Trivia
The writing of this episode required significant exposition to explain the absence of several beloved characters from the series, including Detective Lynn Ligett-Smith; Roe's boyfriend Martin Bartell; and erstwhile juvenile delinquent-turned bird dog Perry Dell - all of this on the heels of John Queensland being written out of the series in Last Scene Alive (2018). Further altering the tone of this episode is the unexplained substitution of an unfamiliar actor playing newspaper editor Macon Turner.

Goofs
The murder weapon is pinking shears, not serrated scissors. no seamstress worth her stitch would ever refer to them as scissors. and no coroner, unless themself a subject of a premature postmortem. would ever confuse the wound made by pinking shears with that from a serrated steak knife.

A return to form

I liked this episode considerably more than the other reviewers here. It was a return to form in the sense that the plot centered on the town and residents of Lawrenceton, and the cast was mostly in place again, with the exception of Miranda Frigon (the character of Lynn Liggett-Smith).

Lexa Doig (Sally Allison) is still the MVP, IMO. She brings so much energy and humor to this show, it truly suffers when she is absent.

The murder itself was pleasantly complicated, with several possible suspects, who proved less than honest and trustworthy.

The writers, I thought, did a wonderful job of having Aurora defend her skeptical nature to her mother, Aida, who worried that Aurora's suspicious mind made it hard for people to get close to her. Later, in a beautifully written scene, the writers give us a scene between Sally and Aurora, where we witness how Aurora's true friends forgive and appreciate her suspicious, but open mind.
