Jessica is worried that her good name is about to be trashed, her first short story is set to appear in an adult magazine, after the publication 'Literary Lines,' has changed hands. Jessica, accompanied by Grady sets off to the villa of owner Christopher Bundy, to have it out with him. Bundy charms Jessica, and encourages her to stay. As the family and guests sit down to dinner, ousted owner of Literary Lines Chester Harrison bursts in, berating Bundy for his business methods. Unsurprisingly Bundy is murdered.
I am struck my just how much of a stud Grady is, not only can he walk into top notch jobs when he likes, but he's obviously irresistible to the ladies too, I'll say his choice in car here is perfect, that MG is glorious.
I like this episode, hard to imagine the works of JB Fletcher put in a trashy magazine, but this is television. The plot is cleverly devises, and the solution is a clever one. There's little to find fault with, Robert Stack is very good as Chester, and the production values are brilliant, I'm struck by how classy the decor is throughout.
Perhaps not a standout episode, but very good nonetheless. 7/10
