He staged his disappearance by switching places with the real victim, producer Doug Helman. Jessica digs further in both private and professional lives till the threads meet.
Ratings, horrible TV anchor, drug dealers and murder or us it- this is a bit of convoluted mystery but hold its cards to its chest till the end. Not too striking of an episode but a little interesting due to the picture of Cabot Cove getting into the headline news and the insight into news reporting and ratings.
