- TriviaThis is the third time for Genie Francis playing Victoria, Jessica's niece. The first was Birds of a Feather (1984) (season 1) where her, then, fiancé is Howard Griffin, played by Jeff Conaway. They are married in Corned Beef and Carnage (1986) (season 3). Howard Griffin is still married to Victoria here, but Howard is now played by Dean Butler.

Victoria Griffin: [on phone with Kevin] But I told you, I'm seeing my husband's play tonight.
Kevin Tarkington: Vicky, I'm very disappointed in you. I, uh... I thought you were much more flexible, if you know what I mean.
Howard Griffin: [taking phone from Victoria] This is Vicky's husband. If you ever come near her again, I will personally eliminate some of your favorite body parts, if you know what *I* mean!

Written by John Addison
Victoria is working as a realtor but she isn't doing very well...something which seems typical for Jessica's kin. In particular, she's trying to sell a $4,900,000 mansion but the really annoying client seems to be making it tough...yet blames her since it hasn't sold. Clearly, MOST folks wouldn't blame Victoria IF she kills her client...which eventually she is arrested for doing! Can Jessica determine the real killer? And, can she figure out why Howard looks so different?! And, can she figure out where Chad Everett got that godawful hairdo...one that looks like it belongs on Frankenstein!
This is a not particularly great episode. Much of it is because the killer admits what they did...with no real proof. The other reason is that I find some of Jessica's nieces and nephews a bit...well...dopey and it gets old seeing this again and again.
