| "Blood on the
Vine" |
| Hugo finds a scruffy, abandoned,
pregnant cat and brings her to Matt. Lucy gets
attached to her. Rosemary and Terence are away
for a weekend of wine tasting at Wandin Valley
Estates. Once there, they discover a couple of
surprises -- (1) Esme is there, filling in for
Ivy Clements and (2) the winery is staging a
murder mystery weekend (proceeds going to
charity). Their hostess for the weekend is
Madeleine Wells, a murder mystery author, instead
of J. D. Sebastian (the owner of the winery). Her
niece, Jilly Carter, is up there with her married
loudmouth of a boss, Howard Lee (the Burrigan
Shire councillor). Jilly is displaying obvious
signs of multiple personalities. Esme is given
the character of the Miss Marples-like detective,
Terence is the tee-totalling vicar, and Rosemary
is a military lieutenant. Harry and Kate take full
advantage of the fact that both of their
superiors are away. Rosemary and Terence almost
have their first kiss but are interrupted by the
murder of victim #3. A child is brought in with
whooping cough because his mother, Mrs. Calahan,
didn't immunize him. Harry and Darcy debate the
merits of immunization. Hugo is hurt trying to
break up a bar fight. Rosemary's character
becomes another murder victim, ruining Terence's
plans for the weekend. Miss Wells disappears and
Terence and Rosemary find her in the keg room,
suffering from injuries sustained in a fall plus
a skull fracture.
The cat has 6
kittens (3 boys and 3 girls) -- Lucy wants to
keep 3 but Matt doesn't want any. Perce and Darcy
debate the merits of their chosen methods for
combating cabbage moths. Frank is filling in for
Hugo at the club and having the time of his life.
Hugo thinks Frank is trying to muscle in on his
job. Lucy is trying to come up with baby names.
Tom investigates the accident at Wandin Valley
Estates. Jilly's alternate personality,
Geraldine, makes an appearance while Jilly is
talking to Esme and she decides to keep Esme from
blowing the whistle on her. Terence calls the
winery looking for Esme and senses something is
wrong. He and Tom go out to the winery and are
passed by Esme's car, with Geraldine at the
wheel. When they pull her over, they discover
Esme tied up in the trunk. "Geraldine"
tries to flee and Tom has to tackle her.
Jilly reasserts
her personality at the jail and is brought to the
hospital in a frantic state. There, Terence and
Tom learn that the Geraldine personality first
really came to the forefront when Jilly's
boyfriend, Steve, killed himself years ago and
Jilly found the body. "Geraldine"
blamed Jilly's grandmother and "took care of
her" and later decided to "take care
of" Madeleine, who didn't approve of Jilly's
new boyfriend, Mr. Lee. Frank is offered the
Manager position at the pub and Hugo quits in
protest. Frank convinces him to stay. It's two
weeks and one day until Lucy's due date. Terence
and Rosemary get a case of wine from J. D.
Sebastian. Terence tries to entice Rosemary into
drinking it with him but she initially turns him
down. She changes her mind just before he leaves.
