Simon says Colors me dead
The aftermath of a quiet dinner party with reclusive artist Simon Thane throws suspicions on single mother Irene Rutledge when Simon's wife discovers him dead in his studio and one of Irene's dresses turns up stained with his blood. Jessica believes wholeheartedly that the young woman didn't kill Simon. However, she suspects Irene has been hiding a secret and that such taciturnity could result in a conviction if she cannot find the truth about Irene's mysterious past.
Jessica is on the case again in this okish episode. I found it a little dullish and tedious but it gets more interesting in the second half. I liked the part where Sheriff Amos takes a shine to the boy, even to the point of wanting to adopt him. He's my favourite character - very human and very funny.
