Jessica's uncle dies, leaving her shares in an American football side. As soon as she arrives she's offered money for the failing club, by many of the people concerned, she declines. Jessica befriends injured player Zak Farrell, who takes Jessica home to introduce his wife Kathy and daughter Jill. One of the would be buyers is found dead in the changing room, Jessica cleverly puts the case together.
It's a solid episode, better then the previous Tough guys don't lie, but only just. It's a pretty good storyline, but perhaps stretches the imagination to have our wonderfully versatile Jessica helping to run a Football side. The crime is intriguing, and the solution is actually brilliant, a really clever piece of deduction. Funny scenes, including Jessica's realisation that she's in the men's shower room. I also love the character of Jill, Jessica's interaction in sign language is great. I didn't really care for Zak or Kathy, both were a bit flat, but Dick Butkus who played Tank was very entertaining.
Pretty good. 7/10
