Jessica is stunned when Person Giles is stood in front of her, out on patrol, and back in publishing. When a murder occurs at Sutton Place Publishing, Giles is the prime suspect.
I loved this episode, it really is a classic mystery. The most obvious thing here, it the return to the very first episode, and the return of Jessica's first case, Preston Giles. Arthur Hill was just as good here as he was in the pilot episode.
It's perhaps a shame that the show seldom returned to its past, it hardly ever picked up on old cases, this one worked incredibly well. Even the flashback sequences had a real resonance.
That ending, one of the show's best, genuinely shocking scenes.
Great to see the legendary Lois Chiles here, talk about an on screen presence, she's great here, her character has a clash with a character called Linette, was writer Tom Sawyer a Death on the Nile fan?
Awesome episode, 9/10.
