Chester,having learned that the now deceased Peter was Jessica's lover,shares his jealous,hurt feelings with his wife,and actually apologizes for making her feel the same kind of pain that he's now going through.On an airplane in flight,Eunice conducts a professional interview with Congressman Walter McCallum(Edward Winter),accompanied by his wife Marilyn(Judith-Marie Bergan),who has a serious drinking problem.During a few private moments in the public bathroom,Eunice tells Walter that she was with him in bed on the night that Peter was murdered,before the Congressman's wife interrupts.Marilyn is convinced that Eunice is a pushy little girl reporter who must really be hard up because she follows him around night and day("it's hard to miss her,the girl's in heat!")The Tate household suspects the Campbell household,and vice versa.Burt tries to strangle the overbearing Bob,much to Chuck's chagrin.Chief of Police Tinkler pays another call on the Tates,and we are introduced to one of SOAP's greatest running gags: when the doorbell rings,Benson looks over to Jessica and asks,"you want me to get that?" to which she nods or states her approval; only then does Benson move into action.Tinkler happily joins them for dinner before finally making an arrest: Corinne.

A crime of passion?

Recriminations with, and the families start voicing their opinions as to who they think killed Peter.

Chief of Police Tinkler makes a surprising arrest.

Plenty of funny moments throughout, Benson is back to fine form, taking Chester down at every possible opportunity, and seeing the Tates and Campbells pointing the finger at one another is so funny.

It's nice to see a bit more focus on Eunice, she's been sidelined too much recently.

Once again, it's a glorious spoof of soap land, and what's funny, is that it's about as realistic as the soaps of today, the plot is actually probably more realistic.

Chuck and Bob, once again side splitting, that moment where Burt vents his frustrations on Bob, too funny.

8/10.
