Det. Lt. Avery Mendelsohn: Lt. Avery: What do you say, Mrs. Fletcher? I got an appointment with the podiatrist at 2:00, but I still got time for a bite to eat.
Jessica Fletcher: Lieutenant, I haven't eaten a thing since breakfast. Come to think of it, I didn't even eat then.
Det. Lt. Avery Mendelsohn: Good. I know this deli. The guy who runs it, Max, a friend of my cousin, Sadie, he makes a lox and cream cheese platter you could die from.
Jessica Fletcher: Lox? I-Is that something like gefilte fish?
Det. Lt. Avery Mendelsohn: Mrs. F., for a bright woman, you have been leading a very uninformed life. Permit me the pleasure of educating you.

It's an enjoyable episode, if a little far fetched. It stretches the imagination more then usual to think that our beloved crime writer would be drafted into Congress without any sort of election.
It's well acted, Gary Sandy is good as Joe, but obvious star Herschel Bernardi shines as the hypochondriac Lieutenant. Great production values, the fashions are chic, fabulous decor.
A solid episode. 7/10
