The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Season 4, Episode 2 - March 27, 2025 - "Inheritance"

This episode starts out with shopkeeper Charlie's aunt Fifi getting poisoned with mustard gas while cleaning the bathroom of the shop. We see an unknown man lock her in and then slip away as she slowly dies on the floor. So, that's the mystery that Jean needs to figure out this time. Nothing to do with Robin's Jeremy, so that's really all I'll say about the main plot.

He is instead given the silly side story of stepping in and offering to babysit Gloria's dog while she recovers from spraining her ankle.

Much to Judith's dismay...

You see, Judith had left a bucket out, which Gloria had tripped over, so Jeremy's main concern is that she may sue them.

So, they take the dog back to their Chateau, and of course, he escapes.

Luckily, Steve comes across the dog while out driving, and lets Jeremy know.

They go retrieve him, put him in the back of their convertable, and congratulate themselves for a job well done.

And then the dog promptly jumps out of the car and is on the run again. And again, Steve finds and returns him, all the while Jeremy stalling Gloria, who is ready for him to come back. He convinces her that they are just having too fun of a time with the dog.

Eventually, Gloria and Dog are reunited, with her none the wiser about what's been going on. She totally believes that Jeremy and Judith just had the time of their lives playing with him, because all dog owners definitely think that it's impossible for anyone NOT to enjoy their dog as much as they do, ha ha. So she happily tells them that they'll be first in line to call for dogsitting duties whenever she's out of town!

The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Season 4, Episode 1 - March 20, 2025 - "Beach Club"

There is a businessman staying at the hotel in town that goes missing - only to be found tied up and near death, alone in a boat out at sea....by none other than our Jeremy and Judith, while they are enjoying a day out riding their watercrafts!

They get him back to shore, and it just so happens a doctor is conveniently nearby and takes the man away to his "private hospital"

And then they report the incident to the police.

Later, we find out that the man had died, and now there was to be a murder investigation, so Madame Blanc gets called in to help. She puts all the clues together and gets VERY suspicious about the circumstances... especially when at one point, Jeremy chokes on an olive, and Judith tries to flag the "doctor" over to help and he completes ignores her and drives away. Don't worry, though, it is Steve who winds up saving Jeremy, who is more than grateful!

The silly side story involves the pub's local wine supplier scamming Jeremy and Judith by re-labeling cheap wine as fancy wine. Uncle Patrick and Gloria have their suspicions and try to warn them, but they are relaxing at the beach club at the time and want to hear none of it.

So Uncle Patrick and Gloria do some sleuthing of their own and are able to set a trap which reveals the scam in the end. And of course, when it is mentioned around Jeremy and Judith, they are clueless, ha ha.

The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Christmas Special - Dec 24, 2024

Well Hello! I'm back! Got a "Black Friday" special price on the Acorn channel and am back in business watching Madame Blanc!

Early on in this Christmas episode while the characters are preparing for the festivities, a local puppeteer is mysteriously murdered while giving a show for kids by the beach. So Jean is called and must drop everything to unravel THAT mystery.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and Judith have been given a rather silly side story, in my opinion. They each have been told by their own friends that the priest who had married them 30 years ago hadn't been a real priest and therefore their marriage isn't valid. (Could that actually happen? Wouldn't it have been registered as legal and wouldn't there be paperwork saying they were married?)

Anyway, we see them try to hide the news from each other to avoid upset, but it comes out and they must deal with it.

Judith's main concern is that Jeremy wouldn't WANT to marry her again, but he sets her straight:

Culminating in a happy Christmas wedding!
