This episode starts out with Judith's surprise at Jeremy taking her to lunch at one of Sainte Victoire's finest restaurants.
I found it funny, her remark about it having a "two year waiting list". They're in what seems like a very sparsely populated small town. Who are all these people clamoring to get in? AND who have what must be a lot of money to eat there? Jeremy and Judith seem to be the richest, most connected people in town, so why would she be surprised that he could get THEM a reservation? Hmmm.
So, anyway, it turns out to be a surprise birthday party for Judith, and a few of their local friends are there.
Awww....So SWEET!
Included in the party is a dear old friend of Judith's from way back, Nancy, who came with her snarky sister. At one point Nancy excuses herself to go find the restroom but when she doesn't come back, Judith starts to worry.
All of a sudden, Jeremy gets a message on his phone that shows photos of a tied up Nancy... she's been kidnapped!
Luckily, since Jean is right there, she starts trying to figure out who may be some possible suspects. As usual, there are a few wrong turns, including one Jeremy has his own suspicions about.
But eventually they receive a ransom message.
Including a clue that gets Jean to remember something she saw at the party that finally leads her to the place where Nancy is being kept and the person who took her.
But... in a final surprise, it turns out that the person who took her isn't the person who arranged the whole kidnapping.
So, a pretty good one, in my opinion, with lots of Robin! I like that it includes some background information on the characters of Jeremy and Judith, that give them more depth. It's interesting how even though Jean White is the main character, she isn't given as much character development as a lot of the side characters are given. Maybe that's still coming, as there are still hints of a possibly romantic interest from Dom.
