The past that haunts you could be your finances, or lack thereof.

Or the past that haunts you could be professional cruise line Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny mascots.

You might get it wrong again, and you might make it worse.

And you might just make the same mistake.

These two need to get a room before there is another murder in the building.

They then go on a date.

For Jan, life is less about second chances and more about being second.

As the second child (the Jo March, if you will) in my family, I relate.

He says, My parents were great and My last girlfriend was perfectly nice.

Jan unlike Mabel and Oliver sees right through his act immediately.

Charles has been haunted by this and Porky and Bugs ever since.

Charles has put on performances, both professional and personal, his whole life.

Now hes finally let go of the act, although hes hiding a lot more than we realized.

Music superstar Sting gets a second chance of sorts, too.

But as soon as Sting discovers Tim Kono was murdered, he is instantly relieved and moves on.

This is shocking to the Arconia mystery gang, who cant let anything go and move on themselves.

Oliver calls his son Will, a veterinarian, over to help save Winnie.

Despite their strained relationship over Olivers financial trouble, Will comes through, and thankfully he succeeds.

No dogs need to die on cute television shows.

Oliver is more incentivized than ever before to find Konos murder because its now personal.

THE KILLER CAME FOR MY FAMILY.

Love, Oliver, he texts Charles.

I say this every week, but Martin Short is so good.

Is Martin Short the new Meryl Streep?

More specifically, Will remembers that Mabel used to hang out with Tim Kono.

That girl is bad news, Will says.

Unfortunately for me, Rilo Kileys Portions for Foxes did not start playing at this very moment.

As Mabel gets closer to discovering Tim Konos secrets, her relationship with him gets closer to getting revealed.

For Mabel, the second chance at a new life with her new friends is up in the air.

Will Charles and Oliver give Mabel a second chance now that they know shes manipulated them?

Will they embrace the mess that is Mabel, or will they move on without her?

Observations

I hope Olivers already writing his next musical: A Morning Turkey for Sting!

Im not detective Benoit Blanc, and Im sorry this is not more clever.

But it could also mean that Tie-Dye Guy is too obvious a choice.

I am once again begging for Mabels entire wardrobe, especially that yellow Big Bird coat.

Or at least Oliver thinks it is.
