Murder, She Wrote: Obituary for a Dead Anchor Rewatch

February 17, 2015 7:29 AM - Season 3, Episode 9

Cabot Cove Welcomes Scrutiny! The hard-hitting investigative TV program (with moments of soft, feminine "Americana"), that is. Kevin Keats, the dashing young(er) TV personality takes what was set to be a "slice of life" piece on Cabot Cove to cool down after directly accusing art collector Ronald Ross of making his money through drug trafficking with notorious Colombians. But when Kevin takes a boat out one morning, the boat explodes (literally) and so does Cabot Cove (figuratively). Can Jessica solve the murder, getting rid of the throngs of reporters and make her town a quiet little "jerkwater village where even the crickets die of boredom" once again?

There ought to be a joke in here along the lines of "What do you call a television newsman who dies at sea?" (An anchor.)
