The return of Preston Giles
For the first time in Murder She Wrote history, a murderer whom Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) had turned over to the police in a previous episode makes a comeback appearance. The man in question is Jessica's first publisher (and erstwhile sweetheart!) Preston Giles (Arthur Hill), who had been exposed as the killer in the series' very first episode. Released on parole, Preston goes back to work at a high-level corporation. Although Jessica had hoped to avoid a reunion with Giles, she is unable to do so when he is accused of murdering his company's duplicitous financial controller.
A convicted killer of two murders from the first ever episode getting released in parole is farfetched, however this is a fairly gripping episode with a serious tone and a gritty and tragic ending. Chemistry between Arthur Hill and Jessica is very good and you can sense the sadness between the two - the fact that they were romantic partners.
