Continuity mistake: When Jessica is having dinner, his glass swaps between full or almost empty depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: When the episode begins, Jessica is having a meeting with Sally Wilson, who hangs a bag over her shoulder. A shot later, her bag is down and she is hanging it again.
Revealing mistake: When the first scene at Emma's hideaway was shown, obviously the two characters Emma and Jessica were filmed seperately on the couch and then the film was put together (as both are played by Angela Lansbury). However Jessica did a lot of moving while she was talking, so Emma was looking straight across at where she had been, despite her bending down while she talked.
Trivia: This is the only episode in the entire series where the victim is attacked but is later revealed to be still alive.
Question: Why did later seasons have many of the episodes take place in New York?
Answer: The storyline was that Jessica was teaching classes in New York. However, after so many seasons and as ratings declined, it was probably to freshen up the series with a different locale, introduce new characters, and have a greater variety of situations in which Jessica could solve murders. It was already unbelievable that so many people could be murdered in the small town of Cabot Cove. Being in a large city like New York makes it a tiny bit more plausible.
