Elsbeth Recap: Shot Through The Heart
Briefly

Kaya Blanke has been promoted to detective, recognized for her deserving competency as she tackles Tim Pearson's mysterious murder case. The episode cleverly unfolds with Marilyn Gladwell, a psychic with a questionable connection to the victim's stepmother, Phyllis. Despite her unconvincing alibi and odd accent, Marilyn's relationship with Phyllis raises suspicions regarding her true motives. Phyllis, heavily dependent on Marilyn for spiritual guidance, hints at a deeper conflict, especially since Tim opposed Marilyn's services. This layered narrative combines humor with intrigue, making detective work both challenging and intriguing for Blanke.
Congratulations, Kaya Blanke, on being promoted to detective! It's way overdue and so well-deserved! And your lovely suit! May the suit and the solving of who, how, and whydunit of Tim Pearson's murder both be the first of many!
Marilyn is the on-call psychic to Tim's stepmother, Phyllis, who has been relying on her throughout the two years since Tim's father's death. She helps Phyllis consult the late George's spirit.
Marilyn's apparent lack of motive and seemingly rock-solid alibi the night of Tim's death...make her an unlikely suspect, but there's definitely something off with her.
There's something fishy about her purported lack of motive, especially when Phyllis notes that Tim had been dead set against her consultations.
