To escape his persistent--and dishonest--corporate sponsors, a Nobel Prize-winning microbiologist fakes his own death. It's a clever ruse, but not a particularly healthy one: soon afterward, the missing scientist turns up murdered for real. Typically, the wrong man is accused of the crime, obliging Jessica (Angela Lansbury) to take over investigation of the case herself...while her old friend Lt. Artie Gelber (Herb Edelman) fusses and fumes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The crew of the Enterprise suffers a sudden, total, and thoroughly inexplicable loss of memory. This mass amnesia could not have happened at a worse time: engaged in a Federation war against the hated Lysians, the crew not only can't remember who they're fighting, they don't even know why. Figuring prominently in the baffling proceedings is Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes), a mercurial character established 12 episodes earlier in "Ensign Ro." Scripted by Barry Schkolnick from a story by Paul Schiffer, the Emmy-nominated "Conundrum" was originally telecast February 22, 1992. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jessica (Angela Lansbury) heads to California, there to link up with her niece Victoria (Genie Francis), now employed as a real estate broker. Showing up at a dilapidated mansion to close a deal with the house's owner, Victoria finds that the owner is in no mood to bargain--mainly because he's dead. Inevitably, Victoria is held on suspicion, obliging Jessica to get her niece off the hook once again. Dean Butler (Little House on the Prairie) takes over from Jeff Conaway in the role of Victoria's husband Howard. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
- 1987
Hunter (Fred Dryer) investigates when journalist Ralph Ormond (Richard Gilliland), who holds evidence that will put a Mob boss away for good, is reportedly killed in a car bombing. Actually, it's a case of mistaken identity: while the city mourns an innocent bystander, the very-much-alive Ormond intends to sell his evidence and retire to a life of ease--far, far away from Los Angeles. But Hunter puts a crimp in this plan and sees to it that the guilty--ALL the guilty--will suffer! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
