All Creatures Great.. and Not So Great
Father McDonovan, a Catholic priest, turns to Maddie and David for help. A woman came to him and confessed that she was thinking about killing herself. Father McDonovan didn't get to see her face doesn't know what she looks like, just that she caught a cab from the church.
Maddie and David go through endless log books from taxi companies until they find the fare. They go to the house where the taxi dropped the woman off. Everything seems normal. The woman is married and happily so, or at least that's what the observe from a distance.
They tell Father McDonovan what they found. He's surprised but accepts it. The next day they learn that Mrs. Adamson blew her head off with a shotgun. Maddie and David visit Mr. Adamson but they don't learn anything new that changes their mind.
Maddie goes over the details of the suicide and realizes that something is wrong. Given the size of the shotgun it was impossible for Mrs. Adamson to have killed herself.
Thoughts
Father McDonovan was played by Brad Dourif. I've seen him in a number of things. The first one that comes to mind is Deadwood. Richard Beymer played the part of Mr. Adamson. He is best known to me for playing Benjamin Horne on Twin Peaks.
This was a decent but not spectacular episode. There were a lot of scenes of Maddie and David talking things over. I didn't mention it in my summary but they argue about religion on more than one occasion. Some of those arguments felt like filler to me.
