From The Unofficial Murder, She Wrote Casebook:
Episode no. 2: "Deadly Lady"
"Highlights: [...] By this segment, Jessica is not only a prominent mystery writer, but also has a growing reputation for solving real-life crimes. As such, Amos Tupper, Cabot Cove's not-so-swift law enforcer, welcomes the chance to utilize Jessica's detecting skills. A born diplomat, she leads slow-thinking Amos in the right direction, but allows him to believe he is controlling the investigation".
