- TriviaMildred Natwick co-starred alongside Angela Lansbury in The Court Jester (1955) starring Danny Kaye. The characters played by Natwick and Lansbury comment that it's been 30 years since they saw each other, a nod to their time working on the movie.
- GoofsWhen Jessica is comparing Carrie's handwritten letter to her Last Will and Testament, the supposed "will" is actually what appears to be a page from a transcript of one of Jessica's books. The "will" starts with "It was a dark and stormy night in Cabot Cove. I sat in my favorite rocker contemplating the evenings happenings with anxiety and regret."

Rev. Willie John Fargo: I've decided to go away for awhile... to Africa, Asia, South America, any place the simple folks need me.
Jessica Fletcher: Well, I will you luck, Willie John, and I hope that you find what you're looking for.
Rev. Willie John Fargo: Oh, I will, Miss Jessica. I will, indeed, the good Lord willing.

Rugs Ahoy!
An above average episode of MSW, with an occasionally over-wrought plot, but well put together, and a nice appearance from Mildred Natwick. What makes this remarkable, however, is not the plot or the acting, it's the wigs.
Jack Bannon, Richard Herd and Dick Van Patten sport amazingly obvious cheap hairpieces. This goes on all the time, of course, but in this particular episode it's very distracting. In one scene, Jack, Dick and Richard are arguing and decide to take the row elsewhere. The viewer just hopes it isn't the car park, because at the first scent of a high wind it's going to get like The Trouble With Tribbles out there. Steve Forrest looks like he's augmented as well, but this could just be a an extension put on to help his characterisation as a florid tele-evangalist.
I don't think any of that counts as spoilers. More a warning.
Over all scores: Episode: 7/10; rugs 2/10.
