Jessica is filming her PBS documentary series on murder mysteries but the real action seems to be nearby on the set of Buds, the number 1 hit comedy on television about 6 young people living in New York. The show's producer, Ricki Vardian, is under pressure to reduce costs and let's it be known that 1 of the 6 stars of the show is to be written out with a cliffhanger in the last episode. She refuses to say who the 'victim' will be, however. Some on the show would like to be cut allowing them to pursue other interests but for most, their greatest fear is the unemployment line. Ricki isn't well liked by anyone, including her husband, so there is no shortage of suspects for Jessica to look over when Ricki is found dead in her office on the last day of shooting.
