Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to early 20th Century London and another case for the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

Returning from the theatre with Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser), for a play which the downstairs neighbors of Grant also attended, Poirot is alerted to the crime by the two men (Nicholas Pritchard and Robert Hines) attempting to get back to their locked apartment using the dumbwaiter system, and, on accidentally arriving on the wrong floor, discovering the body.

“Cold Plunge” and “Chinos” bring an end to our spies’ hiding starting with Abby’s (Ashleigh Cummings) foolish decision that puts her family in danger and gets her captured. We get a brawl between Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) who now knows it was Mason who betrayed Citadel, and we get Bernard (Stanley Tucci) bringing the two spies together with his new CIA friends (Jack Reynor and Lina El Arabi) and Frank Sharpe (Matt Berry) to go on the offensive in a half-assed plan that goes off the rails almost immediately and leaves one of their own bleeding out on the floor of the CIA.

Superman Sunday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Originally airing on Halloween 1952, “The Birthday Letter” involves a coincidence of young Kathy (Isa Ashdown) who accidentally overhears a crucial piece of information involving a counterfeit plot and also writes to The Daily Planet that her most fervent wish is for Superman to take her to the fair (as apparently Kathy’s leg brace is too much of an impediment for her mother to do so).
