The Second Season of Murder in a Small Town introduces some season-long conflicts for Karl (Rossif Sutherland) and Cassandra (Kristin Kreuk) to deal with following her election to the town council with the mayor (Marcia Gay Harden) attempting to pit the pair against each other suggesting the town’s limited resources can’t handle an increase in both police funding and the arts center central to Cassandra’s campaign platform. While the pair don’t fall for the trap, it’s easy to see how this conflict could continue to linger (as well as a B-story involving the teenager of one of Karl’s officers acting out).
