Episode 4

Detective Smith's brother Paul has left town, and we find ourselves looking in on Mr. Ylung, the dashing young lawyer, seated with Samantha, Magnus Advarsson's granddaughter, in Solomon General Hospital.  They are having an awkward conversation regarding a pregnancy test; Samantha, however, seems a bit confused about the whole subject.  They cannot resolve the issue before the EMT comes in to inform them that Magnus had checked himself out earlier that morning, much to their surprise.

Later that day, at Rajiv's Coffee House, the EMT is trying to find out from Rajiv whether or not anyone has been asking about the EMT's involvement in Magnus' health crisis.  At that very moment Magnus arrives, looking for a restroom; he doesn't recognize the EMT, nor even fully remember that there was an attempt on his life!  Magnus wanders off, and shortly thereafter a woman arrives, claiming to be Magnus' mistress and asking that they deliver a message to him that she will "be at the motel."

During the conversation, Det. Smith has been busily drilling holes in Rajiv's cafe walls, trying desperately to hear something incriminating in the ongoing conversations. Failing to hear anything useful, she returns to her office and has a mysterious phone conversation, after which she leaves.  The EMT enters soon after looking to speak with her, but she is gone!

At the Notell Motel the mistress is talking with the clerk when Magnus arrives.  She greets him, assuming he is there for their rendezvous, but he doesn't recognize her, and insists he is there to use the bathroom.

An EMT arrives, taking Magnus out to the ambulance, only to discover he has been teabagged; two teabags crammed into his throat in an effort to choke him to death!
