Tonight on Murder, She Wrote, a clutch of sexy young fortune hunters arrive in Cabot Cove in search of sunken treasure. Seems a map uncovered in the Florida Keys led them to the resting place of a British merchant vessel that went down in 1777, laden with gold. Backing the venture is world-renowned adventurer David Everett (Leslie Nielsen), who greets Jessica with a big ol’ smooch! The silver fox knew her as Jessie MacGill 35 years ago. Though they never dated and it never would’ve worked out–that framed photo of Jessica and the late Frank is omnipresent–they both allude to unspoken feelings. She even knows he’s had four wives. Our girl knows her way around the society section.
