Funniest Moment:  Laverne attempting to think like a killer:  "I’m a bald killer. I follow two dames into the dining car. One is a knockout - a long-legged beauty, whose tall, senseless body makes me forget my miserable childhood. And with her - a friend. I follow the girls back to their compartment - if only the pretty one was there alone. But  no such luck. The stump is in there with her..."  -Laverne​

Episode in One Ridiculous Picture:

























Star Rating:  4.5/5
Verdict:  There’s a reason why this two-parter is what Cindy Williams regularly cites as one of her all-time favorite episodes. In what seems like it could have easily become a too-ridiculous plot device (murder mystery special episode!), we end up actually getting an awesome comedic gem. Bravo, ladies.​
