Jessica Flether and her late husband never had any kids. However, their brothers and sisters sure were prolific, as it seems like every third episode stars one of her nieces or nephews. They must number in the hundreds...if not more!
Jessica is playing intermediary between her niece (Kristy McNichol) and her niece's mother. Apparently, the niece dropped everything and ran off to follow a rodeo star with which she is smitten. Not at all surprisingly, there's soon a murder and Jessica and a rep from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police work together to piece together what happened and why.
While I am never thrilled with niece or nephew episodes, the story is entertaining and I enjoyed her relationship with the Mountie. Overall, well worth seeing and a rather average episode....and with this series, average is still awfully good.
