Amid swank surroundings, criminologists Jonathan Croft, Vanessa Smith and Ethan Arcane deduce that a rich, much despised hunter has been polished off by a slingshot weapon. All evidence points to a gun-hating hippie named David. Jonathan does the leg work with quiet, understated charm, Vanessa is an exquisite but unbelievable sleuth, and Ethan ponders.

This episode lets you know something of the background of Jonathan Croft. Turns out his wife was assassinated during an earlier mission that didn't come off. Now Gabrielle appears on the scene as a woman who looks like his wife, and she arouses a bit of jealousy in Vanessa.
