The Stages of Grief

Plot:

People are making preparations following Mayor Bowman's death. As Marilyn holds the wake, she prepares for the funeral and is comforted by a grief counselor, but is more comforted by the things she pours down the sink. At the reading of the will, Marilyn learns of an unusual bequest to her. Ricky, with Marnie's assistance, tries to figure out who killed the mayor. Dusty shows his true feelings toward the mayor during the autopsy, which in turn may make the mayor miss his own funeral. And the breaking news team does a piece about the upcoming burial, but Heather is more concerned about certain aspects of Corrinda's personal life which may affect both their professional lives. As all this is happening, Death takes a break at some old haunts while the next victim is chosen.
