The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Dead Date" review



As an online date had gone wrong for one person, it's up to Laura to figure out who killed the romance and also how to deal with her own now ex-husband as her new boss.

The story starts out as we come to a maid coming into a room, dancing, about to clean. She gets a startling reaction when she sees a woman who is hung by a silk curtain.

Then cut to Laura eating a pretzel and spots an elder person being robbed by two guys. She engaged  and speaks to them, one being a bit cocky tell her to mind her own business and calling her a soccer mom. That's where she dropped her pretzel and teased one of them.

Robber's never learn right?

And then we see Laura pick up her pretzel, a kid tells her that it's disgusting and she tells him that there's a five second rule that was more than just a five second rule, say 25 seconds. Anyone would have done the same thing if it was that good of a pretzel.

When Laura get's the call about the victim, the only clue is the victim's underwear and a horrible smell of cologne. Billy and her head to the business where the victim got the pair of underwear.

Laura runs into a problem with the worker, due to the fact that Laura isn't wearing their kind of style wearing. Until she calls out to everyone in the store telling that she had tried on a lot of clothes and she has a bit of a rash. That was one of many that was funny.
Laura finally get the cashier's attention.

That got the lady's attention and helped her find who the victim was.

On the other side of things, Laura comes back to the office seeing about everyone checking her ex-husband, Jake's ass out as he puts a up a poster. She doesn't know how this is going to work, thinking that it'll go bad while he thinks it's going to workout great.

Jake seems to be wanting to be everyone's friend and buys cronuts and a cappuccino machine and wants to have some guy time with Billy. He might have been hoping to get some tips of getting back together.

As the investigation is still going, Laura meets with the ex-husband of the victim; he got confused of the new because he thought it was his current wife that had died not his ex. Apparently he doesn't care at all about her.

Laura meets the suspect and his wing-man.
Laura finds that the victim had an apartment and see that she had a child and promises her that she will do everything to solve her mother's murder.

Everything points to a website where the victim was trying to find love. So, Laura goes undercover, filling out a profile and signed up with up to 12 dates. As she dress up as a detective meets a female James Bond, she meets a bunch of weird, freaky guys until one guy spills his drink on her. The man, named Mic gave her a card but also was rude to her, until another guy stepped in and told him to leave.

She comes to find out that this was the guy that was suppose to be with the victim but she turned him down. Which lead to that guy who spilled the drink on Laura that turns out to be the guy's wing-man. There was also another clue that it was the wing-man, due to the fact of the strong cologne smell.

So she calls him and sets a date with him, having both Billy, Meredith and Jake as her backup. Laura plays with the guy and they go to his apartment. As soon as he starts playing with Laura, she goes in and then when she sees his scares decides not to go and that's where he slaps her to the group.

It got to be a real serious dramatic fight as she returns with a punch and kicked him down to the group. Then at the perfect timing that the guys had the power turned off, the lights go out and the guy hit Laura with a metal candle holder. As soon as you think that he was going to bash her hand with it again, backup shows up.

Laura meeting "The Wig-Man"
After a long couple of days, turns down Jake for an invite, she decides to hangout with two other people, her boys as they are in the bedroom watching TV and they are sleeping each by her side.

"Dead Date" seems to be a lot of fun and yet had some dramatic sides like the fight scene. You sometimes tend to forget that this is a drama at times with it also being a comedy with some funny lines.

The character, Sammi, was just a hilarious as a child who protested her own father's work. Doesn't want to get paid but as soon as she was release she was hoping for some money for the bus. But it turns out that we might see her again soon as Laura gave her her card for some babysitting.

The episode was more of how Laura had the balance between her job and facing the fact that her ex-husband is now her boss. Which has made it very funny, with their dialogue.

You can catch new episodes of "The Mysteries of Laura" Wednesday night at 8/7c on NBC.
