The Madness in March: The Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of the Dodgy Draft"

This week's case on "Laura" goes on the court as a future professional basketball player is the suspect of a murder of his ex-girlfriend.

I have to say that this episode might be a bit late, since this episode takes place at the time of March Madness and Jake tells Laura that he has Duke in the Final Four. Nice, should have kept that bet.

Anyway, this episode started off at a natural museum, when a teacher was found dead with no struggle or marks, expect a teaser burn on the neck. Laura, Meredith and Frankie ask the students and others about what they saw. One of the teacher says that the victim was dating a student. A student said that she saw a giant with a dragon.

Laura believed the student story and headed off there. In the meantime, since last episode, Laura hasn't been herself lately. She might be pregnant, which just flows through her head like one of those long pause moments that you don't want or hope it doesn't happen.

The gang interviews the college student who is a popular basketball player. When the player goes to the station and talks, he tells Laura that he has a new girlfriend but he does keep in touch with his ex.  Laura believes him but still puts him in lock up until they find the suspect.

There next suspect was a Russian basketball player from another team that student's team was playing against. It just so happens that Laura and Billy went to the game and had Billy tell a player to tell the Russian player that his mom slept with the entire people in Russia. That upset him and started a brawl between teams.

The Russian player was out of the suspect pool and so was his coach who took the teaser away from him but lost it. That's when Laura looked into the girlfriend, a cheerleader for the team and when Laura talked to her, she kind of confessed.

But that was until she was talking about her mother and how she needs to look pretty and that her boyfriend should never talk to his ex's. That gave Laura the idea of the cheerleader's mother, who's a bit of a tiger mom.

It was the cheerleader's mother who took the teaser and hidden it inside the hot dog cart.

I thought that this episode was simply hilarious and remarkable. I love it that it had that March Madness theme and that Kenny "The Jet" Smith had a guest star.

I can't get enough of Meredith and Frankie's buddy partnership. They are truly the odd couple of detectives. And not to mention that Laura who finds out that she is not pregnant but it was some herb that she's been using that sent out a false positive.

You can catch The Mysteries of Laura Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.
