The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 19 - Persistent Random Misfortune

Welcome back to another episode of the podcast with Scott and Chris. This episode looks at “The Black Widow” from 1/12/91, written by Harley Peyton and Robert Engels and directed by Caleb Deschanel, all very familiar with Frost’s and Lynch’s vision by now, and great contributors to it.

Ben Horne is continuing to lose his mind, while Dougie Milford loses his life mid-coitus with his beautiful, maybe cursed, bride. She’s got such an effect on men that even stoic Deputy Hawk is literally falling for her.

The Little Nicky subplot continues, and we realize why he’s named Nicky: he’s the Devil! Or at least Dick Tremayne thinks so, and he gets Andy believing it, too. See, Nicky’s parents died under mysterious circumstances. We see a young Molly Shannon playing it relatively straight as an employee of the Happy Helping Hands adoption agency.

Nadine, still thinking she’s a teen high school girl, has a crush on Mike. Air Force Colonel Riley is looking into Major Briggs’ disappearance and fills in Cooper and Truman on Briggs and a little on the White Lodge.Catherine and Pete have dinner and she gets him used to the idea that Josie is their maid and that she’s culpable in Andrew’s death.

Cooper gets another newspaper chess move from archenemy Windom Earle, as well as a career-and-maybe-life-saving bit of evidence from Audrey Horne showing that he’s being framed for the cocaine trafficking, and that it’s going down at Dead Dog Farm.

Ed and Norma decide it’s finally time to act on their desires, and Hank suspects. DEA Agent Denise turns Ernie to try to nail Jean Renault. James gets closer to Evelyn. The Black Widow silences her harshest critic, the mayor, and Briggs comes home, having lost two days.

Lots happening in this episode. Not all storylines are great, which is a common complaint about Season Two, but this one moves pretty well and at least a couple of these stories are coming to a close soon.

Also, we promised to add some information the eponymous Black widow or as Scott refers to her, “The little red-haired girl”. Imbued with the power to make men swoon, the character was played by actress Robin Lively, half-sister to Blake Lively. She has been a working actress since she was 6 years old with notable film roles including, Teen Witch, Karate Kid III and many guest starring roles on television show from Punky Brewster to the Drew Carey Show up to the current season and even a few lead roles such as the night time soap opera Savannah and the Rush Hour TV adaptation.
