"Mother Knows Best" - Season 05, Episode 04

- by Karen

Louisa's mother, Eleanor, swings by Portwenn -- unannounced and uninvited. That sits well with two new parents who are struggling to find their rhythm and in dire need of sleep. It's clear there's some tension between Louisa and her mum. Most likely due to her mother leaving when she was 11 years old. Eleanor's been in Portwenn before, though, and has some old friends still in town... like Mrs. Tishell. Okay, well maybe friends is the wrong word... 

There's a Fun Run in town and PC Penhale is leading the charge raising donations and making sure everyone knows the marathon route. Never mind that there are some folks in Portwenn who could probably do with some (months of) training before the big day. Proven by the collapse of a villager on prep day. Nothing that a couple of brewskis the night before can't fix.

Bert's getting the restaurant ready and lining up some event day specials. But he's got to make a profit on the do-gooders coming to town, so he can only stretch the menu so far. And he's got a bit of a situation with Mark from The Crab restaurant. Mark's trying to make a buck, too, but Bert senses he's up to something dodgey. This *must* be investigated. He'll of course need some assistance, and since he's been waiting for some real crime action in the village, PC Penhale's all-in. Unfortunately, the Doc had to rescue them, but it was a busy day for Joe just the same.

Mrs. Tishell (and her pink boa) takes the crazy up a notch, inappropriate police uniforms, dislodged testicles, Voodoo shops, alcoholic breast milk, and life realizations after being locked up for days minutes in the The Crab's cooler... the little town of Portwenn definitely does not disappoint.

Belly-up to the bar folks because Mother Knows Best... Enjoy!
