Galloway and her daughter Kate are stuck in the cottage when COVID hits. So they’re delighted when a new neighbor moves in next door. Zoe, a nurse, is friendly — maybe too friendly.

Meanwhile, Vic discovers Julia is the granddaughter of a wealthy woman living in a mansion in an industrial area ripe for development. But the woman has been placed in a memory-care facility by her son, Julia’s uncle. That’s what happens to Cleopatra Li, whose amnesia is total. She’s found by a stripper on her way home from work, then taken to a police station. Police eventually find who she is, but the identification is equally traumatic. Li’s parents, who were staying at a nearby lodge, are missing, and when her brother arrives to claim Li, he tells her that their mother has just won a $47 million lottery. Nice motive for murder.
