Elsbeth celebrates Christmas tonight at 10p on CBS. It wouldn’t be an episode of the police procedural unless someone was murdered, and that is precisely what happens.
Mr. and Mrs. Christmas, aka Dirk and DeeDee Dashers (Vanessa Bayer), light up the holiday season. However, it is a broken light on a Christmas tree that will take out Dirk. Who would want to kill the man who encompasses the season, especially right before the big day?
Will his death ruin the holiday for everyone, including cheerful Elsbeth (Carrie Preston), who is all about this time of year?
Elsbeth, Kaya (Carra Patterson), and Detective Donnelly (Molly Price) will spend the days leading up until December 25th looking into who killed Dirk. His murder will be a tough nut to crack, even for Elsbeth.
Along the way, while solving the case, she will get some bad news, which will damper her cheer. Our happy detective is going to make you cry with her. Is there anything that can bring joy back into her life?
Solving the murder would be a start, but it is not enough for her. She keeps getting sad news. Will she finally get a Christmas miracle?
You will have to tune in for an episode that is as sweet as all of the gumdrops, chocolate Santas, hot cocoa, egg nog, and candy canes out there.
If ever there was a drama that deserved a Christmas episode, it is this one. And the writers worked their holiday magic with this episode.
