Short summary

Ben defends the host of a cooking show when her ex-husband appears on her show and he dies after tasting what she was preparing and it's no big secret that she hates him. Because he wrote a cookbook using her recipes. Later the police find what was used to kill him in her house, when they get an anonymous tip. Ben operates under the assumption that she's the intended target, because other than her, no one has reason to kill her ex-husband,,and normally she tastes what she cooks. And she narrows it down to three men who just happen to be at the taping. So Ben asks the arresting officer to accompany him and record the three men and see if he can identify the anonymous caller. And when he thinks who it might be, Ben goes to see him but finds the man dead.

Final appearance of James McEachin as Lt. Frank Daniels, although McEachin did return for the Season 9 episode The Assault, but in a different role.
