Plot Overview

Keith, as Jonah, grilled Nancy about her meeting with Bill Marceau. Nancy insisted she only wanted to clear up the questions surrounding Tango's death... not to implicate Jonah. Keith became angry, then, gaining his composure, claimed that he went to the cellar to check on Laurie's laundry the day Tango died and that must have been when Tango returned to the apartment. Nancy discredited Keith's story, reminding him that the window was closed when she arrived; therefore, Tango couldn't have already fallen into the alley. Panicking, Keith drugged Nancy's sherry with knockout drops. Laurie stopped by Mike's office, just as Mike told Vic that Laurie and Jonah are officially engaged. An uncomfortable Vic made a hasty retreat. Mike offered to take Laurie and Nancy to the Coach House for a fancy dinner, since Nancy needs a distraction from worrying about Cookie. Just as Mike called home, Keith raised a poker above an unconscious Nancy's head, ready to bludgeon her to death, but he couldn't bring himself to dispose of Laurie's mother in such a grisly manner. Later, Keith dragged Nancy to the garage, and after binding her hands to the steering wheel with a length of rope, turned on the car's ignition. As Mike called the Karr home again, an unconscious Nancy was slowly dying from carbon monoxide poisoning.
