Trouble In Eden

S04E09·November 22, 1987·1h·CBS

After being notified of her sister's death, a friend of Jessica's gets hit by a car, and almost loses her life. Fearing that both events are connected, Jessica takes it upon herself to travel to the small town in Oregon, where Charlotte had a thriving hotel called "Garden of Eden" while posing as her grieving sister. Upon her arrival she sees that things aren't what they appear, especially after Charlotte was swiftly cremated and several people wanted to take control of the hotel, including the less than honorable sheriff and town doctor.
