Murder Weapon to Go
- Mo desperately wants to go to the crime scene, but Miss Lana tells her it's unsafe.
- Instead Miss Lana tells Mo to open her present: She's gotten Mo a scrapbook for her autobiography, and has even included pictures of their strange little family.
- After much wheedling, Miss Lana relents and Mo heads on over to Mr. Jesse's place; a lot of other people are milling about watching the police do their job.
- Seeing the big crowd, Mo gets an idea: She can take orders for the café to cater their lunches. What an entrepreneurial spirit.
- She has a couple of her friends, including Skeeter, start taking down orders while she sneaks past the crime tape to get a better look at Mr. Jesse's place.
- She sees Detective Starr talking to his two deputies, Ben and Marla. Detective Starr hears her sneaking up on them and almost shoots her, but Mo calls out.
- Then she makes a crazy find—she discovers Mr. Jesse's oar with bloodstains on it. She's found the murder weapon.
