At the opening celebration, Mel meets more football players, the coach, and the owner. After an unpleasant conversation with the owner, Mel can’t believe how terrible he is.

Still, she’s surprised to discover the owner dead in the bakery the next morning. She’s stunned to learn that Keogh is the prime suspect in the murder. Mel knows that Keogh wouldn’t kill anyone and sets out to prove the innocence of her new partner.
