Synopsis

Rodney Schmuck and his wife, Cleo, Hillside Manor's latest guests, seem completely ordinary. Judith McMonigle Flynn is touched to hear that the forty-something couple is in town to visit family. Rodney has come to visit his mother - who, he claims, is none other than Judith herself! Shocked to meet a son she's certain she never had, she insists he's made a mistake. Then Rodney shows her proof: a birth certificate from Norway General Hospital listing Judith Anne Grover as his mother. The father's name is Unknown. But she's got an even bigger problem on her hands when one of the B&B's own guests turns up dead. Then Rodney announces he wants Judith to financially compensate him for abandoning abandoning him. Perhaps she'll sign over Hillside Manor? Fat chance of that...
