Without a spoiler, the end of a forgotten woman is quite original, Columbo makes a decision that is not unprecedented in the series, but which is still quite unexpected.

S05E05 – Everything is just an illusion

Prestidigator, “Grand Santini” is present under the influence of the singer’s master, Impressar Jesse Jesse, who knows that Santin is in fact a former goalkeeper of the SS prison. So Santin kills his master singer, and the public is thinking about it on stage, performing the escape number in the aquarium full of water.

The episode leitmotif is that the inspector has a new jacket offered by his wife and tries to avoid it, which gives a very effective repetition and which, according to folk, walks perfectly: “The new one above, which made him uncomfortable and especially awkward, was a brilliant idea.”

S05E03 – ID game
