This week’s winery fire presents a fresh challenge. Is it an accident, or something more sinister? The episode will likely focus on the pair’s contrasting investigative styles as they tackle the case. Joan, grounded and empathetic, likely connects with the people affected, while Jack, more world-weary and cynical, probably looks for the angles.
