CBS’s quirky crime procedural “Elsbeth” is back this Thursday, and this week’s case involves a wealthy playboy with a rather unusual agenda. In the episode titled “I’ve Got a Little List,” Elsbeth finds herself investigating Rod, played by guest star Billy Magnussen. Rod seems to be working his way through a unique bucket list – one that might even involve murder.

Following a seemingly random shooting, Elsbeth’s investigation points towards Rod and his appetite for thrills. The question becomes: is he simply an entitled rich kid seeking excitement, or is something darker going on? As Elsbeth delves into the mystery, her methods could put her in a difficult position, potentially facing legal trouble herself.

Known for her unique perspective that often clashes with the NYPD, particularly Captain C.W. Wagner, Elsbeth’s approach will likely be central to the episode. Written by Erica Shelton Kodish and directed by Lily Mariye, this installment promises a blend of mystery and the show’s signature offbeat humor.
