The seventh episode of CBS’s Elsbeth, titled “Something Blue,” features a guest appearance by Keegan-Michael Key as shady financial advisor Ashton Hayes. The episode airs on Thursday, May 2, at 10:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and will be available for streaming on Paramount+.
In “Something Blue,” Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) finds herself at the center of a perplexing mystery when a posh country club wedding takes a deadly turn. The groom meets an untimely demise in a golf cart accident, and Elsbeth suspects foul play, delving into the dark underbelly of the seemingly idyllic community to uncover the truth.
Key’s character, Ashton Hayes, is the father of the bride and is described as having “peculiar behavior.” He is meticulous in planning his daughter’s wedding, including the unfortunate fate of the hapless groom. Elsbeth, with her unique investigative style, uncovers a web of secrets and intrigue, navigating the world of high society and financial manipulation.
The episode also includes a housewarming party hosted by Elsbeth, where she reunites with some old friends. This could potentially include cast members from The Good Wife or The Good Fight, we’re just guessing of course.
Elsbeth has gained popularity as a quirky, lighthearted murder mystery series with a darker overarching plot surrounding Elsbeth’s secret investigation into her new boss, Captain C.W. Wagner (Wendell Pierce). The show has been renewed for a second season, and fans can look forward to more mysteries and guest stars in the remaining episodes of the first season. The episode airs on CBS at 10.00 pm on Thursday, May 2, 2024, and will be available for streaming and on-demand on Paramount+.
