Today episode is based on the short story “The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding” by Agatha Christie.

======

The holidays can make people do strange things. Like fighting strangers over the last Cocomelon Bus in the toy aisle or finishing off a bottle of red wine and telling their mother-in-law’s boyfriend what they really think of him.

But they can also make people more charitable. Like inviting someone you’d otherwise never allow in your home to Christmas dinner. Or holding your tongue when you want to comment on the younger generations’ life choices.

And the holidays are no different for the Lacey family. 

So when Em and her husband, “The Colonel,” hear that their granddaughter Sara wants to travel back home from London with the lover they couldn’t approve of less, they agree anyway.

But little does the Lacey family know, the man Sara has met in London is far from the man he presents himself to be. And the Lacey family Christmas will leave them embroiled in an international scandal and attempted jewel heist.
