Episode 1 Recap
In episode 1 of The Dinner Table Detective, viewers were introduced to Reiko Hosho at her uncle Goro Kiryuin’s 60th birthday celebration. Amidst the festivities, she learned of a tragic event: her friend Mai’s demise, which was hinted to stem from Kazuya Teshirogi’s abandonment in favor of an arranged marriage with Mizuho, someone known to Reiko.
Reiko received a call from her partner, Inspector Kazamatsuri, urging her to proceed to the hotel for a crime scene investigation. Upon arrival, a mysterious butler provided her with a detective outfit, setting the stage for what was to unfold. The investigation revealed Mizuho as the victim, who claimed her attacker was a mysterious woman clad in a red dress and green necklace, whose face seemed vaguely familiar.
As Reiko and Kazamatsuri began questioning Mizuho’s associates, they soon cleared all suspects, including the male lawyer who discovered Mizuho’s body. A sense of urgency loomed, prompting Kazamatsuri to insist that Reiko find the perpetrator swiftly. The episode concluded with the introduction of Kageyama, the enigmatic butler who also takes on the role of solving the case.
Speculations for Episode 2
In the upcoming second episode, it is anticipated that Reiko and Kageyama will delve into discussions that shed light on the evidence and suspicions leading to the identity of Mizuho’s attacker. Kageyama’s background, revealing his possible expertise beyond his butler duties, could add depth to the investigation.
Viewers can expect to see the duo, with assistance from Kazamatsuri, executing a strategic plan that may involve uncovering that Mizuho’s attacker utilized Reiko’s own attire as a disguise. It’s likely that the episode will conclude with the resolution of the case and solidify the partnership between Kageyama, Kazamatsuri, and Reiko.
