"Holy Cannoli!" It's a Shark Special in 'A Taste of Murder’s Finale
Joe on Sofia: "She brought so much joy into my life. So much love. So much hope when we had you. And then I lost her. We lost her."
It’s the finale episode of A Taste For Murder, and we’ll get some storyline tidying up, justice to be done, delicious food, and fishy business. Episode 6, Holy Cannoli! delivers, with a surprise ending and more than a hint of what’s to come in a potential Season 2. As usual, an opening sequence delivers the unexpected – the Coast Guard in pursuit of a suspicious boat manned by a couple of possible smugglers. Once ashore, the two men run and disappear, abandoning their cargo, a dead shark.
Angelica is scrolling through photos of herself and Daniele when her dad knocks at the door. (This is a recent development for Joe who would normally just walk into her room.) He reports test results prove she was drugged; Daniele will be charged. She admits Luca told her Daniele was dealing. Joe goes into avenging angel/protective dad/mad beast mode, going after Luca until told to stop by Gennaro. Meanwhile, Elena comforts her granddaughter in a beautiful scene with Phyllis Logan and Beau Gadsdon. Elena’s grief at the loss of her daughter, Joe’s wife Sofia, has made her desperate to hold those she loves close, and now she invites Angelica to stay on the island, continue with her education, and learn how to run the restaurant. Angelica thanks her but wisely does not make a decision.
Lara comes to find Joe to show him a shark, on display at the harbor. Something fishy is definitely going on – the flight of the two men, a boat with a large dead shark but no fishing tackle aboard. Joe starts protesting he isn't here to be involved in a non-criminal case, but changes his mind when body parts fall out of the shark’s mouth.
