Goofs:

Continuity: In the scene where Scott Lodge's car falls over the cliff, it tumbles over the edge and lands on its roof with its wheels up in the air. It does not burst into flame as indicated later in the episode by Sheriff Bodine: the entire crash sequence is stock footage, taken from another TV show. Furthermore, Scott's car is a convertible and the car in the crash sequence has a metal roof. more

"It's a Bird. It's a Cage. It's Duping Time", 27 August 2009
7/10
Author: WeatherViolet from United States

Lovely Classic film actress Ann Blyth shines in her thus far swan song role as a lady on edge of breakdown in "Reflections of the Mind."

Here, Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) travels to Cincinnati, Ohio, to visit dear friend Francesca Lodge (Miss Blyth) upon learning of her troubles, seeing things, and hearing things relating to her late husband, Phillip Devon.

Things just don't add up, as Francesa hears a tune from a music box and telephone conversations from her deceased first husband, while no one else does, and sees a deceased canary, which others see as very much alive.

But who perpetrates these illusions, which torture Francesa? Doctor Victor March (Steven Keats), her Pyschiatrist? Cheryl Lodge (Stacey Nelkin), her daughter? Carl (Wings Hauser), her gardener? Margaret (Esther Rolle), her maid? Scott Lodge (Ben Murphy), her young husband? Brooke Devon (Janet DeMay), his admiring secretary? Or could it be a conspiracy?

Jessica teams with Sheriff Bodine (Martin Milner) to attempt to uncover the truth before it's too late although during the course of their investigation.
