Meg is eight-and-a-half months pregnant with twins when she and Michael host a Spanish playwright for the production of his play by one of Michael's graduate students. Then enters the dean of the English department and a man from the college president's office, who say Michael's student is not allowed to do his dissertation and that the play must be canceled. While discussing this, the dean is found murdered. Meg's house becomes a crime scene, and the only way to restore peace is to help Chief Burke solve the murders--while rescuing the student's dissertation and Michael's tenure--all before dashing off to the hospital to give birth to her twins!
