A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Jessica Fletcher: So what happens next? Am I now a threat because I know the secret?

Tim Carver: Jessica, we all promised each other Mary would never find out.

Jessica Fletcher: But Carl died. Maybe not murder, but he's dead because of what you all did.

Sam Breen: All right. We'll go to the sheriff, tell him what happened, stand trial. I don't know what a jury will say. We'll even go to jail if it comes to that. But there's no way on God's green earth Mary will ever know the reason why. Not from any of us.

Jessica Fletcher: Nor from me, Sam. She's been hurt enough already.
