Elsbeth is back! In the Season 4 premiere, "Crazy in Love," best-selling relationship guru Serena Collier (Nicole Scherzinger) preaches trust from the stage while carrying on a very secret affair. When her old flame Casey turns up dead, Elsbeth Tascioni can't stop thinking about the suspiciously clean apartment and the one fancy bottle of Riesling sitting among the cheap beer. Marissa and Jason break down Scherzinger's delightfully weird turn and its Esther Perel vibes, Captain Wagner's love of gossip (and Claudia!), Smullen's dating-app era, and the trail of circumstantial clues that leads to a bracelet-sized reveal. Plus: Teddy sets a wedding date, Grandma's unanswered calls, who should play Elsbeth's mom, and our very honest feelings about Smelbeth. Hint: there is only one man for Elsbeth.
