Elsbeth Season 4 Episode 4, "A Bad Lie," takes Elsbeth Tascioni out of New York and into a New Jersey country club to meet Roy's parents, Glenn and Yvette Stratton. The problem: a rules-obsessed dentist named Perry (Nat Faxon) just sank a suspiciously perfect hole in one worth a $250,000 Aspen trip, and the club president turned up dead on the very same hole. With hole-in-one insurance investigator Rory (Kurt Fuller) as her unofficial partner, Elsbeth digs into clean golf balls, ball markers, and a koi pond, all while dodging dress-code citations and her mother Lydia's criticism. Plus, we finally learn where Elsbeth's investigative instincts come from. Back at the precinct, Captain Wagner clashes with Commissioner Tully at a community outreach day and leaves us wondering what comes next.
