First, a bit of housekeeping: There will be no Thursday newsletter this week, thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday (see what I did there?). We’ll be back in business next Tuesday as usual, but this seems like a good time for a heads-up about our holiday publishing schedule.

Fellow Broads, in this dark time, there is much for which to be thankful. Sure, sure, health and family and all that jazz. Friends and a roof over your head. Right, right. But I’m talking about something arguably just as vital a cog in the machine of our wellbeing: lowish-budget mid-level celebrity Christmas TV movies. While everything else in this crazy mixed-up world may feel like it’s, uh, drifting out to Garbage Island, this category at least delivers on its promises.

A few weeks ago, my fellow Broads helped me decide which Vintage Cookbook I’d buy next. The winner was The Glamour Magazine After Five Cookbook, which I obediently purchased, even though someone had bought the copy I wanted and I had to settle for one without a dust jacket.

Before we get into the recap, I want to point out that for a long moment I had to search my soul to figure out whether I had hallucinated “Marshall Peepope,” or simply wanted the name to be true so badly that I made it up. But no. It WAS real. Not until Sept. 28, after episode five aired, did anyone edit the Only Murders in the Building Wikipedia to reflect that “Marshall Peepope” is in fact “Marshall P. Pope,” which this episode then confirms. When I saw it written out, I felt betrayed.
