Episode Title:
Turnabout Samurai – 2nd Trial.
Episode Description:
Court is adjourned after Oldbag names studio director Sal Manella and producer Dee Vasquez as potential witnesses to the murder. Resuming their investigation, Phoenix and Maya go to Studio 2 to meet with Manella and Vasquez, who claim they could not have gone to Studio 1 where the body was found because the path was blocked by a broken mascot head. Later, after hearing Oldbag mention an accident that took place five years ago, Phoenix and Maya come across Cody Hackins, a boy who claims to have witnessed the incident. The next day, after Phoenix spends the entire night watching Steel Samurai DVDs for clues, he deduces from Cody's recollection of the day that the costumed figure is actually Jack Hammer. Cody then explains what he saw and shows Phoenix a photo of the incident, showing that Hammer had gone to Studio 2, leading Phoenix to suspect Vasquez as the murderer. Vasquez summons a group of mobsters to silence Phoenix and Maya, but when Gumshoe comes to their rescue, she agrees to testify in court.
