In the series opener Lorna is forever redecorating her home and meets up with her friend Annie, a fellow work at home writer. Together they visit the sad little local museum that houses a victorian chair she wants to use as a model for a chair she’d like for her home, but the chair is gone - possibly ruined by smoke from a fire in the museum. The two decide to visit a large flea market in San Jose to search for a copy of the chair, only to find the actual chair which Lorna buys and brings home. Determined to find out if the museum is defrauding the island taxpayers Lorna and Annie begin trailing the museum docents and tracking the former movements of the chair in question. After being stonewalled by the senior citizen docents they take their case to local detectives in their first run in with “the law” and Detective Keeling.

**Special Note about this episode: When we made this episode in 2008, Amy Winehouse was alive and kicking. May she rest in peace.

Annie hasn’t slept in two weeks. She truly believes an Amy Winehouse ghost like figure is haunting her home. Over lunch she divulges her haunting story to Lorna and convinces her to stay up late with her to witness the haunting. That night Lorna witness the haunting herself, she doesn’t believe it, but she does see it and confirms Annie’s worst nightmare, that Amy Winehouse is haunting her. The next day the two visit a “medium” and for a price are able to get the medium to perform a seance at the house that night. Without finding out if the seance took or not Lorna gives Annie the bum rush out of the house to Sally and Lorna’s home in hopes of Annie getting some undisturbed sleep. The next day Lorna meets up with a real estate agent who is showing her the new homes on the market when they pull up to an empty home on the same street that Annie lives on. The agent tells her the story of the craftsman bungalow styled home and that it is very possible there was a murder in the 1920’s as the occupants went missing and were never heard from again. Although she is delighted with the home she’s not sure whether or not to confirm Annie’s haunting or keep mum and get a good price on the home.
