  • The Dream: Poirot investigates the case of a man who dreams of his own murder. He finds clues that point to psychological manipulation and a hidden perpetrator.
  • Greenshaw's Folly: Miss Marple solves a mystery at Greenshaw's Pavilion, where she uncovers a murder connected to a family secret, using her intuition and observation.
