Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, you get to see Ned's skills put to the test when a frozen solid corpse is his next interrogation! However, all the victim can really give them as clues is that he was hit in the face with a baseball bat AND there are tons of potential suspects as he's an insurance man whose job it is to reject claims! Then, through the course of the show, other frozen and clubbed corpses pop up--and, as before, they worked for the same insurance company. The trail leads to the home of a very surly kid who is dying to get a heart transplant and his harried mother. However, the kid couldn't do it--he's just too sick and weak. Could it be the mother? Through most of the episode, Chuck is in hiding at Olive's apartment. That's because dumbbell Ned accidentally blurted out that he was the one who killed her father---and she naturally had to sort all this out for herself. Soon, Paul Rubens' character from a previous episode arrives. He's intrigued by her and wants to discover her secret.

Overall, a very good episode. The only negative is that I really wished someone had just clubbed the obnoxious kid, but he did have a lot of great one-liners. Also, the final scenes involving the monkey and the van just have to be seen.

Oh, and by the way, a Bonobo is NOT a monkey like you see in the show. Until recently they were called 'Pygmy Chimpanzees' and are only a bit smaller than a regular chimp--and look almost nothing like the tiny helper monkey you see here.
