TWO FOR TUESDAY - FIELDING A THEORY OF RELATEEVEETY

As a "Two For Tuesday", we've got a second theory of relateeveety today which is not connected to the previous post, except for the show which inspired it.

'COLUMBO'

"ANY OLD PORT IN A STORM"
&
"BUTTERFLY IN SHADES OF GREY"

Karen Fielding was the executive secretary for vintner Adrian Carsini and she had been secretly in love with him for the last twelve years she had been working for him.  So in love with him that she threatened to blackmail him into marrying her to keep the secret that he had murdered his half-brother.

Her father had a sister who married a man named Chase.  And Mrs. Chase wanted to make sure that her family name would live on into the next generation.  So Mr. Chase agreed to his wife's request and they named their son Fielding Chase.  He grew up to be a nationally syndicated radio show conservative with an unnatural fixation on his young ward whom he treated as more than a daughter.

So both cousins eventually had to deal with Lt. Columbo in the investigation of two different murders.  And as it turned out, Fielding Chase had been the murderer in the later case; Karen only tried to blackmail one into marrying her.

BCnU!
