The Dinner Table Detective episode 1 recap

The Dinner Table Detective episode 1 began with Reiko Hosho’s introduction as she attended her uncle Goro Kiryuin’s 60th birthday party. She then met up with her cousins and friends, speaking with them and learning of another friend Mai’s death at her own hands. This was implied to be a result of her fiance Kazuya Teshirogi abandoning their love for an arranged marriage with someone named Mizuho, whom Reiko was familiar with.

Reiko later got a call from her partner Inspector Kazamatsuri to meet her at the hotel she was already at for a crime scene. A mysterious butler provided Reiko with her detective outfit, allowing her to go meet with Kazamatsuri. This revealed the crime scene’s victim to be Mizuho, who died after claiming her assailant was a woman in a red dress with a green necklace. She also added that she hadn’t seen this person before, but that they seemed familiar somehow.

Kazamatsuri and Reiko immediately rounded up her cousins, all in red dresses, and one other guest who also had on a red dress. However, they were all exonerated via questioning, as was the man who found Mizuho given his status as her lawyer. This led Kazamatsuri to panic, demanding Reiko to find the criminal before they had to leave in 30 minutes. The episode ended with the butler introducing himself as Kageyama, Reiko’s new servant who also solved the case.

What to expect from The Dinner Table Detective episode 2 (speculative)

The Dinner Table Detective episode 2 should begin with a continued focus on Reiko and Kageyama’s discussion about what she has to do to help him confirm his suspicions. In the process, he should also explain what his suspicions are and how he came to such conclusions. More likely than not, Kageyama will have a professional background which goes beyond his butlering duties, hence his detective skills.

Focus should then shift to Kageyama and Reiko executing their plan with Kazamatsuri’s help. More likely than not, this will confirm that Mizuho’s attacker used Reiko’s dress and jewelry, which she changed out of to get into her detective uniform, to disguise herself. The episode should end with the case solved and Kageyama, Kazamatsuri, and Reiko cementing their partnership.
