Although it’s essentially a foregone conclusion that pre-release spoilers and leaks won’t be made available, The Dinner Table Detective episode 5 at least has confirmed release information.

The Dinner Table Detective episode 4 recap
The Dinner Table Detective episode 4 began with Reiko already at the crime scene of Shinichi Nozaki’s death. While it wasn’t obviously a murder, they still had to test for poison. His phone and keys were also missing. Kazamatsuri immediately blamed a girlfriend given Nozaki was only in his underwear. After finding further evidence to support this, they asked his coworkers. While no one confirmed he had a girlfriend, Eri Sawada revealed he recently resigned.
She and Kazamatsuri then found an eyewitness who saw a tall woman leaving Nozaki’s apartment. A second eyewitness recognized Nozaki, but said he was with a short woman. The two then found a destroyed phone which belonged to Nozaki. The autopsy also confirmed that he was indeed poisoned. That night at dinner, Kageyama offered to help once again, but Reiko refused. They then learned that Nozaki had dated several different women in recent months.
They then investigated local matchmakers, where they narrowed their suspects down to three women. The most likely suspect proved to be Chizuru Morino, who worked at a flower shop and knew about the other women. Her store also carried dimpylate. That night, Kageyama helped Reiko realize that the tall and short women were the same person. The episode ended with Kageyama asserting that the culprit used elevator shoes to change her height.
What to expect from The Dinner Table Detective episode 5 (speculative)
Thanks to Kageyama’s clue to Reiko, The Dinner Table Detective episode 5 will likely see her and Kazamatsuri officially solve Nozaki’s murder and arrest Chizuru. This should happen fairly early on in the installment, setting up the rest of its focus to explain Nozaki and Chizuru’s romantic relationship. More likely than not, her motivations will be confirmed as the fact that he was seeing two other women besides her while they dated.
However, this is unlikely to take the entirety of the next episode, especially given how the first four have progressed thus far. Likewise, it’s expected that the second half of episode 5 will see Reiko and Kazamatsuri’s next case begin. The episode will likely end with the pair being stumped, prompting Reiko to reveal her true identity and call in Kageyama.
