There’s a new detective on the block on the Thursday, February 27 episode of ELSBETH…but he’s not exactly making friends with Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) and Kaya (Carra Patterson).
“One of the things we find is it’s very hard to stay mad at Elsbeth,” ELSBETH showrunner Jonathan Tolins previously told Give Me My Remote. “And so, actually, we have an episode coming up where we introduce a new detective who can be more adversarial with her again because it really doesn’t feel right—you can’t have people keep being irritated with her when she ends up solving so many cases. [And] because she’s such a dear person, the other characters just seem like a jerk if they hate her forever. So we’re finding new ways to sort of have new alignments, new partnerships for Elsbeth.”
In an exclusive clip from “Tearjerker,” the team is investigating the death of a wealthy real estate developer—and Elsbeth and Kaya are discussing the extravagant apartment/death location when they’re rudely interrupted by a man passing through.
“Excuse me, this is my crime scene,” he says in the video below.
“Your crime scene?” Kaya asks. “I’m sorry, are you a criminal?”
“I’m Rivers. Detective Rivers,” Rivers (Braeden De La Garza) says. “And I accept your apology.”
“I don’t think she meant it like that,” Elsbeth fires back, defending her friend.
Rivers, however, isn’t impressed. “You must be Elsbeth Tascioni,” he says, dismissively. “Consent decree. Heard a lot about you.”
When he doesn’t expand, Elsbeth asks if that’s the end of his sentence. “Just let me do my job,” Rivers replies.
Watch the tense meeting now!
ELSBETH, Thursdays, 10/9c, CBS
