Shirley MacLaine appears as Bunny's mom in episode two, and her story raises some interesting questions. She says Bunny's painting actually belongs to her, and she's the only person who knows the backstory — that it features Charles's father, and that both she and the artist, Rose Cooper, were sleeping with him. Was she desperate to get the painting back from Bunny? She claims her vision is bad, but she could be lying, and when Charles goes to ask her some questions, she tells him, "I'm not good at this hour." It might just be an excuse.
But when she meets Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, she quickly says she thinks they didn't do it. If she was guilty, she'd likely want as many suspects as possible. And as Mabel points out, it would be difficult for Leonora to stab someone eight times.
It all comes together in episode nine, when viewers learn that the woman we thought was Leonora was actually Rose Cooper, and she was trying to get her painting back. Bunny had hidden the real one in the bottom of her bird's cage. Rose does reveal, though, that someone was asking about the painting, and in the finale, we learn that person was Poppy.
Our verdict: Not guilty
