I loved Julie Adams on that show. I seem to remember she had a lot of longwinded dialogue on that show (she talked a lot) And she talked very fast, too.

later on in the same episode, she gets a very rare line of genuinely funny dialogue (for MsW, that is):

"Jessica! PLEASE! I'd get down on my knees and BEG, but this is MY LAST PAIR OF PANTY HOSE!"

Ann Harding, conservative but not prudish, tries to reform his impulses. They get married thanks to some skullduggery on Harding’s part. But the marriage is strictly a business arrangement. If Powell isn’t happy, Harding will gladly divorce him, and not bother about alimony. What a deal, at least for Powell. Double Harness is a clash between old fashioned values like industriousness and responsibility, versus doing as one pleases. The movie resolves this dichotomy by showing they need not be in conflict at all.

It's also a clash between the butler and the Chinese chef! I haven't seen the film for a while but I remember enjoying it very much.

There were a small handful of episodes though, like "The Days Dwindle Down", "Trouble in Eden", "Alma Murder", and "Hannigan's Wake" where the murder occurred before Jessica arrived on the scene, but otherwise it does beg the question as to why she kept being invited places when death followed her everywhere.
