'''Final clue/twist:''' Columbo fakes the death of his wife. After the "funeral", Columbo invites Vivian into his house. He makes himself toast on which he spreads marmalade. While Columbo acts like he's poisoned, Vivian confesses the murder. He then tells her that he suspected her all along and had the jar of marmalade she gave him tested for poison before he gave it to his wife, and replaced it with another. |
