It’s a murder in space on Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 2, “The Wrong Stuff.” Well, in simulated space, anyway.

Elsbeth, Kaya, and Captain Pierce investigate the death of another one of NYC’s elite when he dies in what appears to be a horrible accident during a space training simulation.

But of course, this is a police procedural, so the horrible accident is not so accidental after all. 

Elsbeth zeroes in on Neal Dorsey — played by guest star Rob Riggle — another billionaire with some bad blood with the victim, as her prime suspect.

But a new case isn’t the only thing on Elsbeth’s mind on “The Wrong Stuff.”

Elsbeth’s Season 2 Episode 1, “Subscription to Murder,” left viewers on a bit of a cliffhanger when an unseen person from Elsbeth’s past showed up.

While viewers don’t see who that person is on “Subscription to Murder,” we don’t have to wait until “The Wrong Stuff” to find out who it is.

Elsbeth’s mysterious visitor is Carter Schmidt, who The Good Wife fans might recognize from that series. For those who don’t remember, Schmidt was a lawyer who went up against Alicia on a handful of episodes of The Good Wife and had a history with Elsbeth.

Still, while we know who Elsbeth’s visitor is, we don’t know why he sought her out in NYC. What news will he bring, and how will it shape the season moving forward?
