This episode, Roland MacLane's fourth, would've made more sense early on the series, since it seems odd that if so many of the castaways are suspects in a murder case that none of the visitors to the island ever mentioned it.  (Or that it had never come up on the radio news.)  Nonetheless, the reconstruction of the night of the murder works well, and we find out a bit more about the castaways' lives before the shipwreck, including that Mary Ann's father went bankrupt.  (I assume she and her mother then moved in with Uncle George and Aunt Martha.)  Shipping note: Ginger kisses Gilligan when he's pretending to be the victim, although she does not slap his face like she claimed to with Randolph Blake.
