In Perry Mason Season 1 Episode 2, the LAPD made arrests without the guidance of Officer Paul Drake, and Sister Alice presided over Charlie Dodson’s funeral.
In the previous episode of HBO’s Perry Mason, E.B. Jonathan recruited Perry to investigate the kidnapping and death of Charlie Dodson on behalf of lumber magnate Herman Baggerly.
Perry confronted Emily and gave the letters to E.B. During the funeral, Sister Alice began her sermon on the Beatitudes.
While Perry regretted that she was unable to see her son buried, E.B. was delighted as it helped Matthew’s case.
