The final episode of the long-running British mystery’s milestone 25th season sends DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) back to school. The reason: A strict headmaster has been brutally murdered during a PTA meeting. (And you thought yours got heated!) To solve the case, the detectives will have to figure out which of the school’s many scandals led to murder.
