This is no way to get on the nice list. Christmas becomes a deadly time of year in Elsbeth Season 2 when Vanessa Bayer guest stars as a holiday-season fanatic who's wronged by her husband. After previously announcing Bayer and Dan Bucatinsky's casting, TV Insider can exclusively reveal the first photos from the Elsbeth Christmas episode -- aptly titled, "Gold, Frankincense, and Murder" -- as well the air date and episode description.
The Elsbeth Christmas episode will air on Thursday, December 5 at 10/9c on CBS. As previously reported, Bayer plays Deedee, who puts on the act of the doting, supportive, crazy-for-Christmas wife so that she and her husband, Dick, can keep selling their Christmas goods and keep the image of holiday cheer going. But behind the scenes, Deedee is tired of playing a supporting role in her own marriage. When Dick sidelines her request for a divorce, Deedee takes matters into her own hands. No one is going to stand in the way of Deedee and the life she wants for herself. Not her husband, or the holiday season.
