Carson receives an unsolicited Turkish prayer rug with a secret message woven into the design, asking him to bring a mannequin. Carson’s client Farouk had a Turkish rug shop in town that had a mannequin in the window, so it seems related, and Nancy and her friends set off to find Farouk and the mannequin. Nancy also saves a toddler from drowning in a river, and Bess remains on brand as a perfume enthusiast. Togo gets to battle with an intruder. There’s a romantic Nancy/Ned picnic! No skulls, though, so at least there’s that.
