Get Off Your High Horse
After arresting Anna Jewell's killer, Maddie and the player helped Chief Wright get ideas for a gift to give Bernadine Rochester, who he was courting. Diego recommended that he got her a pair of expensive earrings to please her.

Talk of the Town
Bernadine became a suspect after Maddie and the player found the victim's notes detailing her movements. She claimed that she had never heard of the victim. When told that the victim was following her, she explained that journalists were bound to take an interest in her, but she could have done without them following her everywhere. She then excused herself to attend a luncheon. She later complained to Chief Wright about Maddie and the player treating her as a suspect.

Bernadine was spoken to again about an article draft about the victim's romantic exploits with multiple men. She assured them that the article was false, saying that the victim had contacted her for an interview to illustrate her many qualities. However, he then told her he intended to publish an article saying she had been consorting with multiple men from her golf club, leading her to almost pour acid on his car.

Bernadine was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Hector Harvey for Joseph's murder.
