A retired professor with a knack for snooping gets a new lease on life when a private investigator recruits him to go undercover and crack a case.<\/p>\n

The song is featured in episode #207. The moment centers on Mona Margadoff (Steenburgen), the music professor. In this episode, she performs \u201cGoodbye Baby\u201d on-screen – presented as her old hit from her fictional band Lavender Highway.<\/p>\n

Notes Steenburgen: \u201cWe had fun channeling 1970\u2019s bands as we created this song which was supposed to be my hit as a young singer in a band called Lavender Highway.  Now sung  \u201850 years later\u2019 by me (Mona Margadoff).”<\/p>\n

Adds David Schwartz: \u201cThe song came together really naturally. We were all in the room writing together, and there was an easy creative flow from the start. Everyone brought something different to the process, and it made the whole experience feel collaborative and genuine.\u201d<\/p>\n
