    The Sussex Basketball Invitations are underway and like the games before
    the Sussex Hornets simply can't win a game, mostly because of more or
    less little incidents. When such an 'incident' causes Bo to injure his
    anckle Shirley gets on the case. And finds clues supporting the idea the
    team is not jinxed but rather sabotaged. But who? Ashley, the 'team's
    groupie' could be behind it to get Kyle who mysteriously is the one
    always spared. Or is it Kyle himself, to get an easy way out of the
    team (Ms. Stratmann threatened to give up the school's basketball team
    if it can't win) without angering his demanding mother. But this is no
    option either when he quits the team anyway without the 'safety net' ...

045 [4.06-99] The Case of the Skeleton in the Closet / ... des Skelettes im Wald

    Walking with Watson, Shirley discovers a skeleton on a field. Reporting
    it, she gets suspicious when the coroner Dr. Lamb denies the presence of
    a ring on the skeleton hand although she clearly knows there was one.
    Trying to solve this puzzle she gets more and more the feeling that
    Dr. Lamb - who's promisingly running for mayor - is hiding something
    since she too openly tries to get her away from the case. Upon
    discovering that she intentionally misidentified the skeleton there's
    no hold for Shirley (then again, was there ever ?). Identifying the
    skeleton herself she gets into a case of a murder which never was and
    a big cover-up of an error which led to a wrong conviction.

    'Lady Genevieve' Ms. Stratmann, at least she thinks it was him. So he
    finds himself arrested - and Shirley a new case. Although it apparently

    Shirley's final case ... with Bo, who announces he will return to the
    Ukraine to finish school there. And it's a reluctant case since Shirley
    - or more precisely Bo - is forced into it. It's a Dragon game, with Bo
    as kind of a lab rat: after a visit at the movies he finds a statue with
    an 'order' attached; if he doesn't follow he'll get 'punished'. And
    indeed when he dismisses this as a joke his bike suddenly was declared
    stolen. So he follows the order to search a key. When he then refuses to
    continue, his father is arrested. So there's nothing else than to
    continue, with Shirley, to search for objects he's ordered to ...
