Elsbeth's newest episode about a basketball coach in an age-gap relationship featured several similarities to Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick's high-profile romance. During the Thursday, December 4, episode of the CBS series, Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) looked into an athletic director's murder, which thrust her onto a college campus. The prime suspect seemed to be the coach's 22-year-old girlfriend, Peyton (Lana Condor), but Elsbeth wasn't as certain. The mystery at the center of the episode quickly got overshadowed by the way Hudson and Belichick's love story inspired the show.
