As the episode nears its conclusion, past and present collide. It appears that this case is not related to Ariadne's, until razor-sharp Poirot identifies an important connection between the deaths.

Meanwhile, Poirot pits his formidable wits against the complex, brutal murder of Professor Willoughby, the founder of the Institute of Psychiatry. The crimewriter hopes that the individuals she talks to about events many years ago will, like elephants, have long memories.

Unless Ariadne can make sense of her goddaughter's tangled family history, Desmond's plan to marry Celia may well be scuppered by snooty Mrs Burton-Cox. The Ravenscroft mystery deepens when Mrs Burton-Cox's son, talented pianist Desmond, is threatened by a mysterious figure in black. Were the deaths of General and Lady Ravenscroft the result of suicide or murder? If murder, who was the killer? Although she is usually more comfortable in the realm of fiction than fact, Ariadne must now uncover the truth about the mysterious deaths a decade ago of her goddaughter Celia Ravenscroft's parents. While Ariadne has previously put her powers of deduction to the test on various cases solved by Poirot, in 'Elephants Can Remember' the novelist is asked to solve a case of her own by the unpleasant Mrs Burton-Cox. This new episode is particularly significant as the first instalment in the final series of long-running detective drama Agatha Christie's Poirot.
