In The Partnership, the penultimate episode of season one, Sonia asks Eddie to investigate when she thinks her friend Jenny Kelson is being intimidated but as usual there is far more to the story than Eddie at first realises. Digging deeper he realises that Jenny’s artist boyfriend Brian Kelson maybe the key link in a property robbery scheme.

A quiet, under stated episode with Eddie realises that not everything has an answer. Watch out for a cameo from a young Kevin Whately playing a supposedly well known soccer player.
