Retired actor Robert Garwood is fatally shot at the beach near home, the only 'witness' allegedly being his blind actress wife Olivia Reeves, who holds the purse strings. The marriage was falling apart, she claims he became cruel as his acting talent never led to a breakthrough. Archie, the now adult son 'Bob' never took in interest in, recently arrived to attempt getting close. The commissioner already bought a ticket for Neville's return to Manchester, but he starts to doubt if he wants to leave his new life behind, despite continuing health issues. Meanwhile J.P. sweats blood without tears taking the sergeant's exam, written and supervised by the commissioner, who concludes he only lacks confidence. Neville finds Olivia's confession incorrect and works out what happened, fatally mixing plots.
