    Storyline

    Edit
    Sandra returns early from her Italian holiday to find the office in chaos and a new case waiting to be reopened: the murder of ten-year-old Jimmy Spencer at a golf club twenty years earlier. Teenaged suspect Ken Rodger, arrested for indecent exposure, killed himself in the cells after being charged with the murder, but policewoman Diane Loveless is convinced of Ken's innocence, and saliva found on Jimmy's clothes is not Ken's. For the sake of Ken's dying father and amid unwelcome press intrusion, the team take DNA samples from golf club members, revealing two skeletons in the cupboards of supposedly respectable citizens as well as the identity of Jimmy's real killer. —don @ minifie-1

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Stewart and Alice Pimley are played by real life mother and son Isla Blair and Jamie Glover. Jamie's father is actor Julian Glover.
    • Goofs
      In order to get a DNA sample, the detectives take a lock of the dead suspect's hair that his father tells them his mother cut off as a keepsake. Only the root of a hair contains the owner's DNA, so a cut lock would be useless for this purpose as any competent police detective should know.

      Det. Inst. John Cassidy: So who's your stalker?

      Gerry Standing: Oh, an ex job. Left last year' Diane Loveless.

      Det. Inst. John Cassidy: What, old 'fish bum'?

    Slower paced episode, lots of interviews
    We got some more details on the characters and watch them interact, as with all easily season episodes. The case itself isn't particularly interesting, just some pretty standard detective stuff as some stories and hypotheses are put together. Golf club is a different setting, but the characters don't particularly stand out.
