The police are on the scene and Strike's (Tom Burke) friend sends him a photo of the girl which could be the one who was murdered. They need to ask Billy (Joseph Quinn).
Having visited Chiswell's (Robert Glenister) home and Strike asking to see Freddie's medal which he says was rubbish since no one liked him, Robin (Holliday Grainger) uses the pretext of the loo once again to snoop into the same room and finds some photos from Freddie's 18th birthday party days. One with a woman in a green dress with 'whore' written on her back. They later find out that Rhiannon was good enough for the fencing team whereas Freddie's girlfriend wasn't. Rhiannon in the green dress was the one in the photo and later hanged herself. She was Winn's (Robert Pugh) daughter.
The Core group are having a party before the building is demolished for the development and Strike finds out that Billy maybe here since Jimmy has a room there but he'll have to move him soon. So Strike manages to get in there as they're having a party and buys a mask for £10 from one of the protesters commenting on how they think capitalism is bad, sarcastically! He finds Billy and he tells him that's not the girl he saw. Billy can't keep doing this anymore and finds his chance to escape when Jimmy (Nick Blood) shows up. Pushing Strike on the stairs and causing him further injury to his leg. He asks Lorelei (Natalie Gumed) if he can stay with her to heal. As Robin turns up to retrieve the bugs she's planted she's caught by Winn's assistant, Malik (Danny Ashok) who threatens her when she says she's borrowing a stapler and she uses the excuse of knowing six people who can fire him. Whilst she's at the intern office she overhears an answerphone message saying "they say they piss themselves when they die".
As Lorelei's at the office picking up his things. Robin shows up and she tells him about the photos and thinking doctor Elspeth Curtis-Lacey (Ruth Lass) involved with the charity could have info on Winn.
Robin finds out that Winn was stealing money from the charity fund and Chiswell can use this to reverse blackmail him into stopping Winn hounding him. So they go to the charity do and Robin picks a dress to wear and wears that green one. The one she wore when she went undercover in the fashion store series 1 and Strike couldn't keep his eyes off her. God good man a dress isn't everything! Ha. Strike getting beaten up by Jimmy and his pals when he arrives at the do. He also gets to see his uni love, Charlotte (Natasha O'Keeffe) again who's having twins. She wants to share a cab with him but he refuses, good for him! As we get another flashback to him giving her the bracelet she still wears. Robin watching them leave together.
Talking of flashbacks Strike has one to calling Robin and being told that she's gone on the honeymoon after all. Lorelei tells Strike she loves him, leaving him with a dilemma. Yeah break up with her.) Talk about making this messy. Meanwhile smarmy Matt (Kerr Logan) tries to get it on with Robin who says she's not in the mood and tears her dress. Strike gets a call from Billy who tells him he can't live with this any longer and he finds him stabbed. As Robin turns up at Chiswell's house for their meeting Chiswell is dead with plastic wrapped around his head.
The girl in the picture was Suki but not the dead one. So maybe she's still alive and know what's happening. Found this series rather tedious to be honest with those whistful, lustful looks passing between them, oh why do we have to get this attraction bit in at all. They do that with everything and spoil the show. Can't they just work together without falling for each other. That was one reason loathsome Matt was added, but then Lorelei too and Charlotte all in the one ep. Ugh Strike was only looking for a good time and his 'they were good together' was a bit cruel considering she was there for him but he doesn't want her. Which we know of course! What's so great about Robin though I have to ask. She's just ordinary and his colleague.
