However, when the group bump into Bath Eagles Rugby Club's new signing Dominique Aubert (Tomos Gwynfryn) and attend a party at the rugby club chairman Jimmy's (John Thomson) home with Dominique's agent Deborah (Natalie Gumede), the night ends in disaster as a party guest is found dead near a railway tunnel.
The episode also guest stars Liar's Shelley Conn, Two Doors Down's Joy McAvoy, Maya Coates and Kat Ronney, with James Murray (Chief Superintendent Houseman) and Jack Riddiford (DC Darren Craig) reprising their roles from the first series.
