There are a handful of important things we can say ahead of Death Valley season 2 episode 5 on BBC One, but where do we start things off? Really, it may just come down to a little bit of reflection, as we do have to confront the rather shocking idea that we are almost at the end of the season already. How are there only two episodes left?

As stunning as this all may be, we can at least relish further the fact that we imagine these will be some of the most action-packed stories so far, ones that contain layers of mystery plus new twists and turns for Janie and John both. Their partnership could be put to the test and in some way, the events from one story could carry over more to what is ahead.

If you do want to learn more now, be sure to check out the full Death Valley season 2 episode 5 synopsis below:

On a hot Saturday, Janie is roped into running a rehabilitation course for rule-breaking officers at Trebach CID. An already unpleasant atmosphere goes from bad to worse when Clarke drops in to say hello to one of the attendees – his old boss Phil Holmes – and finds him dead in the men’s toilets. With enough evidence to consider the death foul play, Janie locks down the office, considering all the attendees as suspects in Phil’s murder. On Clarke’s command, John joins the team to work against the clock and solve the case.

Having been put on the course for various conduct mistakes, the group are not the most honest coppers going. Clarke’s old nemesis, an exercise-crazed PC, a high-ranking workaholic civilian officer, a mild-mannered dog handler and an up-and-coming young DS make up the suspects. Can Janie and John use their skills to suss out the culprit and gather enough evidence in time to make an arrest?

While focused on the case, Janie struggles to find time for her renewed relationship with her dad. Balancing the two men in her life – Michael and John – and solving a murder in a lockdown puts Janie through her paces. Skeletons from the past, reigniting old flames and curry on the hottest day of the year are all on the cards during this investigation. Can John and Janie bring Phil’s killer to justice? And will Michael’s continued appearances disturb John and Janie’s dynamite partnership?

in the end, the biggest thing that we can hope for is just that the show contains to allow us to have fun with the characters — but also, that the stakes do get higher than ever as we inch closer to the actual end.
