This week, in Death in Paradise<\/strong><\/em>; episode 4 of season 14 shows that a spoon, or syringe, full of methanol makes the poison go down. Although in this case it is a soft drink, aka tin of sugary fizzy, that hides the taste and delivers the fatal dose. <\/p>\n Before we go into the obvious borrowing of this episode, let us speak of Seb. That quick learner who actually solves the case with the aid of his \u201cgoing overboard\u201d attitude. As he tells Darlene, he will be the PO who does everything<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s talk borrowing. As mentioned in the trivia section of the IMDb page: \u201cThe plot of this episode is almost identical to the murder Mervin committed as Andre Morgan in\u00a0Stab in the Dark (2015)<\/a>. The owner of a rum distillery is murdered to stop him selling the business, because a murder victim, believed to have run away, is actually buried inside.\u201d<\/p>\n Oops.<\/p>\n Methanol may not have been the culprit, or device, in that particular Death in Paradise but\u2026<\/p>\n A rum distillery is being sold off. At the celebratory signing, everyone gets a dose of methanol and only one of them dies. The owner of the distillery. On the comedic side of things, Mervin gets air con and a satellite dish. Much to the consternation of DSI Thompson and the locals. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, back at the station, Seb declares that he is turning over a new leaf and becoming the police officer that everyone will want on any case. <\/p>\n Don Gilet<\/a>\u00a0is DI Mervin Wilson.<\/p>\n Don Warrington<\/a>\u00a0is Commissioner Selwyn Patterson.<\/p>\n Elizabeth Bourgine<\/a>\u00a0is Catherine Bordey.<\/p>\n Shantol Jackson<\/a>\u00a0is DSI Naomi Thomas.<\/p>\n Ginny Holder<\/a>\u00a0is Officer Darlene Curtis.<\/p>\n Shaquille Ali-Yebuah<\/a>\u00a0is Officer Sebastian \u201cSeb\u201d Rose.<\/p>\n Ansu Kabia<\/a> is Patrick Ambrose.<\/p>\n Madeline Appiah<\/a> is Cora Ambrose.<\/p>\n Tienne Simon<\/a> is Antony Dulice.<\/p>\nThe story<\/h4>\n
