The following contains spoilers from Death in Paradise Series 14, Episode 4, now streaming on BritBox. It also contains discussion of sexual assault.

Death in Paradise Series 14, Episode 4 finally cracks Mervin Wilson's grumpy exterior -- just a little bit. The British television hit dives into the idea of family again, particularly the relationships between parents and children. This, of course, provides a convenient springboard for Saint Marie's newest Detective Inspector to reflect on what happened to his mom. It's an episode that pulls at the heartstrings, while it might also be a turning point for Mervin.

Episode 4 involves the poisoning of four people at a rum distillery, just before owner Patrick Ambrose can sign the place over to its new owner. While everyone else survives, Patrick dies from ingesting methanol. It's up to Mervin and the team to figure out who was targeting him, but in doing so, they pull out all of his dirty laundry.
