What Happens in Episode 4: The “Bad Blood” Story
The official synopsis for “Bad Blood” sets up a complex case for Eliza. Charlie Phelps, who is now the Detective Inspector at the City of London Police, hires Eliza for a personal job. He wants her to investigate a case involving his uncle, Dylan Cooper.
However, Eliza quickly learns that Scotland Yard is also investigating Cooper for crimes committed in their jurisdiction. This situation leaves Eliza trapped in the middle of two competing police investigations.
