Return to Paradise on ABC and ABC iview S1E4 – While staging a logging protest, charismatic activist Byron Jones (Harry Greenwood) is found dead, chained to a group of protestors around an excavator in a remote logging coupe.
His brother Henry (Hugo Johnstone Burt), husband Ken (Arka Das) and rusted-on greenie Maggie (Deborah Kennedy) are also firmly chained to Byron, out of each other’s eyesight – and they saw no one kill Byron.
All signs point to an intruder arriving under the cover of darkness, but the security footage doesn’t capture anyone entering. Including prime suspect Fiona Kolios (Maia Thomas), the Operations Manager of Sunshine Timber.
Byron’s death is not the only mystery Mackenzie has to solve. Ex-fiancé Glenn has asked Mackenzie to return his family heirloom engagement ring so he can propose to Daisy. Mackenzie’s able to crack any case… except this one. She’ll need the help of Reggie, and her less conventional methods to find it. But when she does, she’s faced with another obstacle – actually giving it back. Give Mackenzie a murder any day, it’s feelings that rattle her.
And Colin’s starting to adopt some of Mackenzie’s obsessive investigative style when he dives into solving a word puzzle that may, or may not, be the break in the case that solves the whole thing.
