Bel is back at The Hour with gruff new head of news Randall Brown, a man with whom Lix clearly has history, replacing the jailed Clarence. Hector is still neglecting Marnie to frequent a Soho club which, though under police observation, fronts sex parties and where he picks up American actress Kiki Delaine, who is later badly beaten outside her home. (imdb)

Whilst Marnie gets a job as a television chef and is considered an ideal housewife, Hector is arrested for beating up Kiki. With nobody else anxious to help him Bel does some sleuthing at the El Paradis club and finds that Kiki poses for nude photos and suspects that perhaps she was assaulted by a jealous boyfriend. (imdb)

Freddie takes Camille to El Paradis but Kiki is not there, having cleared out her flat. Some nights later he returns alone and, although he is ejected, he spots Kiki and follows her home to an opulent flat in Mayfair. (imdb)

Lix and Randall get a letter from France telling them their 19-year-old daughter, Sofia, is alive. Camille walks out on Freddie, claiming that he prefers his job and Bel to her, but Bel goes on a date with Bill. (imdb)

With Marnie enjoying her own cookery programme Hector agrees to move to ITV for a larger salary, partly as a sop to Manie as he is infertile. Lix and Randall visit the French embassy but there is no news of their daughter. (imdb)

The club is raided and Cilenti is arrested for Rosa Maria's murder, but he is soon released on bail. The tabloids name Hector as being caught in the raid and mention his alleged attack on Kiki, failing to mention he had an alibi and was not charged. (imdb)
