- Could Naomi be Marlon’s new mentor?
DI Neville Parker (Ralf Little) debated his emotions for DS Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert), who had taken a break from detective work to relax.
Meanwhile, Neville’s trip home was put on hold when they questioned business tycoon Philip Carlton’s (Anthony Calf) suicide after a Christmas card claimed he was murdered. Officer Dwayne Myers (Danny John-Jules) has returned to Saint Marie, putting his retirement on hold to assist the squad.
Be warned: from here on out, we’ll be delving into significant spoilers as we unpack how the episode sets up Death in Paradise’s 11th season.
The Christmas special finale of Death in Paradise is explained:
Dwayne recalled an incident in which he had detained Trainee Officer Marlon Pryce (Tahj Miles), and the two fought.
When Dwayne revealed his father’s sickness, they ultimately warmed up to one other. Dwayne afterward congratulated Marlon for his fine police job, and Marlon pushed him to go to London to be with him.
The mystery card’s receiver arrived on the island in Death in Paradise, much to Neville and the Commissioner (Don Warrington). Colin Babcock (Mathew Baynton) was completely unaware of his connection to the murder case, which jeopardized him.
The truth was murky, as it usually was, and Philips’ ex-wife Natasha Carlton (Juliet Stevenson) was at the center of it all.
Andrew and Natasha fell in love when they met Philip Carlton in their teens. Natasha seduced and murdered him for the pair to inherit his fortune. They buried him beneath the same bench where Andrew shot himself decades later, and Natasha relocated Andrew’s body to conceal suspicion.
In a heartwarming twist in Death in Paradise, they discovered Colin to be the actual Philip’s genuine son and heir, inheriting his real estate and business. In the season 10 finale, Neville revealed the outcome of his last-minute dash to see Florence to Mayor Catherine Bordey (Elizabeth Bourgine).
What role does the Christmas special have in Season 11?
On Friday, January 7, Death in Paradise will return to our screens, and the holiday special has given us much to look forward to. Although it took a while for Commissioner Patterson to warm up to Neville, the two seemed to get along swimmingly when working on the new investigation. This should make Neville’s life easier in the coming season.
Although Dwayne has returned to Saint Marie, his return has reawakened our need for more dramatic returns. Tim Key, the executive producer of the upcoming season, reportedly promised “some tremendous surprises,” and we know he hasn’t ruled out further cameos.
Could we see more familiar faces, such as Kris Marshall as Humphrey Goodman, after Richard Poole (Ben Miller) and Camille Bordey (Sara Martins) made brief guest appearances in Death in Paradise last season?
Following the resignation of JP Hooper in season 10, Dwayne’s departure meant that there was still a vacancy at Honoré Police towards the end of the special. The arrival of new Sergeant Naomi Thomas is first on the schedule (Shantol Jackson).
Naomi, who has transferred from a neighboring island, is regarded as gifted and eager to make an impact, despite her lack of experience compared to JP and Dwayne. As the young man adjusts to yet another change in dynamics, it remains to be seen whether Marlon and Naomi will become fast friends. Could Naomi be Marlon’s new mentor?
