Following the tragic death of Officer Benjamin Brice in Death in Paradise’s season 14 premiere, the Honoré Police Department remained short on numbers.
And with the murder of a game show contestant to solve in tonight’s episode (Friday 7th February), they needed as many hands on deck as possible to close the case.
After Mervin flagged the team’s concerns to Selwyn, the commissioner had a candidate in mind: Sebastian Rose.
He completed the training scheme before Officer Brice, but had yet to find a placement and was now spending his days handing out flyers on the beach wearing a pineapple outfit.
“He wasn’t my first choice, but I think there’s potential there,” he said. “It just needs teasing out a bit.”
And with that, Sebastian Rose was given his uniform and is now part of the team – well, on a “provisional basis”, insisted Mervin, who was unimpressed by the new arrival.
But like Selwyn, we have high hopes that he’ll make a name for himself for all of the right reasons.
