Following the exit of Chief Superintendent Charlie Woods (now based in Dartmouth), who had been the Shipton Abbott police team's sole ally at the top, they are once again vulnerable, as Humphrey swiftly learns.
"He's put in such a difficult situation because Humphrey has so much heart, and he's so passionate about his job and about his team," Zahra Ahmadi told Radio Times.
"Perhaps that's also to do with the place he's at with Martha and his relationship, but he just sits really well in the pocket of his life where he's at in this present moment. And to have that compromised in the way that it is is really, really tough for him."
"I think everyone's so important, and everyone plays their part. And if you remove just one person, you really feel it," she said. "That's often how I talk about a cast and a crew."

The conversation turned to the role of community policing, which is "done with heart" in a way larger operations simply can't, Ahmadi added.
Their relationships also extend beyond the professional, explained Ahmadi, which is what makes Mr Smith's directive doubly painful – and is another blow to their work.
“And Humphrey knows, as well as it being a tug at his heart strings to have to get rid of someone that he really cares about and values professionally, he also knows how that will impact the policing they're able to do, which is also what he really cares about."
"Oh my God. You know what, if Esther was given that decision to make, I think first and foremost, she'd really fight it, because she'd be very, very against it," he said. "She's been at Shipton Abbott since she was in Kelby's position, she lives and breathes it.
"And she has fully embraced Humphrey and welcomed him into the mix. She doesn't see him as a kind of random outsider. Now he is at the centre of the team. So she'd fight it, fight it, fight it."

"Actually, I don't know who she would–I mean, I wish someone asked me this question when we were filming, because then I would have had a bit more empathy for Humphrey at the time, because it is a really, really tough one."
"And you know as well, let's be slightly political for a moment, we all hear what people say. As a woman, as you get older in society, you become slightly more invisible, people care about you less, people appear to value you less," she said.
Perhaps, suggests Ahmadi, her character would sacrifice herself.
"The team needs Humphrey, without a shadow of a doubt. And Kelby and Margo mean so much to her, she sees the work they do. And I think she probably would feel that they've got their lead officer, and he would have a sidekick in Kelby and Margo there, so that probably they could manage to without her."
Beyond Paradise season 4 airs on BBC One and iPlayer on Fridays at 8pm.
