This just gets better and better!  Mark is arrested but not charged, and not with murder but with obstruction, until his mistress, Becca the hotelier, admits to their affair.  Mark may not be guilty of murder, but Danny's best friend Tom, Ellie's son, admits that Mark hit Danny at least twice.  Beth is keeping secrets, too, including a pregnancy she's only told the local minister about.  Meanwhile, Alec gets a visit from his concerned doctor.  And there are layers upon layers, with the final shot of a burning boat ricocheting off at least two plotlines.

I didn't notice any new recurring cast, but Euros Lyn is the new director and matches Strong with visually arresting imagery, including of course that gorgeous coast, and, no pun intended, strong performances all round.
