* AngerBornOfWorry: The crux of the conflict between Phryne and Jack. He's unusually avoidant with her, snaps at her about her recklessness, and doesn't back her up when she's defending women's right to drive to an especially PoliticallyIncorrectVillain of the week. Later we discover that he thought she was the car crash victim at the top of the episode and found the thought of losing her "unbearable."

When Gertrude "Gerty" Haynes is found dead behind the wheel of her racing car, Jack initially believes that the death was accidental. This suggestion is rejected by Phryne and Gertrude's brother Claude, a fellow racer. Their belief that there is some other explanation for Gerty's death is later supported by postmortem results which indicate that she was strangled. Phryne and Dot immerse themselves in the world of race car driving to uncover the truth.
