Max and Miranda search for a missing birdwatcher
Max Winter: If I had to choose the kind of birds Carmen and I were, I'd say... eagles. Proud, glamorous... How would you see us?
Miranda Blake: What, us?
Max Winter: Yeah.
Miranda Blake: I don't know. A pair of geese? They... they partner for life. They, err... prefer a nice cosy existence.
A British birdwatcher has gone missing and his diabetes makes finding him urgent. Max and Miranda search a nature reserve for him and uncover clues that point to a wildlife-smuggling ring having kidnapped him. A break-in at the man's home leads them to the gang.
Tropes
- Artistic Licence Medicine: What Miranda does to save the diabetic man might actually have killed him in reality.
- Bilingual Bonus; In the room in the quarry where the missing birdwatcher is caged, a sign reads ‘el tiempo se agota’ or ‘time is running out’, which is a nod to his grave medical condition.
- Eco-Terrorist: One of the nature reserve staff turns out to be up to no good.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Some napkin rings in a café help Miranda figure out what’s really been going on.
- Fanservice: Max wears his tuxedo again.
- Genius Ditz: Luisa Rosa drops items and interrupts the investigation of the break-in, although she ends up finding an important clue because of her clumsiness.
- Race Against the Clock: The clock is ticking for the missing diabetic.
