'Unforgotten' Reveals Season 5 is "The Case of Precious Falade"

Now that the Season 5 Unforgotten premiere determined the deceased's body was stuffed up a chimney recently enough for government funding, the second episode starts with a meeting in DCI Jess James' office. It will surprise no one that this, too, is deliberately staged to be the complete opposite of Cassie's usual MO of casually standing in the middle of the office asking for reports and popping the critical points on the community whiteboard. Instead, the group is uncomfortably crammed in James' office, sitting in front of her desk like naughty children called to the headmaster's office, arranged like they're posing for a staff picture while Sunny stares daggers at the new boss.

Sunny: When you're actually in the office, I'll make sure they bring you stuff first.

Honestly, it's unfair that Sunny is trying to burn James to the ground with his mind, and Fran is rolling her eyes. It's only the woman's second day, and let's be honest, did you know which brunette DC Willetts was before this moment? (You wouldn't be blamed for not knowing; she was in Season 1 and then left, only to return in Season 4.) And let's not forget her impending divorce problem, which one of her sons already picked up on even before Dad came home with plans to move out and Jess' mother move in. (Yes, "one of;" there are actually two, and grammar school-aged twins at that.)
