Elsewhere in the episode, Martha's mother Anne discovered a chilling revelation about her new boyfriend "Richard" after planning to surprise him at an art gallery event - a twist which won't come as a surprise to suspicious viewers.
After sharing a heartfelt moment with Martha about her feelings for Richard, she was horrified to learn that not only was he actually called Peter, but he was also a married man.
Anne was of course left horrified by the revelation, storming out of the gallery before shutting down a mortified "Richard" as he tried to explain himself. "Was any of it real or were you just stringing me along the whole time?," she demanded, before driving away.
Death in Paradise and its spin-off, Beyond Paradise, both air on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer.
