The CBI are called in when two girls go missing in remote woodland; Jane quickly realises the local police hadn't thought to look under the girls' car. When they do they discover the body of one of the girls. The police suspect that the two girls must have had an argument leading to the missing one killing her friend
when she turns up covered in blood, clutching a knife and claiming to remember nothing they are certain. Jane thinks otherwise and starts working to help her recover her memories.
This was another enjoyable episode; once again providing a perfect blend of mystery and humour. There are a few clichés; notably the local police who slow to discover the body, quick to blame the 'bad girl' and not too happy about another agency leading the investigation especially some of Jane's actions. The ending also plays with clichés but this is in a fun, rather nodding way. While not overly grisly the flashback scenes where we learn what really happened are mildly disturbing. As always Simon Baker dominates as our protagonist but there are also fine performances from the rest of the cast.
