Lewis: Life Born of Fire

This is the episode where Lewis learns about conflict of interest and why suspects or friends of a victim should not take part in a police investigation.

DS Hathaway knows the suicide victim, lies to Lewis and almost gets written out of the series.

Before the credits roll Hathaway has time to buy a magazine and a chocolate bar to confirm his sexuality, which was not that clear after his choice of partner during the episode.

Rachael Stirling, daughter of Diana Rigg, stars.
