Outline

In the season finale John, still recovering from his recent gunshot wound, and Eva investigate the death of a drowned woman. The death might be related to a string of robberies of wealthy men linked to a dating service. The case causes John to flashback to his life in 1927 when, as a grifter, he stole jewellery from his lover. Upset over still being apparently immortal, John breaks it off with Sara Dillane.
