Tennyson is also in a porter disguise and working the hotel bar, picking up glasses. He spies Ned Savage and Kate Marple having an animated discussion in which Ned accuses her of drugging him and stealing his van keys. Tennyson quietly reveals himself to them, eager to find out more about Ned’s story. 

Tennyson deduces that Ned avoided being set up as a patsy but why steal his van keys? And for what? When Tennyson realises that Savage’s hotel room was next to Maguire’s, he figures that the murder weapon must have been planted in Savage’s room because Ned’s keys are missing and his DNA is all over Maguire’s room. 

Then Dupin’s voice can be heard shouting ‘There he is!’ and soon all the detectives have hurried into the room and rushed for Ned. Dupin proclaims him suspect number one. Tennyson scurries away before he is noticed. As Ned is hauled off for questioning, the rest of the detectives reveal themselves as having been other members of the hotel staff at the bar. Hotel porters… such a novel disguise. 

They’re finally reunited but can they save an innocent man? Well, they’ll have to!
