Ep 17. The Night Guest - Part 1

Detective Anna season 1 episode 17, titled "The Night Guest - Part 1," begins with Anna and her team investigating a series of home invasions that have been occurring in a wealthy neighborhood. The burglars break in at night while the homeowners are sleeping and steal valuable items like jewelry, electronics, and cash.

As Anna and her team delve deeper into the case, they discover that the burglaries are not random and that the culprit may be someone who is familiar with the victims. One particular burglary catches their attention because the victim, a wealthy businessman, claims that he saw a shadowy figure standing at the foot of his bed just before the robbery.

Anna's team gathers evidence and begins interviewing suspects, including the victims themselves, their family members, and their employees. As they dig deeper, they uncover hidden motives and secrets that may have led to the burglaries.

Meanwhile, Anna is dealing with personal issues in her own life. She is struggling to balance her demanding job with her responsibilities as a single mother to her young daughter. Her ex-husband, who is also a police detective, has been pressuring her to work out a custody agreement that would give him more time with their daughter.

As the investigation progresses, Anna realizes that the burglars are becoming more brazen and violent. In one case, they break into a home while the family is still awake and threaten them with a knife. Anna fears that if they don't catch the burglars soon, someone could get seriously hurt.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Anna and her team are hot on the trail of a suspect. They piece together clues and track the suspect to a remote cabin in the woods. However, when they arrive, they find the cabin empty and the suspect gone. Anna is left wondering if they missed their chance to catch the burglars or if they are one step closer to solving the case.
