Ep 4. Fatherly Love

Fatherly Love is the fourth episode of the fourth season of Law & Order: UK. In this episode, detectives Ronnie Brooks and Matt Devlin investigate the murder of a young woman. The investigation leads them to a wealthy businessman named Bob Day, who is the prime suspect in the case.

As the detectives dig deeper into the case, they discover that Bob is the father of the victim's unborn child and had been financially supporting her. However, Bob's wife is not aware of the affair and the pregnancy, and the detectives suspect that she may have played a role in the murder.

Meanwhile, Crown Prosecutor Alesha Phillips is dealing with her own personal issues as she struggles to come to terms with her father's recent death. Her grief clouds her judgement as she prepares to prosecute the case against Bob and his wife, and she is forced to confront her own feelings about fatherly love and loyalty.

As the trial begins, the tension rises as both sides present their evidence and arguments. Bob's powerful attorney attempts to discredit the detectives' investigation and portray Bob as a loving and devoted father who would never harm his mistress or their unborn child. Alesha, on the other hand, struggles to remain impartial as she grapples with her grief and her own beliefs about the nature of fatherly love.

As the trial reaches its climax, the truth about the murder is finally revealed, and the consequences of all the characters' actions come to light. Fatherly Love is a thought-provoking and emotional episode that explores the complex relationships between fathers and children, as well as the often devastating consequences of secrets and lies.
