What to expect from Grace tonight?

The second episode of the season is titled: Dead At First Sight. The preview, via Radio Times, reads: “When a man is found dead in his hotel, the scene reads like a crime of passion - the room was paid for in cash and booked in the name Travis Simmons.

“Travis has no ID and no bank cards - when Grace discovers a burner phone, he suspects that his victim was meeting someone in secret. When things don't quite add up and Grace realises that something in this case isn't what it seems, the team is thrown into a world where a tangled web of mistaken identity leads to a painful secret.”
