Listen for: Riley's jealousy over Sydney Monahan's visit, and the mounting misunderstanding over the inscribed picture in Sydney's coat pocket.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
