[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Miss Scarlet Season 6 Episode 1, “Secrets and Lies.”]

The Miss Scarlet Season 6 trailer teased a rift between Eliza Scarlet (Kate Phillips) and Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard), revealing that Miss Scarlet’s investigative business was getting fewer assignments from Scotland Yard. The last time we saw this pair in the Season 5 finale, they had sparked a romantic interest in each other. The trailer for the new season, as it turns out, was a misdirect. The Miss Scarlet Season 6 premiere made quick work of updating fans on the actual relationship status, and it was a steamy update.
