The Green Green Grass

Elgin realises a potential cash‑making scheme after meeting a pair of psychic detectives in the local pub, spotting a chance to profit from their abilities. Meanwhile, Boycie and Marlene take Tyler to his debut performance with the band Puddle of Agony.

The Departed is a television programme presented in the format of an episode. It follows the familiar style of the series, delivering a self‑contained story that fits within the broader framework of the show. The episode runs its course with a focus on a handful of characters and the situations they find themselves in. In this particular outing, Elgin comes across a potential cash‑making scheme after he bumps into two psychic detectives while having a drink at the local pub. The chance meeting makes him aware of a possible way to turn the encounter into something financially rewarding, prompting him to consider how he might capitalise on the odd‑ball detectives’ abilities. At the same time, Boycie and Marlene join Tyler for his inaugural performance with the band Puddle of Agony. The couple act as his support crew, escorting him to the venue and sharing in the excitement of his first gig. Their presence underscores the importance of family and friends in helping Tyler take the stage for the first time. By running these two storylines side by side, the episode contrasts Elgin’s entrepreneurial ambition with the more personal milestone of Tyler’s debut. Both threads unfold within the same episode, giving viewers a glimpse of the characters’ differing priorities and the ways they intersect over the course of a single night.
