Is there a trailer for Miss Scarlet Season 5?
Yes, and Eliza has her work cut out for her when her new colleague comes to town. Blake “doesn’t use private detectives,” it’s said in the trailer, but Eliza is determined to change this. “Well, I’ll see what I can do,” she declares. In another moment, Blake questions Eliza’s moves, but she won’t let him stop her work even if his complete resistance to employ her services is infuriating.

“You know where I am if you need me,” she offers him, and Blake replies, “I do, and I won’t.” Eliza rolls her eyes in exasperation.
