In the teaser for next week\u2019s episode, Marlon\u2019s sister Jocelyn receives a letter informing her that she\u2019s been offered a scholarship at a prestigious school in Kingston, Jamaica, which is cause for celebration indeed.<\/p>\n
But that development leaves Marlon with a big decision to make.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to do good by Jocelyn, but I don\u2019t want to not be a police officer,\u201d he says to Naomi, acknowledging the fact that staying in Saint Marie would mean being separated from his younger sibling.<\/p>\n
But if he does choose to up sticks, that would require him to leave both his job and his friends behind \u2013 a particularly tough choice given how key both have been in his transformation from petty thief to a valued member of the Honor\u00e9 police department.<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s difficult for him, especially when it could affect his career, a career that\u2019s been turned into his life almost in the last couple of years,\u201d said Tahj Miles<\/a>\u00a0of his character\u2019s arc in season 13.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just that his decisions affect him, his decisions are also going to affect the people that are close to him. So <\/span>he\u2019s got no choice but to consider other people\u2019s opinions and feelings.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Will Marlon stay? Or will he go \u2013 and possibly join a new force in another part of the Caribbean?<\/p>\n Commissioner Selwyn Patterson\u2019s time on the show was also cast into doubt when he was shot in the opening episode<\/a> of the current season.<\/p>\n Thankfully, he survived his ordeal, much to the relief of the show\u2019s long-standing fans, but his near-death experience did force him to \u201ccheck himself\u201d, according to Ginny Holder<\/a>, who plays Darlene.<\/p>\n \u201cIt pushes quite a few buttons for him, as things like that do. You have to check yourself. What does life mean, really? The things that we take on, do we need to? You put things into perspective, and that\u2019s what Selwyn has to do.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00c9lizabeth Bourgine, who plays Catherine, echoed that: \u201cCatherine is in Paris and when she comes back she has to deal with this, with Selwyn. And they have to face, both of them, what they are living for and what they\u2019ve been through in the past.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd all through season 13 they will both have to face their pasts and the people they\u2019ve met and their friends, and what they want to do with their lives.\u201d<\/p> Death in Paradise airs on Sundays on BBC One at 9pm.
