Summary
A young couple on a romantic night in the wetlands are bashed to death with a rock. A similar murder happened the previous year but remained unsolved. With a shortage of clues, Moser enlists the help of Elizabeth Böhm from Juvenile Crime. The two spend the weekend in the wetlands with Rex watching from the bushes. Will they become the next victims?

The good
I really like Sabine Petzl as Elizabeth Böhm. She and Moser have really good chemistry. It's very amusing to see her and Moser roughing it in their sleeping bags while Stocki frets back in the office. Poor Rex gets jealous again.

The bad
This episode was given an M rating in Australia. I don't know what that means for anywhere else but I suspect it was mostly for the nudity in this episode. Said nudity also extends to Moser and Böhm. Maybe I should put this with the good?
