The Doyle in Black

A mysterious man in black starts appearing in places at the same time as members of the Doyle family. Of course, whenever this mysterious man in black is approached he manages to disappear and evade capture. Nonetheless, the man in black tends not to leave without at least leaving some sort of clue to his true identity.

Aside from a few dalliances with attractive members of the opposite sex, Jake is glued to this case from day one. He really wants to know who it is that appears to be following them.

Eventually Rose is able intuit the location of the man in black. The Doyles then all head down to the rooming house while Mal heads in to confront the gentleman in black.

After a few minutes of anxious waiting Mal walks out of the house with his arm around the shoulder of the man in black. As Mal later explains, apparently this guy is his illegitimate half-brother from an affair Mal's father had. It is also explained that the man in black was only following the Doyles around to try to think of a way to introduce himself to his long-lost family, he didn't realize that he was also freaking them out with his actions.

Des is particularly pleased to learn that Tinny has a half-cousin who isn't nearly as prudish as Tinny. Will this be the end of Des's infatuation with Tinny?
