With Baited Breath is the fourth episode in the Twenty-First series of the popular ITV crime drama Midsomer Murders. It was first streamed in the U.S. on 1 December 2019 on streaming services Acorn TV and Britbox, with its UK release date announced as 28 March 2021 on ITV1.
Tensions run high in the village of Solomon George when a fishing competition and extreme obstacle course are scheduled for the same weekend. With each group attempting to sabotage the other, it's not long before someone's life is on the line.
Ned Skye is preparing for his competition, the Psycho Mud Run. "So you can actually make money out of torturing people?" asks Artie Blythe. "Build it... and they will suffer," replies Ned Skye as he pounds stakes into the ground. "Oh, I thought you were happy running a paper mill," says Artie. "You're not making them plow through water as well, are you?" Artie touches a hanging electric strand. "Artie, don't!" yells Ned. "This can't be legal," says Artie.
Suddenly they hear screaming. At the end of a boat dock, a boy is trying to throw a girl into the lake. Under the water comes a grim sound. Heavy breathing. The girl and boy race to jump in the water. The boy hangs back and the girl jumps in. The boy calls to her. "Josie? Josie? Josie." Artie takes off his hat and jacket. Josie pops up to the surface laughing. Ned tells her to get out of the water. Something is coming toward her under the water. "Take my hand! Hurry! Come on!" They grab her and pull her out. "Was that what I think it was?" says Artie. "Yeah. Ahab... the monster of the lake," says Ned.
A fire service van pulls up in front of the Fisherman's Arms. Inside, owner, Izzy Silvermane says, "Welcome to The Fisherman's Arms." Inside the kitchen, Harper Kaplan greets his girlfriend, Simone Skye. "Here comes my future." After she leaves, Harper shows chef, Griffin Twigg an engagement ring. "I'm gonna propose tomorrow." "Have you asked Simone's dad yet?" says Griff.
In the lobby of the inn, Lex Bedford says to his team, "Check in, then meet me out front. Quick 5K to blow the cobwebs." DS Jamie Winter says, "Is that your van outside? Does it double as an ambulance?" Winter is going to be in the "Psycho Run" too.
Simone brings Lex to his room. He sees a sign outside the window of a large fish. "What is that?" he asks. "That's Ahab. Twenty grand to the first person to catch him. First competition we've had here in years. Surprised you didn't hear about it. The build-up's been boring me to death for weeks. Mind you, they can't catch something that doesn't exist. Enjoy your stay," says Simone and leaves. Lex makes a phone call, "I know it's been ages, but listen. I'm at Solomon Gorge. Yeah. Never mind why. You need to get here."
Cornelius Tetbury is speaking to a reporter outside. "Inevitably, there's a lot of discussion about it. But there are myths and there are truths, and Ahab is a bona fide truth. And I am gonna prove that beyond all doubt this weekend. His time is up." Griff comes up and interrupts them, "He tells all the girls about his monster."

Trials and Tribulations of Jamie Winter: Jamie gets roped into working the murder scene even though he has the weekend off as he is in the Psycho Mud Run.
He also gets false encouragement from PC Jade-Marie Pierce who makes obvious inviting comments leading to Jamie asking her out. (such as: "Imagine if we ended up working alongside each other permanently," and "We work well together.") At the end, Barnaby says, "How could you misread that? Honestly. You call yourself a detective? Don't text her now. You'll just embarrass yourself. Give that to me." They struggle over the phone and it falls in the water. Winter goes to take off his shoes to jump in. {Gurgling and growling from the water}. Barnaby says, "Steady. There's a monster lurking out there." Winter says, "You know, I think I'm due an upgrade."
