Annika is a crime drama television series that focuses on the life and work of detective Annika Strandhed, played by Nicola Walker. The show follows the daily routine of the detective who has an analytical mind and a fondness for solving crimes. The series is set in Glasgow, Scotland, and showcases the former marine biologist who has shifted her career path to investigate crimes.

In Episode 4, Annika is called in to investigate the murder of a renowned cellist. The victim is a well-known figure in the music industry and played with the Glasgow Symphony Orchestra. Annika is quick to identify the victim's body, and they start up on the investigation with her team.

One of the primary suspects in the case is the victim's husband, a famous violinist who also works at the Glasgow Symphony Orchestra. Annika's team questions him, but he seems to have a strong alibi, and all the evidence points to a different perpetrator.

The investigation leads Annika and her team to a young composer who used to play in the cello quartet with the victim. The composer had previously performed with the victim and demanded the first-chair seat, which resulted in an argument between the two. Evidence-like emails and text messages were found on the composer’s phone that indicated their hostility towards the victim.

During the investigation, an unforeseen event takes place. The killer strikes again, and the victim is one of Annika's own team members, DI Torben Legard. The team is shattered and grief-stricken, and the investigation becomes personal for Annika. The team's morale is down, and they no longer trust their instincts.

With the death of one of her own team members, Annika takes it upon herself to solve the case. She evaluates every angle and comes across evidence that proves that the composer was working with the husband, and they had a plan to murder the cellist. They had previously killed a witness who had caught them in the act.

Annika clings onto one of the clues to lead her to the killers. She examines the sheet music the composer created, and with her ear for music, she identifies a mistake in the musical notes that helped her solve the case. She finds new evidence to support her theory and presents it to the team.

The team considers the theory and decides to raid the composer's apartment, where they find the husband and the composer in possession of the murder weapon. They are arrested and taken into custody.

In the end, with the case solved, Annika beams with pride that her team was able to bring justice to the victims' families. The last few moments of the episode focus on Annika heading home, listening to music, and having dinner with her family.

Overall, Annika's Season 1 Episode 4 offers a lot of insight into the daily routine of a detective while keeping the viewers engaged with the interesting plotline. The storyline demonstrates just how much there is to investigate in a murder case, and how one clue can lead to solving it. The show highlights the personal side of Annika's life. The character who is usually tough and analytical portrays a softer and more endearing side. The episode's pace keeps the viewers intrigued towards the end, and the ending ties the storylines up nicely.
