Malik's letters to the embassy said the bombing happened in 2002, but Iraq wasn't invaded by the US until 2003. ** When referring to actual events, dates are almost always changed due to the fact real people would have been involved. If a fictional situation resembles fact, people may sue.

Quotes
[Joe hands Vera a pair of plaster casts of footprints leading from the scene of a shooting.]
DCI Vera Stanhope: One's bigger than the other.
DS Joe Ashworth: Aye. Left foot's a seven, right foot's a nine.
DCI Vera Stanhope: It's a mistake.
DS Joe Ashworth: CSI pulled off five sets of footprints. Same story every time. Size seven, size nine.
DCI Vera Stanhope: OK. So the killer's wearing odd-sized boots.
DS Joe Ashworth: Or maybe there were two of them? Two intruders?
DCI Vera Stanhope: Yeah. Possible, of course. Two one-legged intruders. They won't have got far.

An excellent Plot

I've basically watched "Vera", every season ( we are getting to the Final season 14 soon). I usually don't write about specific episodes, but, this particular episode prompted me.

The writer should be commended, for a very twisty resolution to this well acted story.

The plot is this...two sisters are abducted. One of the sisters was adopted from a war torn country. She happened to be photographed for a headline making newspaper, years before, having been left family -less, due to the war.

That's about all I am giving you.

But, my major thoughts about Vera are this. The relationship between Joe and Vera happens to be one of the best Cop and Cop partnerships that I have ever watched. Also, have you ever noticed how many past co workers in Vera's squad have moved on to be extremely successful? I am so glad that Joe and Vera are back together in this amazing shows final two seasons.
