Annika and her father travel to see how Morgan is settling in on her work experience. Annika goes for a walk to escape her father, and discovers the body of a builder.
Good story, horrendous characters, none of them were real people, all of them were stereotypes and caricatures. I enjoyed the scenes between Annika and her father, we learned a fair bit about their relationship and his presence, we were some way towards discovering why Annika is the way she is, a shame they didn't focus more on that.
The eco warrior site owner Louise was quite something, why did she have to be characterised in a way that made her look stupid, several of my circle share such strong views, but all are well reasoned, but her constant rants about anything and everything that weren't even remotely green, too much.
Ouch, you can't complain that the show isn't representing the gay community, but the characters are becoming stereotypes, that husband was agonising, why can't gay men in shows just be average Joe public, the representation always seems to be these flamboyant, over the top stereotypes, come on it's not 1974 anymore.
There are a couple of humorous moments once again, primarily from Annika's social awkwardness.
Vomiting in a Deer park, I truly understand the image as far as this one's concerned.
5.5/10.

After last weeks absolute comic shocker, we have Annika at least somewhere back close to her best.
'King Lear' is the literary theme, after it last week being George Orwell and '1984'.
Lear, the crazy king who famously said "Nothing will come of nothing", and this time there is some good sound sense to why we are being thus well-educated in our leisure time by a Cambridge English alumna.
A bit of over-acting by some of the supporting cast, but the central group is strong, and Morgan has grown up a lot.
And the murder plot? Well, a body is found, and the location is a challenge for Annika. Both in its nature and remoteness.
In the end it all comes down to that old saying "The world is your oyster".
Worth 8/10 because Annika is fun - usually.
