A brilliant conclusion.

The team continue to hunt for the killer(s) only now one of their own has been killed. Boyd and Bulmer continue to lock heads.

I thought this was a great episode, I know full well that it's upsetting, and likely to trigger many people.

I'll start with my positive thoughts, I thought this was one of the best acted episodes of all, the acting is phenomenal, Emma Fielding in particular was amazing. I thought the way the story unravelled was fantastic, you didn't quite know, until a certain point, where you're left in no doubt.

I like the ambiguity of the episode, we never learned who was responsible for one of the murders, we can only make assumptions.

If anyone has ever had any doubt about how good James Dreyfus is, watch this, so well known for The Thin Blue Line, this shows you just how good he is, it's an incredible performance.

On the downside, it is a macabre, bleak story, it deals with some harrowing events, sadly true to life, the show went to placed here that most shows wouldn't dare to. Some of the dialogue is upsetting.

Outstanding, 10/10.
