I wonder since that teacher is worming is way into Ryan's life, will he drive Ryan to the TLR trial?

Yeah it seemed a bit unlikely. If he'd had the foresight to bring the gloves and the things to put over his shoes, touching the door handle before putting the gloves on and sitting down are pretty basic schoolboy errors. I know he's meant to be panicking, but it just seemed a bit daft.
I hope not, it's dark enough without that. I suppose it's feasible because he knows Ryan's dad is out of the picture.My hubby reckons the teacher is a perv and gona groom Ryan
That said, his wife previously said he has a go at kids to make them down/lash out, which effectively sets up a scenario where he can 'save' them. I took that to mean he does it to look like a hero and to make people think he'd never treat his wife badly. But who knows?!
I have wondered about the teacher and grooming and abuse. He clearly originally targeted Ryan because he thought he was vulnerable and living with a little old granny. And now he’s manipulated him into telling him he is actually now vulnerable. Plus the exchange of info - telling Ryan his marriage in unhappy. Highly inappropriate but will make Ryan feel they’re on a level.
I know. I don’t know why some of the officers didn’t pursue the silver Honda? They were ridiculously suspicious - and why were they circling the house knowing they would be spotted? No point just taking the reg as the car will be burnt out - and obviously not registered to those drivers..
A bit of creative licence at points tonight the same way they had 3 billion officers raiding that house yet it took forever for any of them to assist Catherine with the arrest. Wonder if there will be any come back for her punching that lad twice, there were people filming it in the background.
I’m so excited for 5/6th episode when it all comes together 
till then I am loving it! Didn’t expect wife to die!!

Ryan has obviously told Royce about his teacher. I am wondering if Royce might arrange for him to be duffed up or murdered.
Did anyone else find what Dr. Faisal did to the teacher's wife slightly bizarre and unrealistic? She was such a liability, manipulative and annoying beyond belief - despite her awful situation - but his anger in that moment, when it seemed like the high stakes situation was giving him a small out to try and figure out a new way of handling it all, seemed nonsensical.
For a character we're already supposed to have interpreted as being worried about absolutely everything he does being traced back to him, that felt poorly written.
It made absolutely no sense to hit her in her own home. Repeatedly too and so brutally? That was only EVER going to make absolutely everything worse.

Amit Shah who plays Faisal is on Insta and his stories were quite amusing last night, all linked to last night's episode.
I think that was showing how snapping in anger can really escalate.
That's how I took it. He's mega stressed, she's told him she's lied to him and she pushes him. He snaps. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility.
Yeah why is Neil apologising to Tommy for saying Catherine's name. Tommy is the lowest of rum. I wouldn't be apologising to him!
Yes, immense pressure, highly flammable situation - buttons being pushed. Realistic imo.
So he will lock her in the garage, hide the key and sneak out, and the husband will get the blame. Then it’ll somehow link to Ryan 
Yes I think the acting isn’t helping the storyline.
And it is ludicrous but often these dreadful incidents are aren’t they - you read about them and think who assessed that would work. And yet.

I think that’s why I’m a little bit disappointed in the turn the Faisal/Joanna storyline has taken. It feels rather formulaic: professional man gets out of his depth and takes desperate action, does something stupid and irreversible, and a woman ends up dead. Exactly the same as the Kevin Weatherill and John Wadsworth storylines.
I guess that’s the Happy Valley USP, but I was hoping for something a little less ‘samey’.
