1) Despondent Ted makes me sad
2) I don’t see any upside to Jo taking the rap for shooting Ryan and Kate then going along with the story. I see that it might salve Jo’s conscience a bit, but I can only see this coming back to bite Kate in the arse at some point. It was a totally justified shooting. That didn’t make any sense to me.
3) I enjoyed the glass box interview. I think Jo started to open up a bit on her own culpability, then no commented when it came to other people’s actions.
4) Carmichael is a smarmy bastard!! I don’t think she’s bent but definitely steering things away from the Chief Constable. Whether that’s just for brownie points / career advancement, or deliberately covering up for him, I am undecided
5) Am unconvinced that wee Jimmy Nesbit is actually deid
. And who was the woman found dead alongside him??? TELL ME GODDAMMIT!!!!
6) I think Carmichael’s line to Kate about being pragmatic is at the root of a lot of this show - see Jo, Buckles, etc. Maybe not deliberately embracing corruption, but by their inaction/acceptance of events, allow corruption to flourish. Is that worse?
7) FUCKING HELL STEVE GET TO OCC HEALTH BEFORE THEY SACK YOUR WWW ARSE!
8) “and the wee donkey”. Best line of the series!! I love you Ted, don’t change
9) Chloe’s a bit under-used. Maybe she’ll come into her own in the final episode.
10) Has Steve not told Kate about the tracker on his car that Carmichael arranged!!
If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading
