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

Can I just say (and I know next week I could totally be proved wrong) but I don't believe Kate or Steve are bent.

We have to remember that Steve had his fingers half cut off (and he finally got redemption for that tonight), was thrown in jail, Lindsey was killed in his car, he was then thrown down the stairs by Balaclava man. Kate had to witness all that done to her bestie, was also attacked by Lindsey, chased Dot down the street with a machine gun and was almost shot, watched Ted get arrested, knew she was working with Ryan who had almost cut Steve's fingers off.

If I were them, I'd have an emergency plan as well. Seeing as they seem to have the most dangerous jobs in the country I don't blame them for having a locker with some burner phones in and be the only people to know where each other are. Crikey if I were them think I'd have him put a GPS in my arm I'd be running round paranoid af

Maybe when Kate shot Ryan she revealed herself to Jo...

So Jo is now covering for Kate and her involvement

did anyone notice when Ted kept shouting who is he.. was nearly like it was obvious.... could H be a woman????

At this point in time I agree!! I’ll be so sad if either of them turn out to be bent I do think some of Kate’s actions are a bit iffy at times but they’ve been through so much I’ll be devo

Is Thurwell dead or was that just a woman in the room? I need to watch it again.
They said he was, but that doesn’t mean much in LoD

Just seen this on twitter and they’re almost identical. Surely he’s still alive??

I’m so disappointed about Ryan. Yes he made my blood boil but I felt he deserved a bigger send off then that!! I really don’t know what to make of tonight’s episode .......

Yes but sent right back on the case?

So Thirwell is now a police officer in Spain - faking his own death? Or am I completely wrong

I’m stressed that we’re all seeing definite similarities between the “captain” and Thurwell but no one from AC-12 seemed to?! Either we’re digging too much into it or they should’ve gone to specsavers
