The medical notes showing she'd had a termination (assumed to be Dryden's), her getting rid of the cat she loved, in preparation to him moving in and the reaction (although may well be acted) from Dyer when confronted with evidence made it seem like it was engineered by her as some sort of bunny boiler revenge attack.
Perhaps I am reading too much into it, but I thought the 'cat' she got rid of for Dryden was, in fact, the baby. Justayellowbadge said:

He's helped her in holding back the tracker, (until she needs to be cleared) and can do all the digging around, they both know of his history and probably want some sort of retribution..or something..I dunno..

Not sure if this is worthy of a spoiler tag or not, some may know it, some may not, having only watched the first series a few weeks ago...
Dot is named as the caddy, in the first series. Tommy says to him 'best damn caddy I ever had', it's made pretty obvious he's been in Tommy's pocket by the conclusion of the first series. It Remains to be seen if Dot was involved in arranging the ambush or not and who the senior officer referred to in Tommy's video who could be a co-conspirator might be.
Hargreaves has striking similarities to the character Tony Pitts played in 'Red Riding', that could be a bit of a red herring.
I'm starting to wonder if Tommy set up his own ambush as an escape attempt, and the interested parties used it as an opportunity to kill him. Still unsure where Denton fits into everything though.

I sat, absolutely transfixed, throughout that episode. I can't remember acting that compelling or a script that powerful since forever. I actually found it all a bit much emotionally - I can smell the fear.
This ^ I was actually sat on the edge of my seat for an hour, most unlike me too.It's brilliantly acted from great writing too.
I think I've pieced some of it together now and have a main conspirator but still can't put together a lot of the whys and wherefores. I expect they'll be some things left unresolved but it may be all the better for that...
9pm next Wednesday, can't come bloody quick enough!

I knew I remembered something about the Caddy from the first series, you could be onto something there! It did seem weird that he ended up in AC, after the contempt he and Neil Morrisey's character (crapping in his car) showed Arnott in the first series.Dot is named as the caddy, in the first series.

I got the impression the Asian vice cop is not as bad as the one that he killed with the wrench (and of course he's the one that chucked the WPC out of the window).
Assuming the dead vice cop is the one who killed and disfigured to avoid detection Carly Clark.
Didn't really get the whole caddy thing??
The Emmerdale copper doesn't seem to have that much involvement apart from not wanting AC12 getting in the way of his investigation.
But of course it was his department that was tracking Acker's car so would know where she was to ambush it. Although Denton was driving the lead car...
But there again Ackers was 'on the take' from someone.

Its been a fantastic series, can't wait for the finale I will say Lennie James was a tough act to follow but its just been matched IMO, albeit in a different way. Tony Gates was visceral and full on, Denton has a simmering menace which only surfaces occasionally. She is a full on wrong 'in to Gates who wasn't corrupt just caught up in a web of lies. Only IMO of course.

Enjoying this. Not going to speculate on the conclusion(s) but I have a pet observation that big name actors don't get recruited for no reason so there is more to come from Denton (Keeley Hawes).
Similar with Brian Cox in Shetland, although I don't think he's the bad guy.
The weight of evidence is against Denton, as is the fact that guest artists are not wanted on the next episode. She's shown herself to be rather viscious in minor matters, and 'trying to' kill a bloke with a car, not to mention torturing him is not a good character reference. But then these might well be distractions.Similar with Brian Cox in Shetland, although I don't think he's the bad guy.
But she's my favourite, especially after seeing her on 'Would I lie to you' a year or so ago. She's either guilty or will be killed. Or both.
