This has got to be the most complicated drama I've ever seen. I'm worn out at the end of every episode, trying to keep up. I log on to PH each week and hope this thread is still going, just to clarify things. Only two more episodes, thank goodness!
But you love it hehe

I can only think of one way to describe tonight, "st just got real"...

Only downer is that presumably the Baptiste character won't return for any upcoming series given his apparently terminal condition.

At some point early on there was a photo of the butcher's wife in a compromising pose.
Who had that photo? Was it Dementia Dad?

It was on butcher wifes phone and she deleted it, I think the 3 army guys knew she was into that kind of thing so it meant her husband was a prime candidate for the setup.

Had to suspend my disbelief slightly in that Baptiste was apparently allowed to walk into an old folks' home, physically attack a resident, be caught in the act of doing so, but just be told to not be a bad man and go away.

Surely they'd have been 999-ing der Rozzers pronto!?

He's signed up for series three - he will be carrying a few more injuries, and now resembles this -



Still two more episodes to go and it's getting more convoluted than tax legislation.

Not quite suspended as much as a civvy being able to get into the Red Cap's PC, and gain the details of personnel on an Op that took place 25 years earlier; print the info and vacate. It takes me ages and a reboot to get into my own JPA! smile

LOL, I was posting that and too busy to check the code auf Deutschland, but knew a fellow PH pedant would pick up on it! Give yourself a house point! wink

There's plenty of time yet for him to go back home for the operation that his wife keeps banging on about, which might miraculously save him.

And the three skinheads who don't seem to be able to go anywhere without a drum and bass soundtrack, who were also able to get into the home undetected, injure the guy badly enough to hospitalise him, and get out again.

When we saw Sophie with her child in PRs room, when was that? post fire or pre fire? IIRC the caption said '2015' when previously it was 2014?

After the fire

The whole fire thing was a plan by PR man to make people think 'Alice' was dead so that no one would be looking for her anymore and then they can live together 'normally'. Even tho the death of Alice does nothing to detract from the fact that 'Sophie' is still being kept somewhere? Or did 'Alice' tell them that 'Sophie' was dead? I can't remember

There were two doors with boarded up windows on the top floor of PR's house, the one with all the locks was Sophie/Alice, who was behind the other ..

I think it's been dragged out unnecessarily. Could easily be two episodes shorter simply by cutting the histrionics of David Morrissey. It's normally the female in these dramas that acts irrationally whilst the bloke tries to get on with some semblance of normal life however the roles have been reversed.

Yes, unless it turns out that's he is directly involved, his main contribution seems to be to help us recognise whether it's pre- or post-shed-burning-down in the timeline.

As demonstrated by the kids knuckles, they would not be able to pin the assault on Baptiste. No injurys, etc.

Edit: As expected...

Why are the Polizei not in a hurry to track down their colleague who got a bit too friendly with the black and decker?

Also the press officer doing a runner would also arouse suspicion.
