This is by far the poorest story, it has nowhere to go that we care about and the detail of the escape was skipped. I think a sex discrimination line gets introduced as Ted has changed character to be patronising to Huntley and blocked Kate's promotion. Also all the evidence pointed to the CSI guy so why make more evidence and risk getting caught.
For me there are lots of unanswered questions;If CSIGuy was dodgy then why was he so keen to suggest that the person they've locked up is innocent?
If CSIGuy was genuinely dodgy why did he go Power Tool shopping whilst wearing a balaclava? That seemed a blatant piece of misdirection?
Why did DCI Huntley go round to his flat? And also kill him if it wasn't self defence?
How did the second victim get CSIGuy's blood on her? And how did DCI Huntley know that Forensics would find it?

Agreed on his 'super' becoming very 'old skool' sexist all of a sudden. Strange. Very watchable still.
Seems that Super Ted often gets a little spotlight cast on him. In a previous season I think it was a possible hint of corruption that eventually got tidied up.The Don of Croy said:

Few of the reviews I've read about the second episode have noted this...could it just be something to distract viewers and try to throw us off track a little?Anyone find Hilton a bit odd? Can't seem to make my mind up about him.
Also, the guy who replaced Huntley, Buckles, nice little throwback to series 1.

he's a well known actor surely destined for more than the bit part he's played so far.The CSI's death seems a little OT but I'll accept it, the situation was far from an easy resolution when she popped her eyes open. I just reckoned she'd fight him off and tie the f
ker up but she went a little serial killery with the finger removal.
Still love the interrogation scenes, some of the best parts to this series.

(I couldn't believe she'd kill him, or that he seemed to be the balaclava killer anyway, thinking back to how he approached the DIY store late at night?... yes, I'm lost on this one, obviously...)
Sloppy details again...
Evidence bag will be individually numbered, exhibit reference given and signed by seizing or exhibiting officer.. Ideally both. Bag probably would have been photographed at time of seizing also at a scene like that.
So walking in and simply swapping the bags will draw massive attention later on... Different bag numbers, no (incorrect) signatures. It might remove her possible blood sample, but it's still silly.
Quite a few holes... Laptop password (or possible fingerprint ID, so chopped finger used).

I imagine his laptop will have the images from his security system on it, showing how things really unfolded in the flat that night.
It seems a massive inconsistency that he's got this high-tech entry control system "all controlled from my PC" as he makes a point of telling her, but that it's not backed up anywhere else.DS240 said:

I'm expecting at some point the CSI tech will remember that when they wrote the reference number on the bag, they didn't cross it out and replace with a different number that sounds like the first one, especially as there were two people involved - one who assigned the number from the log book, and the other who wrote it on the bag IIRC. So they'd remember saying "no, not 30, 13". Still, the whole 30/13 thing was really drummed home, showing her carefully writing it on her glove, so we'd all think she was done for, then the whole fridge thing.Evidence bag will be individually numbered, exhibit reference given and signed by seizing or exhibiting officer..

I reckon Huntley's husband is the real killer and she's covering for him.
This. There's certainly some explaining to do regarding his late arrivals home etc.The guy that plays her boss is bloody woefully wooden, and it's getting on my moobs everytime he's in a scene.
And why does Kate feel the need to stare directly at people when she's listening in, before then shifting to an "oh I wasn't ear-wigging, honest" look.
And as for the whole absurdity of there being no CCTV covering the evidence store...

Yes! I was saying this to my wife and she's now irritated by his (poor) acting too.The guy that plays her boss is bloody woefully wooden, and it's getting on my moobs everytime he's in a scene.

Will the young lad be released from prison at some point if he is no longer a suspect, and will the crimes then start to happen again? Based on his prison cell getting trashed, "Beast" and him not being able to remember things/swearing he didn't do it, perhaps he does have a genuine split personality?
I think he'll end up dead one way or another. Pressured to take his own life perhaps?LittleBigPlanet said:
