Would someone be kind enough to do me a precis of the final bit of the first series?
How has Luther managed to avoid any questioning over the killing of Steven Mackintosh and how was Ruth allowed to take the blame without any investigation?
Are we to assume that Ruth has fled the country using only a keycard and a half-eaten apple?
Also, where has the female senior officer gone? Why does Schenk appear to have become her permanent replacement when he was brought in on a temporary basis to investigate Luther? Why does he like Luther now when he used to think he was dodgy as hell?
Like lulabellarama I'd appreciate an explanation of the blackmail/hooker plot? I must have been looking at the bookshelves at time thinking: 'I really should take some of those down the charity shop.'
I know it's tosh, but there might be a logical explanation for it all. 
I do like this second storyline better than the first one. However I find the middle-aged female crime boss about as convincing as Martin Kemp in EastEnders but with less fake tan.
