Thought I'd better start a new one since the old one filled up!!

That was an impressive speach for someone who'd been shot in the jugular.

Poor Raf but that was such a good episode!

:( this was a gripping episode. Can't believe Tag has gone. Frederick always looked like a real psycho, like he had a real dark side to him.

Wow.
So I understand the story and why he went after the surgeons but I'm confused about the picture.
Perhaps the professor was his ultimate goal as he did groundbreaking work the way that F wanted too?

Why did he go after jac? And Ollie?

You'd think they'd have CCTV in lifts before they lock them down

I was a bit disappointed by the episode actually. At first I felt like my heart was in my mouth, especially as the pair of boots were walking through AAU but from then on the drama just seemed to be lost.

To be honest I was expecting there to be more deaths but it looks like he was just hunting down Consultants and poor Ollie for some reason. Although I imaging he would have shot Dom if he got the chance or maybe he was there looking to kill Sachs too. I'm disappointed he was shot dead because we will never know now why he did it, who and why he was targeting and what was going through his mind. It can only be speculation.

I really, really hope Ollie is going to be ok.

Oh holy shit YES. Got rid of Frederik AND Raf. Ollies face intact. McGann v suave .

Raf a shit actor til the end. "Essie? I've been shot? In the jugular? Goodbyyeee?"

Why didn't Raf call the police? Or the ward to get help?

..... Ollies face intact...

That really made me laugh!!

Thank the Lord Ollie's beautiful face hasn't been ruined

I wonder if Zosia will come back now that Ollie's been shot?

Why didn't Raf call the police? Or the ward to get help?

The strangest thing about his phone call to Essie was the fact that in hospitals you never, ever get mobile reception in the lifts

I wonder if Zosia will come back now that Ollie's been shot

I was thinking the same thing and I hope she does.

Brilliant.

Oh poor poor Essie

It'd be lovely if Zosia came back. She is one of my favourite characters. Such a brave woman.

I can only assume he killed Ollie because he was doing so well and was part of Henrik's "family"

I wonder if Essie will now discover she's pregnant.....

I know they both have fertility issues but it would be such a cliche thing to happen. I can just see the storyline: she will turn to Sacha for comfort following Raf's death and discovering her pregnancy and then all her past feelings for him will come to the surface again. Sacha will then raise the baby as his own and they'll be a happy little family.

What's the score with Essie's fertility struggles? I know she wanted a baby with Sacha but it didn't happen, do we think Raf may have left her a little gift?

Quite some episode! Fredrik really did turn out to be a mad man didn't he..... poor Henrik :(

Oops QUEEN, cross post! Great minds and all that!

Wow, what a fab episode. Joe will deffo win SCD now too 😊😊😊

Wow... I'm exhausted!

Sad to see Raf go like that, I was liking him more since he's been on Strictly. Do with think Essie will stay and get back with Sasha or go?

Fingers crossed for Ollie, that guy has had more than his fair share of bad luck

Shame he didn't get Essie.

I think all the people he went after were people he felt had humiliated him and spurned his ideas as a doctor. He was clearly a gifted medic in that 'thin line between genius and madman' way and also had mental health issues - HH has severe depression himself.
He was rejected by his dad, his colleagues and his wife left so there was nothing left to lose I guess.

I still think the Proff was his prime target as he had progressed ideas that F was interested in and had worked on (I think) and had all the kudos (at least F had been developing 'cures' if you remember, although I don't recall the details)

Maybe he had trained under him?
It'll all come out

Oh yes, an against-all-the-odds-pregnancy is a good call!
