The series that I can't stop watching even though the storylines are literally incredible. Anyone else clocked Olly for the new lab male totty? How can they possibly manage without Clarissa or someone else in her job?

This really is crap.

I like the new guy though.

PollyDarton1 · 13/09/2021 21:33

Jack's definitely the father of the girl.

SuperstoreFan · 13/09/2021 23:17

Jack looked almost normal compared to last week's episodes, it looks like he'd lost the pandemic pounds.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 14/09/2021 06:21

Can't see how the two separate plot strands are going to tie up? Although suspect the young killer is going to turn out to be the son of the sperm donor extraordinaire!

I definitely blinked and missed something important last night. How did they end up at the renovated house? What is the connection to the murdered swimming teacher and the copper?

Was a bit of a leap of faith but the murdered swimming teacher knew the person who owned the house from school. No idea why they searched it or on what grounds. Seemed very tenuous.

The copper was the murdered woman's ex husband/partner.

Jack followed the tracking information on the murdered woman's phone which showed that was the last place she went. The police woman had found it as the last known address for the School Crush that the laptop showed she'd been Googling.

I guess Jack was suspicious at the "vanished wife" and handily had his UV torch to check for blood.

When they check for blood, why is the UV glow a nice neat pattern and not all smeared about from having been cleaned?

I said that to my ed. Maybe he was grumpy at being back to work on the first two episodes and didn't want to be there Grin

I thought last nights episode was much better than last weeks ones. I didn't like the new guy bringing in his child to work though. It going to be interesting working out how the different people are all connected. Was there a second body under the patio? I've forgotten that bit.

SoupDragon · 14/09/2021 11:36

They said they "might have a second body" and definitely found something. I don't know if they confirmed what it was though.

FeedMeSantiago · 14/09/2021 12:28

We had to pause it and talk through it last night as it did escalate very quickly from 'here's Laura's laptop and phone's to 'let's look at this house' to 'we have a body'.

So the lady who was murdered at the start, Laura, had been googling the name of someone she went to school with before she died. Her phone's tracker showed she visited the last known address of the school friend before she was killed.

Said school friend's wife had gone missing two years prior and he had vacated the family home at that time. The police and Jack were suspicious because the wife was reported missing by a friend, not her husband. However, the investigation into her disappearance was dropped because a police officer said he had spoken to the missing woman.

Jack noticed blood in the kitchen so they dug up the patio and found a woman's body. I suspect the connection will be that a police officer may have covered up her murder by claiming to have spoken to her, when she was in fact dead. Whereas Laura's abusive ex boyfriend wasn't charged with his abuse as he was a police officer and was allowed to quietly leave his job instead.

Right at the end they see more of the material the missing wife's body was wrapped in and think there may be a second body. Then it cut to Frank, Laura's sperm donor, being severely beaten in an underpass. So we haven't seen yet if another body is under the patio or not.

SuperstoreFan · 14/09/2021 12:37

Do we think that the young bloke who works in the care home killed Laura and Frank the bank?

SoupDragon · 14/09/2021 12:42

I can't decide about the Care Home Guy. Why is he obsessed with those children?

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 14/09/2021 17:52

I'd be surprised if Frank the Wank Bank has survived that beating. Yes, I thought it was him who attacked Laura.

I wonder if he is a child of Frank and those children are his half-siblings?

SoupDragon · 14/09/2021 19:47

I wondered if they were half siblings.

Something that has just occurred to me though - could they be the grandchildren of the woman in the care home?

GorgonzolaSouffle · 14/09/2021 22:36

Why did Simon bash up Frank the Wank?

It’s utterly ridiculous but I do love it and shallowly wish that Emilia and Jack would kiss. 🥰😃

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 15/09/2021 07:57

Not only that @GorgonzolaSouffle, but Simon seemed to get away with it too (judging by the scene at the end)?

Oh is this another thing I missed?

I thought the ex (Radford) had beaten up Frank the Wank.

Hallomother · 15/09/2021 08:16

@GorgonzolaSouffle they’re going for it this series aren’t they with all the ramped up flirting? I’m ashamed to say I’m here for it Grin

Although quite a few Harry references bizarrely, I hope they don’t bring him back, He’s a relic from when you could still take Silent Witness semi seriously!

The plot from these last two episodes was quite convoluted but I am enjoying the series if I just suspend all disbelief

SoupDragon · 15/09/2021 09:12

I thought the ex (Radford) had beaten up Frank the Wank.

He did. He beat him up because Frank the Wank got "his" Laura pregnant.

As an aside, this week was worth it just for the phrase "Frank the wank" 😂

SoupDragon · 15/09/2021 09:13

Me too. I don't care that it clearly makes up the operational rules.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 16/09/2021 07:51

I was always hopeful that Harry and Nikki would end up together. Not sure Nikki and Jack would work.

Has the writing team forgotten all about her US Ambassador love interest? He's not been mentioned yet, has he?

CornishPastyDownUnder · 16/09/2021 08:00

watching inOz-getting my Britfix&holyhell that new Asian guy is fit as f#ck😍..deffo giving Jack a run for his money..

diddl · 16/09/2021 08:10

I gave up on the first storyline but thpught I'd try again with this one.

I'm afraid that "I'm Ryan's Daughter" probably amused me more than it should have.

SoupDragon · 16/09/2021 08:43

I thought they split up at the end of the last series but I can't remember any details, it's just a vague memory. I think Nicky has mentioned him once in passing this series.

VeryLongBeeeeep · 16/09/2021 10:32

I thought I could vaguely remember Nikki being sad last series about the US boyfriend not calling, but I could be completely making that up or it could be a memory from an earlier episode with him that was happily resolved.
