And once it is welcome to everyone. Looking forward to any number of theories and learning things one never wanted to know about like tiny phones.

I think she's better off dead going by how she looked

I just love the decor at Catherine's and Clare's.

Maybe Joyce has info that will help the investigation out and she's not involved in anything dodgy.

Joyce and Catherine had a row one night ( was it series one ?) and they had a bit of a Mexican stand off
Seemed something going on there, but she bought her the cactus and they seemed to be ok again : it seems a bit of a volatile friendship

I like it too!
Dh hates it ! Too messy for him.
It shows character

It's very much Claire's decor. I bet Catherine couldn't care less.

Catherine was probably too exhausted by everything , working , bringing up Ryan , Clare and her recovery , getting over Becky and her own breakdown to have time to decorate or even think about any of that over the years.
Daniel said he didn't like it with Lucy as it was too tidy or something: maybe they all just prefer a more lived in place?
I can imagine Clare being into 'up cycling ' too
Getting things out of skips !

Daniel said he didn't like it with Lucy as it was too tidy
I was nodding along with him

I think I said it up thread but I think Joyce has known Cathrine forever and Catherine can be herself with her so she sometimes gets it in the neck when she's in a mood. She thinks highly of her as when Annie first joins the force she says Joyce is the go to person for everything or something to that effect.

That house the dad has bought for Ann and Daniel looks like a haunted place.
Lots of Windows

It was definitely Jo stifling a smile at the thought of Pfizer being "strong" that initially angered him.

I think the dodgy pharmacist has ' small man ' syndrome.
Bossy wife, acres of debt , daughters who think his a bit of a loser , maybe ?
Not condoning what he did to Joanna though
:(

Poor Jo looked pretty unrecoverable anyway, even without a tiny syringeful of air that he may or may not have injected her with. Severe brain injury going by the flickering and twitching, doubt she’d be in any state to give evidence, ever again.

It is out of character for the policeman and this dodgy pharmacist to kill people , which is worrying that it's not always a ' type ' who do kill someone , it can , sometimes, just be anyone if pushed too far

I, too, love the look of Catherine's house, so warm and homely and lived in. I noticed that there were twinkly fairy lights hanging up all over Neil's tiny flat, so it's definitely Claire's homemaking influence.

I've also just realised - Cathy and Claire. Two women you could sit down with and ask their advice.

Clare I'd get on with I think
Catherine .. I think she would find me too annoying as I'm a people pleaser!
I'd like to think we'd get on, but it wouldn't be a firm friendship.
I admire her though

I think Sally shows that a lot of men are capable of hurting women. There seems to be a theme of violent men and drugs.

Men, violence , drugs
Although a lot of crime fiction I read lately tend to have lady killers more than the men at the moment
Different motives

Maybe Catherine & Claire will go to the mountains? #soppy ending 🙏

What will become of Neil ?..
I looked up the Himalayas , it'll take her months to drive there! Bit of an odd place to want to go to ?
Her rant about Pilates / yoga was funny.
I am rubbish at both and it does make you break wind !

That’s perfectly put.

The Himalayan mountain range is enormous, stretching from Pakistan, across several states in India and to Nepal. It’s not just Everest base camp or Rishikesh. Why would it be an odd place to dream of going? And the journey there would be part of the adventure, although she’d have problems with Iran and Afghanistan.

Joyce and Catherine argued in series 2, because Joyce was trying to help Catherine find an alibi for Lynn's murder and Catherine was pissed off that she had even been asked for one. She bit Joyce's head off when she pushed her for details after they had been out at some Abba act/restaurant.

Absolutely - there's nothing dodgy about Joyce at all.

I disagree. Joyce is up to something!
