Others have done an adequate job of evaluating this episode. Generally speaking, the whole issue of some landowner being able to do what he does and gain control of so many women is quite preposterous. Once again, some fringe religious group is at the center of the action with clergy that are at best idiots or zealots. The series has dropped from the charming view of bucolic England to these far-fetched messes. Barnaby is self- centered and overly sure of himself to the point of ignoring basic police work. The conclusion so beyond the setup that it is laughable. I'm hoping for better because I have rooted for this series all along.
