The story is unravelling now as we start to reach the end
A bit more pace to this story but the many characters make it complex
A good cast sees it through.

Warning: Spoilers
Frankly, it's worth watching the entire series just for this episode and specifically for the part where Cameron goes rogue.
Having been hit with injunctions preventing the paper from printing the story, he gets the team into his office. They come in looking like a cross between ducklings and school children, tbh, in the face of Bill Nighy as a proper grown up. But their leader is positively gleeful as he first congratulates them for the story and then delivers the blow that they can't go to print.
I remember from the first time I watched this, you can't actually tell what he's going to do. There are no histrionics or shouting that might clue you in. Having watched the series several times, I now look forward to what happens next with just as much glee as Cameron exhibits doing it.
He picks up the phone to the press room, asks Ernie (IIRC) "How are you? How *were* you? It's a stop." And the Herald's presses slow and stop.
Even the printers look a little excited and this must really be one of the most exciting things that can happen at a newspaper; what's going to happen that's SO big the press run has been halted?
Having created FOUR new pages for the paper, Cameron proceeds to take everyone out for a drink and tbh the rest of the episode is a little anti-climactic after that.
It's just a brilliant bit of telly though. I could watch Bill Nighy play this character ALL DAY.
