One thing you could always count on in the Morse episodes is being confused for a time, as the plots were often very dense. It's one of the things that made them so intriguing. I remember one episode where I got so confused, I called a friend and asked him whodunit. He replied, "I not only don't know whodunit, I don't even know who was killed." "The Great and the Good" is one of those, tying several plot lines together, past and present, throwing in the death of Lewis' wife, and being difficult to follow.
While Lewis is in the emergency room being treated for a back injury, a teenage girl is brought into the hospital. She was found naked and has no memory of what happened to her. It turns out that she was drugged with Dipronex, a sedative, and then raped. Lewis and Hathaway do a prescription search and come up with a teacher at the girl's school named Cooper. He, however, has an alibi provided by three uppity-ups in the community -- a man who is building the first green city, a former diplomat, and a radio personality. What's intriguing to the detectives is, how is it that this nobody has these big friends? When Cooper is found murdered, the plot thickens. All three men are questioned, to the complete horror of Lewis' supervisor.
What's behind all this is, as I say, a little confusing at times, but it's still a good episode and well worth seeing - strange letters, ties to the past, castration, a secret, and something about the death of Lewis' wife all come into play.
Enjoy, but pay attention.
