Two main issues with this episode (and more generally the season so far), neither of which has anything to do with the sex of the lead characters.
First, the scripting is downright lazy, there is very little interesting dialogue, every interaction is as bland as the last. It seems that for the main characters, their ONLY defining trait is their abrasiveness towards everyone else. It makes for a very tedious and unconvincing script, main characters NEED alternative traits, even subtle ones, in order to seem genuine. The hostility itself isn't even well-scripted, just angry drivel with some swearing.
Second, the plot is becoming less interesting each episode. The small developments we are being fed to maintain our interest, for me, are having the opposite effect. It now seems very likely that a ghost did it. Great. I hope I'm wrong, because that really would be a lazy conclusion.
I'm giving it 5/10 because that's what I think it deserves, not because I'm trying to drag the average score up or down.
