Dead on Time

Certainly, this is one of the better episodes of this series. An Oxford Don is found dead at his desk, an apparent suicide. When Morse comes to investigate, he realizes this is the husband of a woman he was once engaged to. The cause of death becomes questionable because of the timing of some phone calls. Morse begins to come into conflict with Lewis after he seeks out the former lover and soon becomes blinded to some possibilities. Mixed in all of this is the death of a mother and her child and an apparent cover-up. Once again Morse starts to move into a romantic relationship but can't break through the shadows.
