Up to this episode I have enjoyed the series. The characters are engaging and the stories are from a slightly different point of view.
Rather than clues being found by detectives, the Forensic Pathologist, Raphael Balthazar, comes up with they key to solving the crime, many times rather graphically. There are 'suspension-of-disbelief' fantasy conversations between the deceased victim and our hero, Balthazar, that are no further far-fetched than what we are expected to believe in American programs and commercials.
As is typical, there is an element of sexual tension between the two main characters which, no doubt, will continue with innuendo but not deed.
This episode was eye-rollingly bad and I sure hope it's a one-off. Balthazar, who directed this episode, is put in mortal peril, though we must assume that he does not perish as there are another three seasons of the show.
What saves him might possibly be the over-the-top acting and lines that Capitaine Bach (Hélène de Fougerolles) is asked to deliver. As this episode does not advance any of the overlaid story lines, you might consider giving this episode a pass.
