    6/10
    Little actual detail, quite a padded episode.
    We learn more about DI Miskin and Theresa Nolan, this episode explores the home lives of both of them, until the conclusion this episode is a bit of a slog, so much happened in the previous, whereas in this one, so little seems to happen until the cliffhanger.

    Nice to see Kim Benson, I can only recall seeing her in 2.5 children, so it was nice to see her in a serious role outside of that, I assume we will see more of her from now on, following that grim discovery.

    Why does the Housekeeper have such hatred and animosity towards the Nurse, is it just jealousy, or is there more to it?

    A bit naughty to save any action until the final moment.

    It's interesting, it's just so slow. 6/10.
