Sam and Ruth go undercover to a health farm, posing as husband and wife, their aim is to track down Baron Battenburg, a wealthy businessman that vanished five years ago, his wife is now with The Baron's brother.
Just like Kembleford, Great Slaughter houses all manner of weird and wonderful destinations, this time it's a curious retreat. Definitely a lighter episode, with a few humorous moments, and an interesting enough crime. We actually get to learn a little about Sam and Ruth, finally the pair let one another know how they feel.
Sister Boniface is almost a bit player here, we don't see her for some time, and then she's essentially just in for the kill. A stoned Sister Boniface, I never thought I'd see that, absolutely hilarious.
I was worried that Ruth had exited, but here she is, and central to the episode, Raison is excellent here,
so often she seems like the adult in the room, and gets to wear some incredible outfits, poor Sam on the other hand doesn't.
Emily Bruni was pretty good I thought, she does quirky characters very well, but I'd argue it was Raison that steals it.
Worth noting just exactly what LSD was used for at that time, it was considered very differently, and back then would have been used as a treatment.
8/10.
