If one is to accept basic premises of split personality, I suppose you could fall for this ending. Unfortunately, one has to stretch about as far as one can to buy it. This is a really badly constructed episode, asking us to believe historical facts not in evidence. It also has a couple of ludicrous subplot, including the romantic efforts of Chandler. Oh well. It didn't last long.

Ridiculous with inaccurate facts reported
laurenthoutent23 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This series is getting sillier and sillier and what a waste of otherwise good actors.
There were many mentions of De Sade and his murders. The constant references to De Sade were ridiculous and mostly false. There is no evidence whatsoever that De Sade ever murdered anyone.
The 1772 poisoning did indeed take place, where some prostitutes were taken ill after being allegedly administered Spanish Fly in food or drink by De Sade and his servant. Contrary to what was said in this episode of Whitechapel, no one died.
De Sade and his servant were sentenced to death (for poisoning and sodomy) but in absentia, as both had long fled to Italy in the meantime. De Sade and his servant were not executed, everyone knows this, they were reprieved.
There are descendants of De Sade around. They might take offense, were they to watch this silly episode.
The conclusion of the story is barely worth mentioning, the multi-personality serial killer character seemed straight out of a Monty Python sketch.
