Quigley puts her faith back in Annie, allowing her back on the team. Annie instantly discovers that Simon had indeed sacked Niall prior to his death. The three youngsters that placed the mock monster's body in the beach are placed in danger, Annie's daughter Evie, and Kieran are almost run off the road, while Jonjo, who's dad owns the abattoir is kidnapped. Craig Petrie is seen throwing a phone into the Loch.
I mentioned in my review of the previous episode that it felt like a Broadchurch styled serial, and that certainly continues. The plot is still somewhat interesting, I just hope it doesn't turn into a story about closeted gay men being killed in a small rural community, a story that should in transpire belongs to a show from twenty years ago.
Plaudits to Siobhan Finneran, who it has to be said is somewhat a cut above everyone in the show, Don Gilet and Alastair Mackenzie both developing into interesting characters.
Overall I enjoyed it, it started off too slowly, but the last ten minutes were fantastic, despite a blip, I still think this will develop into something very good. 6/10
