Line of Duty (BBC) **Spoilers**

OK I can't believe I'm saying this but part of me is so pissed off at tonight's episode that I nearly don't want to watch next weeks!

We've all worked with at least one "as per my last email" person

LOD Reddit

I did think that was rather strange, the only time she seemed to show a flicker of getting annoyed.

Hollyworth

That part when Kate and Jo were giving themselves up, standing outside the car, with the police and helicopter surrounding them, and Kate says "Jo, we're being set up" or something to that effect... Erm, what?

Set up about what?

I was thinking at first that Kate was acting up in front of Jo to get her to talk or something but that wasn't the case. I really don't understand what the hell happened in the first 20 minutes of that episode.

I think we've all built up LOD as such a huge thing that we want a 10/10 episode every time

I once thought Season 5 was very weak, but on a rewatch this year: it's actually excellent

A lot hangs on next week's episode as to how this season is marked overall

The Black Oil

Tune in next week where AC-12 reveal institutional theft of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Yep I just kept saying to my husband wtf is going on with this. It just kept getting worse and her saying Steve had given her up.

Loopy is the only way yo describe it.

There better be some twist or I'm done with LOD!

Weakish episode i thought. Like others i was very confused at the start when Kate went on the run. I still am.

Think Ryan's death was dealt with poorly also. Should really have seen the inside of an interview room. Just very understated.

So Jo dad is Turwell is what I got from the end of it, or her adoptive dad

This is utter nonsense. Full of plot holes. It’s so poorly written real case of emperor’s clothes here. It’s tied itself in knots like Lost. Pure dung. It’s stinks

And like Lost, it's all about the TV journey

Besides, give Mercurio a chance to pull it all together first

There's time

Carmichael is keeping it clear of Osborne and any talk of police corruption.

I reckon she's just a jobber. He told her to do a job and that she would take over from Ted when the AC's were merged.

A career copper. Not bent, not gullible but pragmatic.

Well based on this episode nobody is going to get any info while she's in the interview room. Its a probably a bit too obvious she's in on it with Osbourne but I hope that is the case. Is the trackers on the cars a bit of a giveaway too

he didn't take part in it. He was there but he had no part in it. he was a witness to a murder certainly but he didn't take part in it.

He knew it was going to happen and was told to watch what happens to a rat. He's bent.


And incompetent.

Twitter also thought Neil Morrissey was the dude from the OCG with the beard at the phone drop

I took it that Kate was trying to get information out of Jo before bringing her in, and she reckoned she had time cause no-one would know where they were, but when they got chased, she reckoned she'd been sold out and was worried about a trigger-happy AFO who was in on it, who'd "see her go for a weapon" or something and shoot.

I don't she is in on it in the sense that osbourne is bent and she is too. It is entirely possible that osbourne is bent but carmichael has been given strict instructions by osbourne and to further her career she is following them to the letter. to the letter.

entirely possible he is bent and incompetent. he didnt take part in the murder though.

The big twist must be based on what Jimmy Lakewell told Steve before he died.

would the other police not notice there was somebody there they didn't know?

And why would the Spanish police say that the dead guy on the floor was Marcus?

"Only" an hour episode next week it seems. Was hoping that it'd be a bit longer like some other finales.

I’m really not enjoying this series at all, it just looks so jaded now I think it has run its course, kinda wished it was all over tbh.

What I'm wondering though is how they'll get her out of the interview room unless she's incriminated. She won't let the conversation steer in the way of police corruption

that as well. The spanish police knew who they were looking for and what he looked like. that he could standing next to them in tactical gear in a little far-fetched.

Did anyone see the email from Occupational Health to Steve?

Looks like he is in the sh1t deep.
