The description for this episode on BritBox is “Thornton is heartbroken and humiliated, but at least the strike is over,” and if that’s not a big pandemic mood in all the worst ways I don’t know what is! Anyway, as you can imagine, things are not great for our guy Thorny after he got turned down hard by Mags last week. And TBH, this isn’t even a Pride & Prejudice situation where he was being a jerk and has to deal with the consequences; this is a “sorry bud, she’s just not that into you” moment.

When last we left our protagonist, she was getting into an alleyway altercation with a certain grumpy mill owner, and we were all pretending we weren’t super here for it. This week kicks off with Thorny and his mom surveying the situation at the mill.

When last we saw our intrepid lady detective, she was meeting with potential murder suspect/frenemy Moses in the latest of her ongoing efforts to respect her own safety without getting unjustly benched for the crime of being a woman. Alas, before we can get an update on THAT situation, it’s time for a flashback starring Papa Mars, and let me tell you, it’s a doozy. An unknown assailant, again in the creepy gas mask, is sat across from Papa Mars in his offices. The man forces our Dadtective to drink a glass of (presumably) poison at gunpoint.
