CATHY DENNIS ALL NIGHT LONG CODE
Meanwhile, Leonard solves the box's mystery it's got the code to the safe in the Chaplin's office inscribed on it. It's a good idea, but Geordie's drinking with Johnny means he turns up late and smashed, embarrassing Cathy and upsetting Esme. discovering the seminal book, The Second Sex, and Tamara spiking the punch. But this is Leonard's case, which means Will wanders off to get the B plot of planning a surprise anniversary party for the Keatings. However, the sight of Joe's collapse in the face of his punishment is too much for Geordie to handle, as is Will's continuing insistence that Joe's original murder charge against his mother doesn't add up. But it's enough to get Joe out of confinement for the moment. Lynch admits to roughing up Elroy but insists he left him alive.

He's not wrong, as the man, Lynch (Cameron Jack), turns up in Leonard's cell as the night guard and begins beating Leonard up. Will realizes that Daniel's drunken rage he witnessed was at someone threatening the same thing, but with Leonard. She refused, hence Elroy's freak out when she visited. She reveals that she doesn't believe Joe did it, that someone had come to the house trying to blackmail her into paying protection money to secure Elroy's safety. Leonard explores where Elroy died and discovers the box he was working on in the woodworking space, labeled "Veritas." When Sophie turns up, asking for help, he sends her to Will. It was also a fan favorite that season it's not surprising that to centralize Leonard's story once more, it's his turn to wear the deerstalker hat. It was a good adventure in that it demonstrated Geordie's odd couple pairings could only go so far while allowing Leonard some front and center action. As part of the changeover from Sidney to Will in Season 4, the season did an episode where Geordie teamed up with Leonard to solve a crime.
CATHY DENNIS ALL NIGHT LONG SERIES
This is not the first time the series has turned to Leonard as the series detective. And it's not long before this episode becomes Grantchester: Leonard Finch Investigates. He calls in the calvary, triggering Geordie, whose memories of imprisonment in Burma come flooding back at seeing Joe in solitary. But Leonard was always the open-hearted sort, and he believes Joe, even if Milton sneers at his protestations. (He murdered his mother in the bath.) For Leonard, it should be a relief, now that his tormentor is gone. The prison governor, James Milton ( John Bowler), believes he has their man, as Elroy's death was by drowning in a tub, the same crime Joe committed. Joe is dragged away, protesting his innocence. Despite it being Joe who acts out on the inside, Elroy acts out at visiting time.īut perhaps there's a reason, as a few hours later, Elroy is deceased. C., though not for the same reasons.) But at least he's keeping up the visits with Leonard and meeting those who have loved ones on the inside, including Joe's father Arthur ( Ian Burfield) and Elroy's mother Sophie ( Gabrielle Glaister). Will is too, though at least he has the excuse he's been saddled with Tamara, who Amelia chucked out for misbehaving. Johnny has been taking Geordie out all night, keeping him at the pub until closing time. Nick Byatt ( Paul Ryan), who relentlessly pushes him back into the closet.ĭaniel's not the only one who's been drinking. But Leonard's real comfort is retreating to the church that rejected him, visiting with the Chaplin, Rev. He's befriended by another gay man, Elroy Hastings ( James Bailey), an upper-class guy who cheerfully treats his time inside as a laugh and claims that Joe (who beats him up regularly) isn't such a nasty guy. His cellmate, Joe Davies ( Bobby Lockwood), is a violent bully who amuses himself by beating up his gentle companion. Leonard, as one can imagine, is not having an easy time.
Henry: Your Freudian nightmare of a sibling is disrobing in the parlor. But this week, the series stops sidelining Leonard and treating his and Daniel's trauma like a fulcrum for other people's growth, with an opening that focuses directly on Leonard's ongoing experience in prison as Daniel dives into the bottom of a bottle. Last week spent time focused on Will and the parish moving on, Will trying to find the nerve to visit, Henry Jones hired as the new curate. This being 1958, being gay is illegal, and it led to him being put in prison two episodes ago. Grantchester began this season with one of its heaviest storylines to date, Leonard's sexuality coming out in public.
