Mr Tibbs, the Half-Life responsible for the murder of Galvin's wife, is back in town...
Some very good moments in this episode are spoiled by some frankly incredible plot holes that really should have been spotted at storyline stage – and which were easily fixable, given the characters that have already been established in the show.
It's not just Ruby who's put in danger this week: some of the best scenes come between Luke and Galvin when they seem to be facing certain death. The dialogue is sharper than it's been up to now, and sounds more natural coming from Philip Glenister's character.
Zoe Tapper's Mina becomes increasingly annoying, with great play given to her blindness at certain times, yet at others you have to suspect she's got Daredevil-like vision! Kevin McNally doesn't go quite as far over the top as Mackenzie Crook did in the first episode, although he clearly relishes the opportunity to play the pantomime character of King Rat for real.
The sequence in the stacks, though, with Ruby and Mina has to be seen to be disbelieved and while there's some good tension derived from the situation, the resolution requires such a suspension of disbelief that you're pulled completely from the story.
