Episode 2 Discussion [rewatch]

[JHyde]

Sorry I've been absent from these for a few weeks. The only thing I have to add to this was that it is still (along with a certain exit from season 5) the one that makes me bawl unashamedly.

I find the reason Tom left very fitting and appropriate for the character and in keeping with his untangling from mid season 2.

At least when people leave Spooks (by and large), they're written out in a way that makes sense for the character. Tom started this trend and it's served the show well.
