Episode 6 Discussion [rewatch]

[Silktie]

I think this episode works dramatically speaking, but if you look at it too closely there are many elements that are unbelievable. First off, the evidence against Zoe was circumstantial and flimsy, they really only had the bad guy's word against Zoe's. Even those tapes mean nothing, as once again all they confirm is his claims that Zoe put him up to it. If Zoe had a decent lawyer, she should never have been convicted on such flimsy evidence. Secondly I find it highly unlikely that the junior officer would end up in the dock over something like this. The reasons for the case going ahead was political, and because of this I believe they would have gone after someone more senior, i.e. the person that gave the actual order to kill Chellink. Also, how did the police find out that Zoe was from MI5? One would think with their resources they could have ensured the police never found out who Sophie really was.

Sad to think that if Zoe had just followed orders, this would not have happened, as in the end she herself decided to have the guy killed because she was afraid.

Second the other posters about the great scenes between Zoe and Danny.

I also loved the ending, with Danny saying "gone".
