The way the son told his father that his wife had been killed was cold but that's how he found out about his own mother from him but then Grace was killed and Joe was lucky when Barbara pushed him down the cellar and all because she burred a body on the designated route for the access road to the quarry

Poor Hanna finding out her mother was murdered only to find out the one person who was there for her was the one who killed her and all because she slept with Simon and was going to tell her daughter and Joe saving the other witness was impressive

The suspicious death in the army barracks did look like suicide at first but the second one made them think it was also murder but I had a felling it was because of what happened abroad and the affair didn't help, when Vera was attacked I was surprised how long it took for help to arrive

The brutal murder of the young woman and the hit and run being linked was interesting but how tragic that the first was mistaken identity and discovering they were both killed by the scorned wife because her husband was cheating with the hit and run victim was a surprise but I was glad she talked down from kill her own kids

codebreaker

What a stroke of luck Vera was with the boyfriend when Karen rang after their abducted but wrong size feet was an amusing twist and the explanation about the foot made sense, linking the customs guy allowing the human trafficking in the country to the same guy taking the girls was great but what a tragedy the guy was Mira's brother who survived the devastation back home only to die in her arms

The gang of boys and girls trying to save the burning person after they jumped into the water was brave as it was at night and the ex girlfriend say thank God after being told he was dead was a surprise but after her explanation you can understand why but the gay hairdresser not letting Kenny leave without a hair cut was amusing

The victim being murdered after filming and stalking the hen party girl was disturbing but the fact he was still alive when the paramedics tried to revive him was sad and finding out he was killed because he thought his wife was having an affair when he was actually her son was a surprise

I thought he kids finding Shane's body was lucky as it could of been a while before it was discovered that far of the track but Sassi disposing the guns was surprising and Louis being the one who accidentally shot him was a bigger surprise

codebreaker

The victim being identified by his suit was different and other than his shoe laces being tied together you would think it was suicide but allowing the suspects to carry on as normal when they found out he was working as an informant for Revenue and Customs was surprising as Vera was keen to interview them, the victim allowing his son to take the blame for a his drink driving accident was incredible as he was also having an affair with the dead child's mother
