This is the second episode of the third season of Inspector Lynley, and here Helen (Lesley Vickerage) breaks the news to her husband that she is pregnant. Inspector Lynley is of course excited, but I think the joy of being a father is somewhat dampened by Havers submitting her letter of resignation to DSI Webberley at his wedding anniversary party. It just happens the DSI's wife is played by Diana Hoddinott, who played Annie Hacker in Yes Minister and then Yes Prime Minister.
Inspector Lynley and Havers are called upon to "get the right result" in a hit and run (actually murder) of Eugenie Martin, and they uncover an affair that DSI Webberley had awhile ago with Eugenie.
More murders ensue, and the ending is quite horrifying in many respects, especially when the murderers are revealed, and why.
I felt sorry for Katja Wolff (Joanna Kanska), the innocent au pair who took the fall for a murder all those years ago, and after being released from prison finds herself toiling away in a laundromat in a part of London where the residents of the multi-story council flats that would solidly vote Labour or the Respect Party if you know what I mean.
