(May Contain Spoilers)
There was a lot of shouting in this episode and I began to get very angry myself, but for all the right reasons! There were some moments within this episode that I was hoping didn’t happened and was shocked and therefore angry, like when it was announced before the opening credits that Ryan McGregor (Ian Hart) had died in prison! The rest of this episode follows the aftermath of Ryan’s death and the conspiracy, which later is revealed to be true, that Ryan was murdered, and it was ordered by Kamal (Paterson Joseph). In addition, Meggie (Helen Baxendale) reveals to Sephy (Masali Baduza), Jasmine (Bonnie Henna) and Minerva (Kiké Brimah) Kamal’s illegitimate son Yaro (Luke Bailey), which leads the women on the attack.
Meanwhile Jude (Josh Dylan) convinces Callum (Jack Rowan) to join the Liberation Militia (LM). Enraged by the fear his father was murdered in prison Callum goes on a mission to discover the truth, which leads him to the nice guard’s house. Despite making a deal, Jack (Shaun Dingwall) comes in and shoots the guard saying it is Callum’s fault and they both burry him. Sephy, who is now reeling from her dad’s lies, decides that she wants to give her relationship with Callum a real chance, however Callum appears to have been brainwashed by Kamal and the LM to push Sephy away and become an accessory to terrorism.

Jack comes into the house and shoots the Guard, regardless of Callum making a deal with him
Jack and Callum take the body and burry it in the woods
Callum goes home to Meggie, but pops outside to see Sephy, who confesses her undying love for him and how they should run away
A car comes round the corner, Callum says to Sephy it will never work and drives away with Jude and the LM
Meggie comes outside shouting after the car, standing in disarray with Sephy
I enjoyed this episode, although there was a lot of shouting, I think the tension could been played more internally than completely extrovert. The episode opening was completely shocking with Ryan’s death and I was shook! I was throwing cushions at the TV when Callum joined the LM even after Meggie said to him it would be a bad idea and his father would not want that. I was completely enraged by Jude’s character who just seems to be at the heart to all the pain caused in the series so far, he was the one that set off the bomb and let the dad take the blame and has continued to create terror with the LM, even to the point where he is getting his brother to join! I am excited to see what happens in the last episode, I am sensing however that there will be – and has to be – a second series!
