Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Andy’s emotional and professional reckoning in Episode 5—‘I’ll be getting my arse kicked down the stairs’—catalyzes his hyper-focus on the Vicky Fleming case in Episode 6. His guilt over the Sean Balmforth debacle extends to the unresolved Fleming murder, as seen in Jodie’s revelation.
