The opening sequence of the episode helps show off Tennant's emotional range, his affinity with Hardy is very nuanced, allowing him to plumb the very depths of his character. Whilst this is going on, Ellie discusses the awful accusations made in trial the day before with her sister, and also talks her through what she should say when she has to stand in court. Meanwhile Mark Latimer seems to have become a family man and talks about taking paternity leave.
This week’s episode is filled with many new pieces of information about both the Broadchurch case and the Sandbrook case, as well as a few surprises. We learn more key information about the Sandbrook case that sheds new light onto old suspects, whilst muddying the waters around others. We also see a character from series one make a shock return bearing evidence with dire consequences attached, potentially putting the entire investigation into disarray.

Ólafur Arnalds creates a wonderful soundtrack, as always, building up the emotion, the tense feelings, the moments of shock, of horror, of confusion. All of the impact the key scenes are meant to make, Arnalds makes it double. Coupled with Ashworth’s steely looks and constantly aggressive stance, you can’t help but feel like there is going to be a surprise at every corner.
This week’s episode gives us more of a look into the Sandbrook case. As Alec and Ellie travel to the titular town to investigate the case at the scene, we begin to learn even more about the people involved; the suspects and victims, even going do far as to introduce Hardy's ex-wife and daughter.
Much of the appeal of Broadchurch is down to the phenomenal acting done by the cast. Not just that of David Tennant and Olivia Coleman, but also James D’Arcy (Lee Ashworth), Eve Myles (Claire Ashworth) and pretty much all of the others, it's very hard to find fault with their performances. With the exciting plot developments and the growing tension and progress of the trial, it is another gripping episode.
