The episode starts with plenty of emotion as Ellie is reunited with her son, Tom, and we start to see the collateral damage that has been caused by the trial. Tom is very withdrawn and sceptical, blaming his mother for his father's trial and believing he is innocent. The relationship between Ellie and Tom is mirrored with defence barrister Sharon Bishop, whose Son is currently in prison. Both scenes are deeply touching for different reasons, it's hard not to feel distraught as we see their trials.
We see much more of a progression with the Sandbrook case as the court hearings take a backseat. Miller investigates all possible leads, going so far as forgoing sleep to sort through numerous case files, eventually coming to a shocking discovery. Miller's actions are shored up by flashbacks adding information that makes the whole case much more interesting.

Though the focus of the episode isn't on the Broadchurch trials, we do get to see Susan Wright take the stand after her shock return in the last episode. Her actions are rather comedic in light of the situation, and it highlights Pauline Quirk’s brilliant acting.
This week's episode has a lot of humour, which combined with the bleakness adds a more humanistic tone.. Olivia Coleman does a wonderful job with portraying Ellie Miller’s constant change of moods, and David Tennant’s depiction of blunt and stern DI Hardy is brilliant as always. The episode ends with plenty of important information being brought to light, not just about the case, but about the characters as well.
