Ep 4. Episode 4

In episode 4 of Grantchester season 5, viewers are taken on an emotional rollercoaster as the drama unfolds. The episode opens with Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) returning to the village after being away for a few days. He quickly finds himself embroiled in a case involving the death of a local doctor, Thomas Gilbert. This case not only requires Will's detective skills but also his pastoral abilities, as he must comfort the doctor's grieving wife and come to terms with his own grief over the loss of his father.

As the investigation progresses, viewers are introduced to a host of suspects, including the victim's colleague, Dr. John Simms, and his wayward son, Hugo. Meanwhile, Will faces his own personal demons as he struggles to accept the reality of his father's death. He seeks solace in the form of alcohol and finds himself increasingly isolated from those around him.

The episode also sees the return of fan-favorite character Leonard Finch (Al Weaver), who is reeling from a personal tragedy of his own. He turns to Geordie Keating (Robson Green) for support but finds himself unable to open up about his feelings. Instead, he throws himself into the investigation, determined to find justice for the victim.

As the detectives dig deeper into the case, they uncover a tangled web of secrets and lies that threaten to tear the community apart. Along the way, they are aided by the resourcefulness of Mrs. C (Tessa Peake-Jones), who proves once again that she is much more than just a housekeeper.

With its mix of gripping whodunit, heartfelt emotion, and charming character interplay, episode 4 of Grantchester season 5 is a must-watch for both new and longtime fans of the series.
