The plot thickens significantly regarding the shooting from the premiere. The chase to find Grace creates a palpable sense of dread throughout the episode. The writers do an excellent job of making the landscape feel both like a sanctuary and a trap. The isolation of Shetland, usually a character in its own right, becomes a hindrance when trying to protect a witness who doesn't know who to trust.
The episode takes a significant detour to Glasgow , as Perez follows Connor’s father, Danny Cairns , into his "murky past". It is revealed that Danny was a corrupt police officer from Ayrshire who served time for his involvement in the death of a drug dealer named Pepper Waldron.
The heart of this episode—and arguably the season—is the friction between Tosh and Calder. In Episode 2, we see this relationship tested. Tosh, usually the empathetic grounding force, is struggling to adjust to being the senior officer in the station while simultaneously navigating the acclimatization of Calder.
