If your nerves can cope... it’s not over yet
C’MON NOW FELLA, IS HASTINGS H?
At this time, the answer seems to be NO. Yes, he did hide his laptop in the computer shop because he knew that it would be seized. There was incriminating evidence on it – but nothing that would expose him as a criminal mastermind. In fact, he was looking at porn.
WAS ‘DEFINATELY’ DEFINITELY A CLUE?
Yes. Ted intentionally copied H’s spelling mistake when he was posing as H. His superbrain noted and retained that bit of information. Yes, even in the middle of this complicated investigation.
WAS LISA MCQUEEN (ROCHENDA SANDALL) AN UNDERCOVER COP?
No, just a gang boss with shaky hands. Although she has entered a witness protection programme in return for giving the police evidence about the OCG, she kept one utterly crucial piece of information from them. She told the cops that it was Miroslav Minkovic (Tomi May) who killed Corbett, before he was killed himself. Actually it was Ryan Pilkington (Gregory Piper), who is now a police cadet and certain to cause mayhem in the next series.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEY?
Hastings somehow hid half of the £100,000 planted on him by Gill Biggeloe via Mark Moffat. In final scenes he was spotted near the graveside of DS Corbett, where his grieving widow was paying her respects. He was carrying a package under his arm, presumably to give to her and presumably containing the £50,000.
Oh, Ted! You are a hero after all.
