Flop Steve loft in lurch

I KNOW there are more riddles on Line Of Duty than there are locks on Jo Davidson’s door, but why wasn’t Ryan Pilkington nicked?

The undercover villain topped a WPC and tried to drown Terry Boyle. AC-12 have clocked him, and his victim had scratch marks on her neck. Surely he’d have got a tug?

Elsewhere, Det Supt Buckells was collared and Steve Arnott turned down sex with Steph, above, though he did manage to have a good old rummage in her loft.

He found the filthy lucre Ted slipped her, but not her wellthumbed copy of How To Speak Scouse Unconvincingly.

The big question: Will Arnott shop Ted before Ted suspends him for drug abuse?
