“Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked.

Scene 11: (09.02-09.55) Charlie interviews Edna in her home, who corroborates that Jess visited her last night. Charlie notices Edna's morphine, she also has cancer, and discovers that her care nurse is Matt, Terence's brother, who gives her the morphine injections.
Scene 12: (09.56-10.43)
Back at the office Charlie tells Martha that Matt is Edna's care nurse and knows how to administer morphine and that she had traced him to a casino last night but no sign of him now. Jack tells them forensics had found Terence has definitely drunk something laced with Henrietta's sleeping pills and a mug had been found with a powdery residue, from which fingerprints had been deliberately wiped off.
Martha "It doesn't sound like an assisted suicide Jack"
Jack "No, it's looking like an attempted murder"
Scene 13: (10.44-11.02)
Martha points out that someone removed the syringe from the house, if they can identify it was Henrietta, it will "deconstruct her alibi", but Charlie reports back to Jack and Martha that sleeping tablets were found in Henrietta's system.
Scene 14: (11.03-11.35)
Jack interviews Henrietta again, in quite an aggressive manner, pointing out the evidence of sleeping tablets in Terence's coffee cup
"You and Terrence were alone in the house, he can't walk, he can't feed himself, you had the sleeping tablets, the sleeping tablets are in his system. Explain that. "
Henrietta passionately reiterates she did not give him the sleeping pills.
Only thing that bothered me, was that Jack seemed to make Henrietta confess, surprisingly gentle way but he tried. Why was that.. was it part or the plot? Anyway. Seems that weird that Jack was interviewing her only.
Charlie does a lot of good investigation work and often comes up with pivotal evidence. Jack too, and I do still sense that edge where they compete with each other on that in this episode, and when Charlie said there were sleeping pills in Henrietta's system (thereby verifying her alibi of being asleep) he seems almost disappointed... as if he really wants to be right and for her to be the perpetrator...and for it to be attempted murder
and in his next interview is even firmer with her:
"You and Terrence were alone in the house, he can't walk, he can't feed himself, you had the sleeping tablets, the sleeping tablets are in his system. Explain that. "
But I hate to say, the ending started to become a bit obvious at this point.

It's like he's pushing her to confess because he wants to be right and for the case to be wrapped up. It came off as kind of lazy, which I don't think he is.

agree, it id feel he was pushing her, but it didn't feel to me because he was lazy.. more that he wanted to be right and was finding it hard to move on to the next evidence a bit
Jack has been through Terence's mobile phone history. He has made a lot of contact with the rectory at St Sebastian's church. He had a call with Dr Standish yesterday afternoon as well as a 30 min call from the fraud dept at a credit card company, who said that it was to do with a credit card that was completely maxed out with no repayments made on it, but T denied all knowledge of the card. Jack wonders if someone who has access to T's flat is defrauding him for money.
Scene 16: (12.23-13.09)
Jack tells Charlie the credit card has solely been used for withdrawing money from ATMs and questions whether Matt and jess Holland have access to the flat, indicating his suspicion that they could be suspects now. Martha calls them n to her office to tell them Matt has been found sleeping off a hangover on a park bench.
Scene 17: (13.10-14.19)
Jack interviews Matt, who says he was at a party last night. Jack asks why he is not providing Terence with any are himself considering it is his field of work as a care nurse, Matt replies it is too much for him to take on, but his brother has the best care money can buy with a private GP
Scene 18: (14.20-14.41) Charlie interview Jess, who seems surprised about Matt being found on a park bench and says they are saving up for a flat.
Scene 19: (14.42-15.25)
Jack has further info on Terence's bank account and financial transactions, a payment of £12,000 was made to Dr Melanie Standish after the phone call they had yesterday afternoon. Charlie questions if that is T paying her to help him end his life. Martha points out it is not enough money for a private GP, which is a highly lucrative career, but wants her movements corroborated fro last night.
Scene 20: (15.26-16.15)
the team watch cctv footage of Dr Standish, which shows her bumping into Terence's neighbour who said she seemed tense and stressed out. Charlie makes supposition that was because she was on her way to administer a near lethal drug overdose.
Jack points out she was the one who called the police, Charlie suggests so that she can "get in there and corrupt the crime scene". Martha advises to focus on the evidence they do have, the payment of 12,000.
Scene 21: (16.16-16.55)
The Three detectives are in Martha's office. Martha has spoken to the hospital Terence is out of intensive care but heavily sedated. Charlie has found that Dr Standish was subject to an internal investigation 2 years ago when working at a hospital, due to filing a 'do not resuscitate' file for an elderly patient against the family's wishes.
I did suspect Dr. Standish for awhile, but I never felt that Henrietta had it in her. I know it is a mistake looking at the surface, but there felt a lack of malicious intent in her.
Uops, sent too late.

This show have tendency mess peoples minds and make a surprising endings. They bring obvious suspects forward first and then the plot thickens. Sometimes they show real suspect in the very beginning. That's why I can't really trust my instincts who did it, I end up being wrong. I could be terrible detective :D
