After the tragic finale to the previous episode the vigilante killer Tom Marwood sets off after Luther's new girlfriend Mary. He is unsuccessful but Dec Supt Stark thinks that Marwood is trying to help Luther get rid of people who could harm him in return for Luther letting him continue to kill 'undesirables'. This leads to Luther being arrested but he is soon free again when Alice Morgan rescues him from Stark's custody. Meanwhile Marwood has kidnapped the wife of the prison doctor who is treating his wife's killer and Luther and Alice must avoid being arrested themselves while trying to get to Marwood before he can kill again. This leads to a confrontation where Luther must decide which of the two women he cares about should live and which Marwood should kill!
After the sad ending to the previous episode it was great to see things brighten up with the return of Alice Morgan she may be a sociopathic killer but she is a fun character and Ruth Wilson does a great job in the role it was just a shame that the BBC's trailers for the episode spoilt the fact that she was returning to the series. She has a great chemistry with Luther which makes their unlikely friendship more believable. As always Idris Elba put in a fine job in the title role and is supported by a fine cast of secondary characters. The story was as melodramatic as we've come to expect from the series and the finale was exciting and lead to a nice little twist (which most viewers should guess) at the end. Overall this was a fine conclusion to the third series; I hope we get more and if we do I hope Alice becomes a regular character again.
