I agree with the other posts about the tame and slow plot. I rather found that a relief though, instead of sitting through so many absurd and graphic murders.
There is the razor blade incident which is apparently Joyce's first time as witness to death, as she takes it very hard. It will be one of many that she is witness to as we know, she gets quite used to dead bodies and murderers in the coming seasons.
The Catholic church features again, this time in a polite and quiet manner which was again refreshing.
Cully tells Troy (on their first meeting no less), "this is not the theater" at the start of the play which I found confusing. Was she already being so pretentious?
This episode finds Troy actually being praised for his input into the case rather than mocked, another nice difference!
A smaller story line about a gay couple, a bit of skin shown, an adulterous affair, greed, pride, theft, and the murders, of course, round out this episode. Ignore all that and you've got the wholesome justice-fighting and cozy warmth of Barnaby's home life to make it worth the view.
