A child is taken, his mother believes his stepfather has taken him, DS Greig is on the case.
It's quite a murky, nasty story, what has happened to Joe Reynolds, and why on Earth is Barry so shaken up? It's a fine episode, it's a good mix of melodrama and gritty mystery. You have a lot of pity for the situation.
Alistair is perfectly in character here, he's more interested in finding the child, before grabbing an arrest, and boosting his hit rate, he's proving to be the most reliable Detective in CID.
James Bowers is the standout here as Barry, he's excellent here.
Very sad, but very good episode, 8/10.
