Many viewers harboured dark fears about Ted Hastings. Surely not Ted? Well, no. But there were undeniably questions to answer, and answer he did. The most affecting interrogation scene yet involved Hastings spilling his secrets relating to John Corbett’s death and Steph Corbett’s money, and trusting in Arnott and Kate Fleming, whose pained, “disappointed not angry” faces were at once amusing and mildly heartbreaking.
