Line of Duty fans have been sharing dozens of theories on everything ranging from who Jo Davidson thinks her father was to the identify of the final H.
And now some attentive viewers have suggested that DS Chris Lomax might have dropped a huge clue that he's working for the OCG during Sunday night's episode.
At the end of the latest instalment of series six, Lomax [Perry Fitzpatrick] was seen talking to a crime scene investigator- with some fans saying they recognised the very familiar pub name, The Red Lion, he wanted to head too.

Line of Duty Series 6 so Far (and What It Means for Episode 7)
It's been a bloodthirsty season. Can we expect a big, brutal twist in the grand finale?
By Michael Hogan BBC/World Productions
Line of Duty. By our count, 15 lives have been lost this series so far.
In tribute, we’ve rewound everyone who’s met their maker – from troublesome journalists to snitching rent boys, double-crossed criminals to bent coppers™.
Think of it as a moving “In Memoriam” montage, which also acts as a handy plot recap ahead of next weekend’s grand finale. Strike up the sad orchestral music.

With the sixth series of
Line of Duty approaching its midway point, it seems like things are starting to heat up for Steve Arnott and co.
Episode three features the most memorable set piece of the season to date, as nefarious officer Ryan Pilkington (Gregory Piper) attempted to drown a key witness and fellow police officer after a lakeside car accident. The scene embodies much of what makes
Line of Duty great: it’s unexpected, edge-of-your-seat stuff that manages to sell a ridiculous twist as completely plausible.
Elsewhere, the episode is more subdued, though no less tense. DCI Joanne Davidson (Kelly Macdonald) is proving a wonderfully slippery foil for Arnott (Martin Compston), and the pair’s investigational tête-à-tête is carried over from last week without missing a beat.

An episode that had it all – for better or for worse.
“You know I’m still your best mate, Terry”
Oh, poor Terry Boyle. Used by the OCG – or “cuckooed” as Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) had it – for nine years, he was now deemed a danger to their balaclava-clad dealings and needed to be silenced. A convenient witness had come forward to claim she saw Terry, not Carl Banks, arguing with the dead CHIS, Alastair Oldroyd, in the Red Lion. With Terry back in questioning and nearly spilling all to MIT – “The other man. He did it” – undercover weasel PC Ryan Pilkington (Gregory Piper) attempted to tie up that dangerous loose end.

Spoiler alert: this blog is for those watching series six of Line of Duty (it also contains spoilers from earlier series). Donât read on unless you have watched the second episode of the new series.
Hello everyone â I am determined to get through this week without errors or mixing up episodes so fingers crossed because things are really heating up. We had a murder, an attempted murder, the probable setting up and arrest of Ian Buckells, a surprise sleepover, random drug testing at AC-12, a broken wrist, the discovery of the freezer Jackie Laverty was kept in and the OCG link between her murder and Gail Vellaâs, Steve and Kateâs realisation that Ryan was the kid who attempted to cut Steveâs fingers off in series one and confirmation that Jo Davidson can stay as cool as a cucumber and clearly has links with the OCG. Hang on to your seatbelts and letâs begin.
