And so now, we must ask again: What is Rivers plan, exactly?

As David tells River, one giveaway is that the stranger called him Gramps, which River never does.

And so he just, well, goes there.

Granted, its his grandpas fault for putting him in this spot.

He doesnt even drink the latte he pretends to want.

(Ineptitude is not limited to Slough House on this show.)

River ends the episode by getting knocked unconscious by a man he assumes is rescuing him.

It seems a fair fate, given his level of preparation for this impromptu boondoggle.

She even makes her an omelet.

The investigation will have to take a more wayward track.

Put it back how it was.

You cant have Pigpen without his cloud.

To what degree, if any, is David Cartwright exaggerating his dementia?

But his confusion and his tears tell a more straightforward story.

As the past connection between David and Lavande comes into focus, surely well learn more.

Lamb knows exactly what River has done before anyone else, of course.

A relapse is a good sign, he assures Shirley.

All part of the process.
