Overview
- Forensic tests linking Theo's blood to a brooch found at the scene led to Summer Spellman being arrested and formally charged in the latest episodes.
- A flashback that aired Friday showed Tyrone Dobbs did see Summer leaving Theo's flat while Theo was still alive but later lied to DS Lisa Swain when asked to corroborate Summer's alibi.
- DS Lisa Swain accepted Tyrone's denial and proceeded to charge Summer, a decision that has been presented on screen as hinging on the brooch evidence and Tyrone's statement.
- Viewers have reacted strongly and widely speculated that Tyrone's silence is protecting his involvement in a prior garage incident in which a car fell on Carl Webster, a theory amplified across social media and press coverage.
- Series producer Kate Brooks has confirmed the identity of the killer will not be revealed until late June or July, extending the whodunnit and keeping questions about police procedure and potential wrongful charging central to the plot.
