It was that synths are not supposed to be able to lie, therefore when Niska said she wasn't a synth, then she couldn't be a lying synth.

I assume they've known each other for years. In the flashbacks when Mia is in the water helping a boy, I assume it's Leo she's saving.

Was there anything after that before the ad break?
My record went to a mess of digital gibberish. I could rerecord from Four7 tomorrow but for the sake of less than 30 seconds, doesn't seem worth it.


Still at it, I see.
Love the refs though.

I wondered about that too, at first I thought she might be like Leo-part human, part synth-just with more synth than human but now I think it's more likely that she is completely synth, just better at hiding. So it could well be that she projects a fake heartbeat/body heat or that she shares just enough to stop the other synths asking her why she's not sharing.


I thought it was because Niska outright said she was not a synth, and one of the universal laws of synths is that they can't lie. So presumably at that point Vera's logic circuits decided that she must have been mistaken about the signals, that being the more acceptable option.

Don't think so, he yelled at Mattie when she wanted to try something, so she didn't try it and she left with Mia. Then Leo stormed out on Max (that might have happened after the ads though, I don't remember).

Cheers.
As long as I haven't missed a plot point.

And yes, the storm out came later, I saw that.

Maybe Voss has worked out how to transmit false data in the 'share' without other synths detecting it as such.

I figured that it's due to sharing. If Niska doesn't share with Vira, was Niska actually there? From Vera's point of view, she has no recorded proof that Niska is a synth.

Same here. I went to bed really worried because Leo has left Max to fend for himself.

Like many others on here I am really enjoying the series far more than I thought I would. I watched it initially because there was nothing much on, now I am well and truly hooked.

And I, like George, am ridiculously over-attached to Odi

Although I know in my heart of hearts that something VERY bad will happen to Leo, because it's Colin Morgan, and it never ends well for any character he plays. Ever

I really hope Leo goes back to get Max.


Poor Odi

Ha! So true.

A Police detective is a risky job for a synth to do. She could easily be injured, or even just trip and fall in the line of duty. Won't people notice she bleeds blue?

Though maybe she's got red 'blood'.

Did anyone else feel uncomfortable when she ate the chip? I could just see it sat in that bag. Barf. She must have rank breath and people are too polite to tell her.

If these synth's are as capable as they appear, then they'd be less likely to trip over and fall, and likewise would be more aware of their surroundings.

There's a chance she'd get shot, but then, dodge the bullet?


There's probably something in the bag that helps with that.

I'm mostly being tongue in cheek, as you have to suspend disbelief when you're watching a show about synths...

Going by how heavy the parallels are elsewhere in the show, I have a sneaking suspicion that "Tom" may also have drowned.

My number one wish for the rest of the series is that they use the code on Odi and make him a real boy.

Did any one find out about the lady cop? I didn't catch All of this last ep

The idea that they are dead humans is gross. Surely they wouldn't make a programme like that? I hope it is just code!

It hadn't occurred to me that Odi could move himself from the way he was lying but yeah I suppose you could be right. I think there might be more to it and a synth is involved somehow.

So we reckon cop synth could do everything in her synth brain but is doing 'human' style investigation so as not to get found out? I wonder why she wanted to be a cop in the first place. There must be a synth related reason. I was also wondering why she even had food in her flat if she lives on her own! Is that a cover as well?

I still think Tom is Laura's brother who died. I don't think he's related to Leo or Mia.

No, no one has found out that she's a Synth (or if they possibly do know (her Boss for example) we the audience haven't been told).


We still don't know if she was originally part of Leo's group or is from a different source of sentient Synths.

She saw Niska on a video but it wasn't clear if she actually recognised her or not.

Yes please.


I think so, no reason for her to have a less advanced brain than the other synths. Don't know why she would want to be a cop (assuming she wasn't planted there by someone else), but as she has consciousness I suppose it's possible it was just something she wanted to do, the same way a human picks a job. Maybe she got the food and drink in specially after she invited Pete to stay.

I see the blonde phsyco synth Niska now has a job on sky sports.

They are taking over !!

Brilliant episode. Liked Matilda and Leo working together trying to get Anita to remember being Mia, even if it failed.

Liked that they didn't drag out Joe using Anita for sex either, though I wish they'd tell us who Tom is meant to be to Laura at this rate.

Niska and George had some great scenes in the episode too.

Still trying to figure out Voss's motives as well, 8/10

I'm guessing that Tom was also involved in the car accident / drowning scene and that Laura may have played some part in the accident (drink driving or something like that), hence her reaction to the name Tom and the way Anita was adamant that she would keep the younger daughter safe.

I can't help myself


There's a cunning plan in the making here, have something that might mask your own heartbeat etc such that a synth wouldn't spot it, and have a little gizmo to emit whatever frequencies a synth 'leaks' and also to broadcast 'sharing broken, long queue at repair shop, will try again tomorrow'. Then you can walk up to any synth and tell them anything you like because you are a synth and do not lie. Of course being an actual synth which can lie is the key to the city.

"You are required to report for maintenance and urgent security upgrades and we are the temporary replacement completely authentic team here to take over guarding all the money until you get back", what could possibly go wrong?

Good point.


Had the same thought as well as the time1


It's been funny reading people's guesses as to who Tom is, part of me thinks he's nowt to do with synths at all. Then another part of me thinks he's someone who died and was brought back to life as Odi!!

Not a bad episode, one of the better ones so far. You just knew that the fact the Dad had sex with Anita was going to be found out, but considering all the things that's happened to this family since her arrival, you would think that at least one of the parents would be down the shop with her for a refund pretty smart-ish - regardless of what the kids think!!

@myss

Anita saved Toby's life. That curries her favour a bit with the family.

Vera reports in fairly regularly, I'm thinking she might report something odd about Niska and blow her cover.
