You're very literal, as well.

You're thinking much the same as me . I thought it first when she was carefully, almost lovingly, washing his body during the bed bath .He washed the body of one of his victims?
Ooo yeah you have a good point! I was also thinking she could be his next victim but thinking again, he might be the victim

I like to think that the nurse is playing him , maybe she's related to one of his victims and she's waiting to take revenge , otherwise it's pretty depressing that yet another woman is just falling for his 'charms'.
The only women who have fallen for his charms are his wife and Rose Stagg, some years ago when they were students before he was married. The victims that we know about, i.e. the ones we've seen, didn't know him. He stalked them and got to know their routines, as we saw in series 1 and as the newly-discovered journals have told Stella and her team, but it's not the case that he charms women, gains their trust and then kills them. We saw with Sarah Kay, whose purse he stole in a bar and then gave back to her, having taken her driving licence so that he had her address, and Annie Brawley, the woman who survived but whose brother was killed as he tried to protect her, how he operates.

I very much hope we're not going down the road either of the nurse helping Spector to escape or becoming another victim, but as he's being moved soon to the psychiatric clinic he will presumably be out of her care.

I agree with others who've commented that in reality it would be most unlikely that he and Rose Stagg would be in the same hospital, and that he'd be more likely to have a male nurse than a nurse who fits his victim type. These are just a dramatic device to ramp up the tension though.

It's not real though. It's a drama.
I thought I had said that in my last sentence.

You just lack imagination and apply Casualty/Holby storylines.


She appears to work the 4-midnight shift.

She hasn't engaged with him at any point about the case.

She's deeply religious and she is fascinated by the idea he has had a glimpse of what 'the gates of heaven' might be like - no idea what you're watching!?

It wouldn't be Spector if he didn't try to exploit that, but that's entirely within the character/nature of the serial killer.
She would not be allowed to engage him in any sort of discussion - both the defence team and the prosecution would both be shouting 'foul' and rightly so. Believe me when I say I know.

We have also got that stupid teenage girl in the mix. What is it with teenage girls? Does she think she can somehow change Spector, make him a better man - it ain't going to happen. Leopards do not change their spots.

You haven't demonstrated a grasp of basic distinctions.

You would have a very red face if you had knowledge of my career path.

Who besides Spector knows she's having a discussion with him ?

Thanks, I thought as much! Don't know why everyone involved are all in the one hospital.

Please can you tell me what was written on the banknote? Camera moved away too quick for me to read.
Is that what the nurse gave him?

And there's a long long waiting list for all of them.

Must find that General one and see if it's open for business.

Thursday and Friday next week. I'm sure he could escape from a place like that.

By acting all sweetness and light with those doe eyes and complimenting her and lying about his memory loss. He's almost acting like the victim not the perpetrator.
He reminds me of Oscar Pistorious

She does and as a professional (allegedly) then she would know that what she is doing is wrong both legally and ethically.

I've given up after this episode, it took the mick with how unrealistic it was tonight.

I mean, a crisp £20 note was still on the pavement after more than 20 seconds?!
