Yes, that was how I saw it too ... he needed the time and space to kill himself without drawing attention to the act, so where better than behind the locked door of a cell.
I had really worried that the ending to this was going to be a let-down, but these last two episodes were superb and shocking.
I said to my OH quite early on tonight, 'He's going to provoke the ginger lad into killing him (Paul)' I wasn't accurate, but along the right lines in that Spector used him as a pawn. As soon as Gibson said she'd wanted him to survive to see him brought to justice, and he looked back at her with the merest hint of a smile, I knew then he was going to kill himself ... both to avoid jail and to spite her.
