The main plot in this episode involves Police Constable Penhale and his ex-wife. She now knows that she's had a memory loss and is divorced from Joe and you slowly realize why she left him--he's a complete weenie and a wimp. So, he tries pathetically to convince her he isn't--by arranging to have folks have fake confrontations with him. Then, she'll see him behave manly and want to stay. Oddly, this does work...for a while.
Additionally, Louisa is at her wits end. A lot of kids come down with poisoning at school and Martin cannot identify the cause at first. And if this isn't bad enough, Martin keeps telling her how to discipline the kids and tells her they're all ill-behaved monsters! And, to further alienate himself from her, Martin arranges for a christening without telling her first!
This is a pretty typical sort of episode though not quite as memorable as many from season five. Worth seeing, though.
