DS Annie Cabbot had to be written out as actress Andrea Lowe was pregnant.
Just as the show began with Cabbot arriving from Internal Affairs and having an antagonistic relationship with DCI Banks.
DI Helen Morton (Caroline Catz) has been bought in as her replacement by CS McLaughlin.
Trouble starts as a dead body is found and DCI Banks is missing.
So Morton takes over the murder investigation. She grates her new colleagues because Banks has become a person of interest. His address is found in the dead woman's car.
Banks meanwhile is looking for his younger brother Roy. He received a phone message from Roy and he has skipped work. Maybe Banks should had called CS McLaughlin to make his absence clearer.
The episode began with Roy calling Banks and a dead woman is in the car. The assumption being that Roy is in trouble as he killed her.
This is the murdered woman Jennifer Lewis that Morton is investigating. She somehow holds Banks in the frame on the flimsy basis that Lewis had Bank's address.
This is a hollow episode that bends over backwards so Morton and Banks start off in the wrong foot.
I do not know where CS McLaughlin found Morton. If she was in the same police force then I am surprised she has never come across Banks before. She certainly seemed surprised that Bank's colleagues are loyal to their boss.
