May be the best episode of the series.

A serious drama with a villain you will hate. It actually makes you nervous and uncomfortable to watch.

Kind of a dark, tense, violent one.

Warning: Spoilers
This one gives up some of the comedy and light moments, for a dark, tense, violent episode. A man Steve put away is paroled and he wants revenge against Steve.

What ensues is a cat-and-mouse game between Gualt and Steve as Gualt has figured out how to play the system. He stalks Steve and gets a job at the hospital and stalks Mark and Amanda. Great job by Jack Coleman playing Gualt as almost a soft-spoken charmer with an underlying violent streak. Mark was right when he called Gualt a psychopath.

They had some very violent scenes between Gault and his girlfriend, and later with another character where he implies a very sick and twisted plan.

It's very tense because there is little Steve can do as a cop as Gualt has a restraining order against Steve. Steve is suspended and the gang just doesn't know what Gualt will do next and how to catch him.

Anyway, an intense one that kept me glued to the screen in order to see what would happen. 9/10.

Great episode

Warning: Spoilers
Some of the second series feels a bit flat and aimless, but this episode definitely stands out.

This show is usually quite fluffy and a blend of humour and drama, but rarely is it serious. I wondered if it didn't do serious because it just couldn't manage it. That's never bothered me, I like the lightheartedness and occasional silliness of the show.

This episode definitely surprised me, though. There's very little humour in this episode, but it's very well written and the actors really shine.

I really enjoyed this episode, Jack Coleman is the perfect combination of menacing and manipulative, but with so much charm, he's just fantastic. Probably my favourite out of the second series.

An incredibly dark episode of Diagnosis Murder

Warning: Spoilers
This isn't a winsome Diagnosis Murder episode that one usually expects.

It deals with domestic violence and revenge on Dr Mark Sloan. It's a dark episode, and one thing I remember are the night scenes in the phone booth which really added a chilling aspect to this intriguing episode.

Definitely rated M. This episode is not for children.
