Line of Duty #3

[bknd32]

I didn’t like how flippant Kate was about Buckells arrest. It made me very suspicious of her

I don't like the fact Buckells never remembers her name. He's worked with for so long, and ok some of that she was using a fake name but she's been outside his window and his DI for the past year

We saw Ryan's mum in the first series anyway.

Also important to remember that Jo isn't originally from the area she works in.

Her being from outside the area is what has me convinced she is undercover for Operation Pear Tree.

They looked at a number of candidates for the role in the OCG (Corbett) so why not also send someone undercover at the police side as Operation Pear Tree was about uncovering institutional links to organised crime within the police.

So in a nutshell my theory is: Jo is not bent, the DNA link between her and whoever (Tommy I think) is a red herring.

Pretty much her whole career has been based in that area though, she's not recently moved.

I think it will come back to the care system, just purely based on her telling Farida she didn’t have a family, which gives them a lot of room to take liberties with her having seemed to have a career miles away from where her accent is from.

Her police training was in Scotland though.

The accent doesn't mean much if she's professionally clean, people move for work. It would only really mean anything as a connection to Hunter, but then Farida is Scottish too.

I must have missed that bit! I know it said Melton but I didn’t remember that having come up before so I was thinking like Melton Mowbray way

Maybe we are all misplacing Kates apparent affection towards Jo.... maybe it’s like a reassuring look or touch to say I know what you’re going through or what’s on your plate kinda touch.... as in she knows all going on cos Kate is also bent/involved

The way Kate said it wasn’t personal last episode made me think there’s been talking off screen that we haven’t seen yet. Personal could easily mean either that something has been going on between them or be code to mean what’s going on and Kate is involved.

 

[Trey93]

Kate is sucking up Jo’s arse the way she always does when she is undercover. I am so conflicted by Kate being bent or Kate being undercover in some capacity. I don’t think K has genuine feelings for Jo in any way though.

 

[SootySweepAndSoo]

Oooh this’ll be good! Maybe she’s talking after being killed off

 

[JodieB12]

That’s means that the helicopter scene will have to be Sunday if she is?

 

[YellowLadybird]

Oooh this’ll be good! Maybe she’s talking after being killed off

I would find it so hard to remember exactly what has and hasn't happened and not give anything away in a show that goes into so much detail; but it's a lot easier if you haven't seen the scripts past this coming week and are as clueless as the rest of us as to what goes on!

GAHHHH I am SO glad the pubs are back open this weekend... give me that vodka as all this talk of Kate's death is making me need a drink

 

[nbt]

Very true! I wonder how long Jed will drag it through Sunday’s episode before we find out.

Last episode I was waiting for something to happen for ages. I couldn’t relax!! Not that it’s a relaxing series to watch anyway

Good job Line of Duty wasn't around when Neil Armstrong ended up on the moon...

Oh god he wasn't a bent astronaut was he?! Part of the lesser-known cousin of Central's OCG, the ACG (Astronaut Conspiracy Group)?

The ridiculous thing is that I could link all of it to Line of Duty without too much difficulty

Here's a mind-boggling idea - suppose Jo is like John Corbett, so deep under cover to root out bent coppers that virtually nobody knows, not even AC12. And certainly not Wise and Sindrahni. The OCG think she's theirs but she isn't. Or is that too much like Series 5?

That's my theory too

It’s very like series 5 but a really good idea!!
