Henry Fallon, who is wheelchair bound and is suffering from a neurological disorder, apparently commits suicide and Morse has mixed feelings working on this case as he was once engaged to the dead man's wife, Susan Fallon. The body was found by his son-in-law Peter Rhodes, a local antiques dealer and the victim's wife was in London. When Fallon's doctor advises Morse that Henry didn't have the physical capability to hold a gun to his head, the police realize they may have a murder on their hands. When the police are told that the business arrangement between Fallon and Rhodes had fallen apart, they also have a suspect. Lewis is concerned that Morse is too close to Mrs. Fallon to be objective but in the end, the perpetrators are identified.
五星单独给《炽天使》，高度诗意的故事，Morse不但自己孤独终老，连视同女儿一般的侄女都失去了。读Silvia Plath会让少女轻生吗？嗑药时看到全部的快乐，因此绝无眷恋地去死，可见对她们而言人生继续的意义是一种不满而非满足。办公室挂着巨幅《美狄亚》海报。
摩斯性格越来越讨人厌了
Morse前未婚妻的这一集太惨烈了… 大庄园的悲惨一家人也是凄凉 这一季整体基调都好惨
1.死得其时。Morse曾经的未婚妻登场了，这集的Lewis是天使，Morse又感情用事了 2.幸福家庭。这名字起得真讽刺，全家都死光了 3.意外死亡。出差意大利，众多富人参加大型心理问题培训营，解决问题，原来这么久以前就有搞心理课割韭菜了，课程老板是战地神探的Foyle 4.绝对嫌疑。刚开头有点奇怪，松散的监狱里死了一个诈骗团伙的老头，牵扯出了诈骗案，杀人案，冤案。 5.Drugs和青少年抑郁自杀 推荐第一，三，五集故事，观来让人唏嘘不已，深感遗憾
這一季描寫了不少摩斯少年年輕歷史.從階級角度看，摩斯出身較低但顯然非常聰明，他選擇了強力職業，有文學音樂藝術這些貴族向愛好，這些足夠使他看起來像精英，摩斯追女的眼光手法也有效直接，不過顯然階級躍升不容易，他停滞在無形天花板下
