Will can't shake his infatuation with Maya, even as he continues to investigate odd deaths with Geordie in Grantchester:
is the fiancée of Geordie’s new boss, Elliott. He petulantly meets her to say goodbye; things will never work. They end up sleeping together again.
Melanie had brought Lester home after he cut himself badly on a paper knife—hence his bandaged hand. But he bled out from his neck, where a pellet had lodged. When he turned in bed, it shifted and he began to bleed. It probably came from a child’s gun. The switchboard operator reveals that Melanie was actually called by a woman named Betty Rose, not Lester. Betty runs a brothel; Lester frequented it. He was with Betty when his drink suddenly shattered, cutting his hand, so she phoned Melanie. Geordie and Will find a pellet gun amongst the toys of a child playing in front, but the boy says Betty had sent him to buy candy that morning—he’s the son of one of her prostitutes.
Jack is afraid Mrs. C is abandoning him. She has been irritable, won’t kiss him, and has been going to “bingo” frequently. Leonard investigates, and sees Mrs. C meeting a man at the vicarage. After he leaves, Leonard marches in to find Mrs. C drinking and blasting jazz. The man is her doctor, and she is frightened of her poor health. She will find out tomorrow whether she has uterine cancer, and asks Leonard to accompany her.
Bonnie also sees Will with Maya and asks him about her. They discuss love: her husband died, but she’s not sure she’s ever been in love. Neither of them understands what happened between Geordie and Cathy. Maya could make use of a long lunch—or any period of time away from her fiancé. Will finds her waiting for him in the churchyard, and they once again spend the night together.
