'Endeavour' Season 4 Finale Recap: "Harvest"
Endeavour's fourth season finale brings the autumnal equinox and the tarot cards, as ancient rites play out in the shadow of progress. Let's check the readings. The Empress: Joan; The King of Swords: Thursday; The Ace of Wands: Endeavour Morse. The Devil... Well, I suppose that's in the details, no?
Thursday: Time of death?
DeByrn: Two thousand years ago.
Bright returns to the office after surviving Bed #10 last week. First order of business: a dead body that's been found right where the prologue scene set in 1962 left off. It's a missing persons cold case, one Matthew Laxman, who disappeared after being run off the road. The dead body, it turns out, has nothing to do with it, but Laxman's glasses turn up, chewed to hell. After talking to Laxman's wife, who hated him, Laxman's BFF, Professor Donald Bagley, and Nigel Warren, a homeless preacher who Laxman gave a lift to before disappearing, Thursday sends Morse into the town of Bramford to make inquiries.
