As Oxford City Police Station closes in the Endeavour finale, death strikes one of one of the station's own.

DeBryn: I'll start with George if I may. We don't want him lying with such company a moment longer than he has to.

The Season 5 finale opens with the inevitable announcement: Oxford City station will be closed down on the 30th of the November. Transfers will come for at least Morse, Strange, and DeBryn to head to Thames Valley, where we will find them 20 years hence in 1987. As for the rest, since the British papers very helpfully headlined the Monday after the finale aired "Who Didn't Survive The Endeavour Finale?", we knew someone wasn't coming out the other side.
