'Grantchester' Season 5, Episode 4 Recap: Mental Health & Therapy

This week's Grantchester begins with a young man running naked in the middle of the street. He passes Geordie and Will on their way to the pub for some backgammon, and Geordie nearly gives chase. But Will assumes it's "high spirits" among the college crowd. He's wrong. The kid is soon screaming about aliens as he passes by the wide-eyed old ladies, and by the next day, his body is found on the fens.

Geordie is livid, though more with himself that Will, but it doesn't stop him from taking it out on Ellie when she turns up, asking if this is the same kid seen running through town. But she's already tracked down the kid's identity: Chris Hartley. She gives the info up in exchange for dinner with Will.
