'Grantchester' Season 6, Episode 3 Recap: "White Knight"
The third episode of Grantchester Season 6 opens in the interrogation room, as Geordie and Larry grill a suspect in their latest case. But this is no ordinary case or suspect: It's Leonard, who has been brought in on Bryan's accusations. Worse, Geordie is grilling him on an evening he himself witnessed about a "crime" he knows full well Leonard is guilty of, dating Daniel Marlowe.
Leonard: You are a wonderful idiot sometimes.
It's uncomfortable all around, made even more so by Larry. The series gives the thankless role of embodying actual police tactics of the era, intimidation, and threats of physical violence against those from the LGBTQ+ community. That this is how the series opens makes it clear that, once again, this week's murder mystery is secondary to the real drama of the Grantchester parish, the Archdeacon's threats to remove Will from his position, and Mrs. C's righteous disappointment.
