'Grantchester' Season 6, Episode 5 Recap: To Serve

Leonard's court date is upon us on Grantchester, and the church is handling about as well as can be expected. The Bishop (Stuart Bowman) turns up and fires him, withdrawing his license and all. Will wants to stand for Leonard in court, but Leonard refuses; after all, doing so would cost Will his job on top of everything else. Instead, Jack will stand for him, which displeases Mrs. C. But Leonard seems to have found his center, telling Mrs. C he's glad she knows. Had she not, she would have never truly known him. Daniel gives him a St. Anthony's necklace, patron saint of lost things, to help him find his way. Geordie thinks Leonard will be ok; he'll get off with a fine and a lecture, he's got a good barrister, etc.

Geordie: You're right; God really does have all the answers.

Meanwhile, there's a bank robbery in progress, and Will wants to punch something bad enough he'll drive Geordi's car hell for leather through Grantchester and then chase the suspect Malcy Smith (Tyger Drew-Honey) down on foot and get in a full-on fistfight. The suspect insists he's innocent, refusing to talk without his lawyer, "J Richards," but the body under the wheel of the getaway car says otherwise. An elderly lady, Mary Conner, has been killed, and her husband Bill (Sidney Kean) is utterly devastated. To the point where Larry can't get an autopsy done because he won't leave.
