'Grantchester' Season 6 Finale: A Measure of Peace
It's been a dramatic season of Grantchester after the show's year away. From the drama of Leonard's jail sentence and the arrival of a new curate to Geordie's past showing up to haunt him, the season finale has many loose ends to tie up. But one thing it cannot do is change history. Despite Will's bravado speeches, the Church of England is not going to suddenly about-face on the current indecency laws, which will not be overturned for another decade. (Or at least until next season on Call The Midwife.) Moreover, Will is in trouble, and the Bishop plans to do a check-in visit due to Henry's tattling.
Leonard: Mrs. C's a right of passage. We have similar things in prison. You'll come out stronger.
Facing the loss of his job, Will turns to Geordie and police work, riding along when a domestic call comes in, one that asked for Det. Keating specifically. It's the house of music producer Gene Daltry (Tristan Gemmill), whose superstar jazz singer wife Rita (Michelle Greenidge) sports a black eye he insists she got from tripping down the stairs. Gene's friend Dr. Harvey (Gordon Kennedy) is ready to sweep it under the rug, dosing Rita with sleeping pills. The poor maid Dorie (Nneka Okoye) knows the truth, and given the opportunity to return his hat, she slips Geordie a message from Rita: Johnny's business card.
