I was once again satisfied, similar to the previous episode. The atmosphere worked, the plot maintained its pace, I got my share of action, intrigue, and other intricacies. However, I must admit that the Cornish costumes made me almost despair. I thought I would only appreciate the episode with four stars, but considering that the creators did not hold back with ecclesiastical potentates and regulations, I happily added a fifth piece. ()
