The episode opens with a group of female clergy receiving the sacraments from a furious vicar. They then escort a friend who is sitting an exam to class where she begins the test. A few moments later she collapses to the floor. An autopsy reveals that she has been poisoned.
The investigation focuses on a group of clergy who are opposed to women in the ministry and the application of the victim to become the first female chaplain of St Saviour's College. Meanwhile Morse is attracted to Emma Pickford, played by Zoë Wanamaker, the leader of this group.
The investigation then leads to a weight loss clinic and a disgruntled client whose behaviour grows increasingly bazaar.
This is not the best episode of Morse. Parts of it were just plain strident. However, I enjoyed the chemistry between Morse and Pickford and the continuing struggle Morse has to find love.
