The church comes out as rather villainous here. However, they are not the only club in town and if their belief system seems exclusive, we need to respect it, to some degree. Morse finds himself in the middle of an effort to keep a young woman from entering the priesthood. She has been attacked and then dies while taking exams. The good thing about this is that it isn't simple church versus changemaker. There are other issues, including a mentally ill young woman who has been persecuted. We have again a case where Morse is taken with a striking female vicar. He never seems to have trouble getting dates with younger, attractive women. In the past he has had the bad luck to see them murdered, playing spy games, or simply being criminals themselves. This one is really an interesting choice.
