Two scientists are killed, one of them in front of Holly and Slade. Investigations lead to an old flame of Holly’s, causing friction between the policing team and perhaps to a man who can be in two places at once.
The solution to this particular mystery isn’t very mysterious at all. In fact, it is obvious enough from a fairly early stage what is going on. It was inevitable enough that Slade and Holly would come up against someone with the same advantages that they have. That it should be an old flame is disappointingly melodramatic, but at least works in story terms. It is also less surprising when you consider that this is the last episode of the series and therefore needs a bit extra in order to push for the next (which never came).
Hence, there is conflict between the two leads, a deadly threat, a nick of time rescue and a ridiculously convenient unlocked door on a supposedly secure facility. None of this proved sufficient and the show was not renewed, mainly for reasons of simply not being good enough to deserve to be.
