And this final episode also sees the long awaited comeuppance for the crooked clairvoyant Henry Swales, when he discovers nothing is more fearsome than a woman scorned. But just how his downfall comes about is what makes it all the more satisfying, as it's something that I didn't foresee. He really should of paid more heed to his visions...
