Line Of Duty Series 6, Episode 5: The 12 Burning Questions We Now Have
A major character s life hung in the balance as AC-12 made huge strides in the Gail Vella case.
We don’t know about you, but we are currently drenched in sweat after that ridiculously tense ending to Sunday’s Line Of Duty.
DI Kate Fleming’s life hung in the balance as she had an armed stand-off with Ryan Pilkington in the final moments of the episode, before two shots ominously rung out.
The moment came at the climax of the most shocking episode yet, which also revealed DCI Joanne Davidson is related to former OCG boss Tommy Hunter – as many fans correctly predicted.
Rotter Ryan Pilkington finally showed some nerves this week as the young scallywag turned bent PC realized that his crimes might have caught up with him. Kate knew her AC-12 surveillance protection had been removed, but she was able to bluff Ryan into believing that it was still in operation and the young lad’s death stare finally cracked.
But would Ryan’s sudden bout of fear have made him twitchy on the trigger? Or did Kate mean it when she screamed a final warning at Ryan to drop his weapon?
Both characters have been deliberately left off the cast lists for next week’s episode, so there’s no sneaky way of learning who made it out alive.

Line of Duty, we promise ourselves we’re not going to fall down the same rabbit hole. Not going to start a splinter WhatsApp group to do a running commentary as each episode airs. No rewatching previous series for new hints and tips. And definitely no getting into deep AC-12 theories on Reddit into the early hours of the morning.
So, here we are, bleary-eyed and wondering whether it s time to plaster the dining room walls in whiteboards and red string. After last week’s bombshell episode – prison breaks! Murders! Blackmail! – we were left with the ultimate cliffhanger: DCI Joanne Davidson is revealed to be related to somebody on The Hill’s DNA database. Who could it be? And does it offer any clues about who H is? Time to get our tinfoil hats on.
