Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The corruption surrounding Gascoigne’s case drives Catherine's disillusionment with the police force. Her act of removing her epaulettes in Episode 6 is a direct consequence of her inability to navigate or change the corrupt system exemplified by Gascoigne’s impunity.
