After having been disappointed with last week's episode, I wasn't looking forward to this one, but it was really good. I wonder if she was the 'one that got away' because he never married did he.
I think Thursday had been told he only had 3 weeks to live as the bullet was too close to the heart to be removed (in last week's episode I think), but then he coughed it up, which leaves him available for s follow-on series (if they decide to do one). The daughter left because of the trauma - but could be because she knew Morse didn't love her enough???
Didn't Morse once say he's been engaged to a Susan at University and didn't she turn up in the episode where a man kills himself but makes it look like the son-in-law had done it? She was his wife, played by Joanna David, she killed herself when their plot unravelled.
In the episodes of Morse, we were introduced to several of his 'loves' all of who got away for one reason or another......I just can't place 'Miss Thursday'.
