DI Ruth Calder made a risky move this week. She pushed informant Will Louden too hard. Ruth wanted information about the Callaghan drug syndicate. She needed to identify their Shetland connection. Will had no choice but to come for support. Ruth used emotional blackmail against him. She promised he could see his estranged kid.

The tactics were effective, but they came at a price. Will warned Ruth it was too risky. He was right, and the henchman Mitchell grew suspicious. He followed Will around the city, and Mitchell saw Will meeting with Calder.

He knew Will was the informant, and by the end of the episode, Ruth found Will unconscious. He was pushed against a wall, and it looked like an overdose. But the audience knew the truth. Mitchell had left him, and Ruth's aggressive approach backfired badly.
