"Maybe we have been a bit easy on the creep"

Warning: Spoilers
Some nice subtle writing here:As hateful as Donald's actions are, you can tell that in some twisted way he is actually convinced he's doing the right thing.His confrontation with Ailsa is nicely written and played by both of them.Perhaps even better is his scene with Lynn, as he tries to entice her over to his side in a rather sinister manner. Helena Bozich seems to be getting better by the episode, playing the scene in sullen silence until she finally snaps and Donald realises just how she really feels about him.
Celia also gets in on the act and gets a deserved tongue-lashing from Ailsa before getting laughed at by Frank and Roo.And we finally get official confirmation she's Don's sister-in-law after half the audience have spent two weeks thinking they're married.The ending, with the audience genuinely uncertain whether Bobby is responsible for the graffiti or not, is nicely done.
There's a couple of interesting character threads starting here, with the beginning of a closeness between Bobby and Lynn and the beginning of the antagonism between Bobby and Roo.Other business stuff, like more sniping between Tom and Barlow, is perhaps less successful.
