The Finlay of this episode betrays all viewers thought they knew about the eponymous character from the first four. No matter how heartbroken he was over Brenda, he'd shown too much nobility in his professional principles - both in caring for his patients, and by stridently advocating for the humanity of a National Healthcare plan - to risk it all by putting the moves on a married patient, preying on her unhappiness and depression. This unravels the evolving bond with the star that a series usually thrives on.
