In the season finale of Blue Lights, titled “The Loyal,” Mount Eden becomes a cauldron of chaos as Grace attempts to extricate Henry from Lee’s influence, while Happy finally uncovers the truth.
The episode, airing on BBC One on Monday, 20 May 2024, at 9 pm, promises intense drama as the story reaches its climax. It opens with a shocking incident: Stevie (Martin McCann) and Grace (Siân Brooke) narrowly escape harm when young Henry unintentionally fires a gun at their car. Grace successfully persuades Henry to put down the weapon, but the incident is recorded and manipulated by Lee to turn public sentiment against the police. This sparks a riot in Mount Eden, necessitating a police cordon to contain the furious locals.
Amid the chaos, Rab suffers a cardiac arrest and tragically passes away. Stevie rushes to provide assistance, and forensics uncover crucial evidence—a scarf with blood splatter that implicates Craig McQuarrie in Dixie’s murder. Under interrogation, McQuarrie admits to the crime but insists he acted alone, leading to Lee’s release.
At The Loyal pub, Lee finds himself shunned by the very community he once led. His sister, Mags, turns her back on him, holding him responsible for Rab’s death and other transgressions. Meanwhile, Happy finds a measure of peace as he confronts Robin Graham, who could have prevented the bombing that took his father and brother’s lives but chose to protect his informant. Happy forgives Graham, gaining a sense of closure.
The episode concludes on a hopeful note, with Stevie and Grace sharing a kiss and deciding to explore the romantic connection between them.
