If you love British crime dramas, you likely checked out Patience on PBS Masterpiece. It’s hard to believe that we’re already getting to the end of season 1. Both a positive and a negative of British dramas is that they tend to have shorts seasons.
In the Patience season 1 finale, the team will need to investigate the death of a man on a bus. Only, this is something that they’re all encouraged to stay away from, as it looks like this man has died from a contagious illness. Bea isn’t interested in not investigating it, and that brings the entire team on board.
DS Hunter needs to apologize to Patience in Patience season 1, episode 6
We have a sneak peek of the upcoming episode, and it certainly captures the awkward humor that this series has become known for. DS Hunter wants to apologize for his actions at the party, and really, he should have probably just ended it with the apology.
He does himself no favors as he tries to explain what he was laughing at. This doesn’t just make the apology even more awkward, but it completely undermines the apology in the first place.
Patience isn’t really interested in it going on for longer, making it clear what she really thinks of Hunter. She understands exactly what “banter” is, but that doesn’t mean she has to take part in it. She doesn’t see the point in it.
Check out just how this apology goes from bad to worse in this exclusive clip of Patience episode 6:
What to expect in the Patience season 1 finale
The last episode will see one of the trickiest cases so far on the series, as it looks like the man on the bus has died from a contagious illness. However, there is far more to the case than initially meets the eye.
As the team learn that the man has multiple identities, they also learn that he has ties to eco-terrorist groups. This could explain the contagious illness, but what has he wanted to do by getting on the bus? Did he intentionally try to infect people, or is it possible that he didn’t realize what was happening to him?
Also, is the illness the one that the pathologists originally assume? Could there be something much bigger going on in an attempt to attack York?
The Patience season 1 finale will air on Sunday, July 20 at 8/7c on PBS.
