7/10

Warning: Spoilers
People on IMDb seem to have really liked this episode. I personally thought it was off the wall and that Russell Lewis, the writer, needs a rest. The first episode of this season was a Gatsby/Prestige ripoff and now this.

A young woman disappears during the night. DI Thursday wonders if it's connected to a case from a few years earlier when another attractive young woman was attacked and went into a coma. The attack took place on the same road as the current one, the site of a night school.

The caretaker claims not to have seen her. A park keeper gave her a lift, which he doesn't tell the police about right away because he doesn't want to get involved. He finally says he dropped her off near Wytham Woods.

Then a man goes swimming and all that's found is his arm. YUCK. Then another one dies, and his tent is found torn to bits. A big cat is supposedly in the area.

There's a replacement now for DI Jakes - Sgt. Strange; Thursday seems ill and goes after a prisoner; and he wants Morse to apply for a promotion. We also see a new side of Superintendent Bright.

The tiger was absolutely beautiful, magnificent, and the effects were excellent. I just found the episode strange. The acting, of course, is always good. Had a tough time buying this one, particularly the explanation at the end.
