It's a Pyrrhic victory: two lives saved, one life lost, and the mood of the episode, and the feeling of Ross's guilt, is captured by the sad but beautiful hymn at Captain Henshawe's memorial.
Ross has done 'his' version of the right thing, but as ever, that doesn't mean heroics without consequences. One quickly shattered when Euro star Ross and his band of leavers are forced to shoot their way out. When he and Dwight are reunited in the dark and groaning bowels of the PoW camp, it's a lovely moment, brimming with comradeship and hope.

The show has always been eager to show the distinction between 'the right thing to do' and 'what Ross thinks is the right thing to do' – he's not always correct, and after the controversies of series two he's certainly no hero, but he is someone who isn't afraid to help his fellow man even if it risks his own ruin. It doesn't make a jot of sense that a man with a wife, children and a business should risk his life so readily, but if you've been watching since series one, you'll know that Ross is a man who has an irresistible compulsion to follow his moral compass.
They're breaking in and exiting, or 'Brexiting', and with all those guards on patrol it's bound to be a hard Brexit.Īs ever, Aidan Turner delivers preposterous proposals in such an earnest, heroic manner that even the dumbest endeavour sounds like something you'd want in on.
Ross agrees, and has another of his classic ROSS'S RISKY PLANS™ – gather a hardy band, sail across The Channel (one does not simply walk into France) and free Dwight from the PoW camp.
