The plot holes are so big you could drive a truck through them which impacts the episode and the series overall:
1. The murder at the hotel - This is never mentioned again even though the most basic of investigation would show Ian was involved and subsequently would be a suspect in what ensues.
2. The phone call between Zoe and Luther proving he could not be the killer based on the cell towers his phones used during the call proving he wasn't close by when she died.
3. Luthers call to his boss saying Ian had hurt Zoe, again showing he wasn't close to the crime when it took place. It was also a weak attempt to explain transference but not why he chose Ian. No one even questions Ian.
4. Luther turning up to meet Ian with a knife in his pocket knowing that Police marksmen would be there. If his plan was merely to stall for time while his plan unfolded then why bring a knife and force his partner to intervene.
I could go on but suffice it to say this was the worst written episode on the entire series. I'm not sure i can get past it enough to watch the next season.
