Tonight is the final episode of season 6, and what a season it's been. After a fairly slow start the drama really ramped up from episode 3 on, and episodes, 4, 5 and 6 were all superb.

And there's still so much to be revealed as we enter what may be the endgame for the AC-12 team. Writer Jed Mercurio is still yet to announce whether there will be a seventh series, so over the next hour we could see all of the loose threads wrapped up.
Chief among them, obviously, is who the mysterious "H" — AKA the fourth man/woman — is. There's been plenty of speculation that it could be the cold-as-Antartica-on-a-very-wintery-day DCS Patricia Carmichael (Anna Maxwell Martin), and based on her attitude and actions so far, we can see why.
But some pundits also seem to think it could be DI Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) — which, if it is true, would be the shock to end all shocks. And Supt. Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) isn't out of the running yet, either.
Aside from that, there's still the question of who killed journalist Gail Vella, while other talking points include whether DS Arnott (Martin Compston) will have to undergo the drugs test he's been avoiding all season (and indeed, whether he'll pass it) and how long DCI Jo Davidson (Kelly Macdonald) will survive behind bars.

Though personally, the thing I'm most looking forward to finding out is whether Supt. Hastings can top last week's exclamation of "Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey!" — possibly his best one-liner in six seasons of them.
All of which is reason enough to drop whatever else you're doing tonight, and settle down to watch Line of Duty season 6 episode 7. Here's how to do that, wherever you are.

Line of Duty fans in the U.S may need to check out a service such as ExpressVPN to watch season 6 of the show, as we can't find it on any streaming services other than BBC iPlayer.
