'D.I. Ray's Season 1 Finale Twists & Turns Towards Big Reveals

To no one’s surprise, DI Rachita Ray survived the shooting at the end of the last episode unscathed, and she’s back to finish what she started in the season finale of D.I. Ray. This episode is best served with the knowledge that D.I. Ray has already been renewed for Season 2. Any plot or character developments could carry over. Still, just enough threads are tied up to make it a satisfying season finale, as DC Carly Lake arrives on the scene with paramedics. Ray is unharmed but in shock. It’s safe to assume Ray and everyone else know that PS Tony Khatri is dead, but it isn’t made explicit until a few scenes later.

Ray: I suppose it was the easiest thing to do though, right? People already have preconceived ideas and stereotypes about Asian crime, so it just... worked.

After Ray recovers, she is questioned by Sup. Beardsmore to record the events of the night. He reveals that he knows about her engagement to Martyn, even though she and Martyn had intended to keep it secret. She walks Beardsmore through what happened, omitting the romantic bits but otherwise sticking to the facts. After he turns the tape off, Beardsmore engages in a bit of victim-blaming, implying that Ray is at fault for not knowing that she was being surveilled. Having seen the number of locks on her front door and knowing that the other officers disbelieved her about the attack in her bathtub, anyone with an ounce less professionalism than Ray would be screaming at Beardsmore.
