'Endeavour' Season 6, Episode 3 Recap: "Confection"

Morse and Thursday team up to solve a poison pen case on Endeavour, but as the investigation of Fancy's murder comes to a head, they find themselves on opposite sides.

Mrs. Neal: She worked in the Jelly Room!

This week's Endeavour opens with an actual bang, first in the small town of Chigton Green, where Mandy-Jane Bell is cut down with a shotgun on her way to work at Creswell Sweets, and then again during a morning of foxhunting at Creswell Hall, when factory owner Greville Creswell turns up having taken a shotgun blast to the skull. (The ugly view of Downton Abbey on full display here.) The latter is found first when his horse returns riderless and is quickly identified as a murder by DeBryn, one blast to the chest to knock him off the horse and second to the face at point-blank range. The former is discovered after the local Constable, Potter (Oliver Farnworth), reports her husband, Rennett, was seen driving fast, shotgun in hand, in the direction of Creswell Manor.
