The third episode of Grace season 6, Dead Man's Game, saw John Simm's Roy and Laura Elphinstone's Bella investigating a murder on a council estate, while Richie Campbell's Glenn and Brad Morrison's Nick investigated an armed robbery carried out by four masked men.
The two investigations came to a head at the end of the episode, in a terrifying scene which saw Glenn being chased by Chris's murderer Seb, as he transported John to provide information about his stepdad Damian, the ringleader behind the whole operation.
Seb ended up taking both Glenn and John hostage at gunpoint, while Roy and Bella tried to get Damian to call Seb off over the phone.
As Damian spoke to Seb, he betrayed Roy, Bella and John's mum at the last moment, and told Seb to kill them both. Thankfully, Glenn managed to disarm Seb, and they both got out of there alive.

However, even as Damian and Seb were arrested, that wasn't the end of the terror for Glenn. He was called by his wife Ari, who had heard what had happened to him from Roy. As she spoke to him on the phone from their living room, alongside their children, someone pulled up outside on a motorbike.
At that moment, they threw a molotov cocktail threw the winder, engulfing the room in flames. Hearing this over the phone, Glenn scrambled to action alongside Roy, and the two arrived at the house soon after.
Thankfully, Ari and the kids had got out ok, but it was a close call. Glenn and Roy then shared a knowing look.

It seems very likely that this new threat came from someone related to Albazi and the Benchdale gang, after Glenn went to Munich to investigate Sandy's apparent murder.
Can they get enough evidence to convict Albazi and his accomplices, and put this threat behind them once and for all? We'll have to wait and see, as the season continues with one final episode next week.
Grace season 6 will continue on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday 19 April at 8pm. Seasons 1-5 are available to stream in full now on ITVX.
