First, there was his decision to hide Edgar\u2019s memory stick. Then, there was the choice to have his son take the wrap for its contents, with the pair both believing it to contain pornography but not knowing it was child pornography.<\/p>\nThen, there was the decision to backtrack and literally \u201cswear to God\u201d that it was his. Then finally, there was the decision to lock Janice in the basement having, somewhat unintentionally, pushed her down the stairs.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the series airing, David Tennant had teased that his character made \u201ccatastrophically bad decisions<\/a>\u201d in the show \u2013 and it\u2019s fair to say he wasn\u2019t exaggerating.<\/p>\nIn truth, the answer to the question is simple \u2013 he did it to help those he cares about. He first takes the memory stick because he knows Edgar has been self-harming and fears what he will do to himself if his mother catches him with it. He later protects him by not disclosing his identity to Janice for similar reasons.<\/p>\n
Making his son take the wrap for the pornography was to avoid embarrassment, and everything else was done to protect his son who, upon even the slightest implication of a connection with the real contents of the memory stick, would be marked for life.<\/p>\n

With Janice now stuck in the basement and believing firmly that the memory stick belonged to Ben, it\u2019s certain that if she was released she would go to the police with the information and Harry\u2019s story, no matter how true, may struggle to hold weight, especially given his actions at the end of the episode.<\/p>\n
Mary has already made clear to Harry that none of his suggested fixes, which involve freeing Janice, will work without implicating himself or Ben. Meanwhile, Janice has made clear that she can\u2019t imagine a way they could let her go.<\/p>\n
At an event attended by RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press ahead of the series airing, Moffat said the show was borne out of a couple of simple premises, one of which was: \u201cCould I possibly ever kill someone?\u201d<\/p>\nAfter deciding he wouldn\u2019t kill for money or gain, and saying he would like to think he wouldn\u2019t kill an innocent person to save his own life, a further question he asked was: \u201cWould I kill another innocent person to protect my child?\u201d, to which he said the answer was, \u201cYes\u201d. He called it \u201cthe gaping hole on the side of morality\u201d.<\/p>\n

Grieff is clearly a brilliant man and seems restrained and clear-minded. He doesn\u2019t display any psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies, yet nor does he protest his innocence, so why did he commit such an act of violence?<\/p>\n

The major connective tissue comes from Lydia West\u2019s character Beth, who first appeared in an opening scene in which she met and struck up a connection Janice, before visiting Grieff to do a report on him.<\/p>
At the end of the episode, we see that Janice sent her a blurry image while she was being attacked by Harry, but as her phone is now broken there\u2019s no opportunity for further communication between the two.<\/p>\n
Beth has set up another meeting with Grieff, but with only a very blurry image and Grieff unable to travel, how will he be able to help with the case of what\u2019s happened to Janice? And will he and Harry ever interact (just so we can see David Tennant and Stanley Tucci face off)? We\u2019re sure more will become clear when episode 2 airs tomorrow.<\/p>\n
