When his wife and daughter are killed in a hit and run, Leo goes into attack mode. He has been so involved in these kinds of cases and knows how emotions can destroy. He is correct that the police aren't revealing everything, so he goes rogue. This is all connected to an identity theft ring and we will find out more in the second episode. I agree that Leo's actions sort of separate the case from normal forensics.

Intensely depressing, but well made.

I've always considered Silent Witness to be a show that on form has the ability to shock, move and entertain. Ghosts certainly manages to shock, but I question whether it can entertain as it is ultimately depressing, and so sad. Up until this point Leo's character had been a little nondescript, that's not to knock Gaminara, as he's an excellent actor, it's just that Burton completely drowned out his character. This episode effectively hits the reset button for Leo, he's now plunged into trauma and given a huge back story, with all that's happened to him, the character now has a history.
The side story seems almost pointless as Leo's tragedy drowns the rest of the goings on out, Nikki is once again the shining light, but I must commend the performance of William Gaminara, he's excellent.
It's decent viewing, but too grim. 6/10
