Everybody has something to hide. Everyone has an opinion on who is to blame for what has gone wrong. Everyone knows who should be doing a better job. They all worry that their future is in jeopardy. None of them seem to have a clue as to what is going on. There seems to be a desperate lack of understanding about why some difficulties befall them. About all they seem to agree upon is that the murder of Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) came about none too soon.
