McDonald & Dodds season 4 finale delivers joy and heartbreak for lead detective duo

As a seasoned cinematic aficionado with a penchant for character development and emotional arcs, I must say that McDonald & Dodds has truly outdone itself in its latest season. The intertwining of personal struggles with professional investigations adds an authenticity to the narrative that keeps me hooked.


During the string of mysterious weddings-linked deaths that shook the city of Bath in the fourth season of McDonald & Dodds, Detective Chief Inspector Lauren McDonald found herself grappling with a wedding-related predicament of personal nature.

Ever since my partner popped the question during our vacation, I’ve been wrestling with uneasy dreams stemming from an unexpected twist in the proposal. The moment wasn’t quite what we’d envisioned together.

At a scenic vantage point as the sun was setting, they found themselves, and then, with a romantic opportunity arising, he knelt on one knee, yet she remained silent with no immediate response.

“He told me he loved me with everything he’s got and I just didn’t say anything,” she admitted.

“I’m not that spontaneous, sarge! I hesitated, and now he’s got the hump.”

McDonald found herself tormented by her indecision and sleepless nights, butting heads with Dodds in front of their peers. However, when the team successfully cracked the case, the detective also found resolution for her personal dilemma.

In the last seconds of the season, she told her companion on the phone, “It’s a affirmative,” followed by an unusual burst of laughter.

Following some turbulent times, McDonald’s found relief as a sense of clarity washed over her regarding what lay ahead.

Should season 5 be approved, let’s cross our fingers for an up-close view of her wedding – and hope that she doesn’t have to respond to duty calls on the day of the ceremony.

In a brief span, Dodds found himself developing a strong bond with photographer Dora Lang, or Victoria Hamilton as you may know her. They shared an intimate moment in a dimly lit space, exchanging a kiss, and afterward, Dora sought to deepen their relationship further.

But the timing just wasn’t right.

The photographer found herself deeply troubled by harrowing sights she encountered on the job, leading to an emotionally devastating breakdown during a challenging time.

Wise and perceptive as he is, Dodds realized that Dora might be in a delicate situation, so he chose not to exploit her, despite his own desire to continue getting closer to her.

And so, they went their separate ways.

But while the parting felt final, perhaps they’ll find their way back to one another one day.

McDonald & Dodds is available to stream on ITVX.
