Verdict
The best episode of the series so far. Despite the lack of Immortal foe, 'So Shall Ye Reap' is a tightly plotted story, with some excellent characterisation from the leading actors. The flashback is beautifully handled - especially Amanda's reaction to the events unfolding around her. It's also good to see the chemistry between Nick and Amanda get better and better. B+
