Foyle's War 2.2: Among the Few

[meganbmoore]

This episode dealt with Foyle learning that petroleum was being stolen from the government, resulting in Sam eventually going undercover to learn who was behind it. The plot wasn’t as interesting as the last episode’s, but it had a lot of fun character stuff for Sam and Andrew, whose girlfriend worked for the company Sam worked undercover for.

Foyle and Milner weren’t around much (I think Andrew had more screen time than the two of them combined) but what they had was choice, especially when talking about how their temporary driver didn’t get them places as fast as Sam, but also didn’t talk as much.

I have mixed feelings regarding the resolution. On the one hand, I kind of really love how the petroleum plot turned out, and the motives of one of the “villains,” but I’m less thrilled with the resolution of the murder plot that shows up later. Like the racist man and his wife in Fifty Ships, though, it makes sense for the time period, and was handled well. And, as always, I love Foyle’s method of dealing with it.
