Line of Duty fans were left scratching their heads after spotting an obvious error in Sunday’s episode.
The blunder came as DI Kate Fleming fled from the crime scene of the shootout along with DCI Jo Davidson.
The scene followed last week’s huge cliffhanger in which Kate, played by Vicky McClure, and PC Ryan Pilkington were seen to draw their guns on each other before gunshots were heard as the screen turned black.
After much speculation on social media, viewers discovered that it was dodgy cop Ryan (Gregory Piper) who had been killed as Kate shot him twice in the chest.
But fans have shared their bemusement as to why Kate would flee the scene and make herself look guilty.
Confused viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “Maybe it’s just me – but why did Kate flee the crime scene? She hadn’t done anything wrong! #LineofDuty.”
Another agreed: “I still don’t understand why Kate needed to flee the scene. They had evidence she’d been lured there, and they knew Ryan was in OCG. So surely it would just be self defence… #LineofDuty”
A third penned: “Don’t get why Kate would flee She was using a lawfully issued firearm and she was responding to an imminent threat with Ryan about to shoot her #LineofDuty #LineofDuty6”
The latest series of the hit BBC cop drama has left fans with unanswered questions on numerous occasions and Kate fleeing was far from the only issue raised in Sunday’s episode.

Other fans also queried if this is the “final final series,” while one also joked about the annoyance of the beep in interviews.
They tweeted: “Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey Rachel! there is only one thing we are interested and that is why has the beep gone from 10 seconds in early series to over 20 seconds now!! OCG action to waste AC12 time?”
While fans continued to question Kate’s actions and the various plot twists, actor Gregory posted a lengthy goodbye message to Instagram.
The actor joked that his character “had it coming” and said: “What an experience. It’s not lost on me how lucky I am.
“Jed Mercurio gave me an absolute gift with Ryan, his scenes and character journey have been the stuff of dreams and I’m so grateful.”
Line of Duty returns to TV next Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.
