Summary
WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Episode Two of Grantchester Season 11.
For the past two seasons of Grantchester, actor Rishi Nair has portrayed Reverend Alphy Kottaram through highs and lows, from the confrontational meeting with Geordie upon his arrival at the vicarage, to finally finding a place of belonging. But nothing compares to the roller coaster that is his new relationship with his birth mother, Mira. In this episode, Rishi takes us through Alphy’s latest trials, and how learning the truth about his past shakes him to his very core.
