I know it's a bit late but I still haven't finished Saturday's cryptic, any help greatefully recieved.
7d spades,etc,put out as diamonds often; 4/3
s?e? c?t
25a Maybe go through mood changes of criminal:prison worried C?n?????e
23d Head of Scotland Yard team s????
am wondering if 27a is reddest but don't know why

Head of Scotland - S + yard = quad = squad - team?

Mood changes as in grammatical mood- conjugate?
Con - criminal, prison - jug worried - ate?

S - spades + etc + put = step cut - a kind of cut for jewels?

thanks
