When Game of Thrones premiered in 2011, no one expected a little show about dragons to become the show of the decade. Mare's discovery of a necklace belonging to Erin with a date on the back is surely Deejay's birthday.HBO is the queen of unexpected hits.The show has many tangled webs of characters and keeps adding new ones, but where's Brianna gone?.Dylan embracing Deejay shows a level of emotion he's been incapable of thus far, but as he's unlikely the killer and definitely not that father, why is he still sticking around?.Number one suspect: We might have a mysterious figure to focus on, but who, if any, of the reprobates is it? There's still been no explanation for Deacon Mark having Erin's bike and his past is certainly suspect, but it all feels a little too easy.Finally, we're about to hear from the girls who so far have been silenced. Is this subplot all a red herring? Quite possibly, as the episode ends by showing us where Katie really is: in the same miserable room where a faceless man throws Missy and locks the door. The house of horrors she wanders through turns out to be a trick mirror as Freddie has been conning her all along, but in another sleight of hand the money he thinks he has stolen is a stack of missing posters. After following instructions to an abandoned home she is told she'll find her daughter in the basement. Dawn decides to ignore all rational logic and steals the money from the cashier at work to try and get Katie back. Even the wailing sirens and sight of an old woman being carted off to hospital practically feel like a Nancy Meyers movie compared to the low sense of dread we've been marinading in for four episodes. The comedy of errors moment results in Becca screaming her head off when she finds Siobhan and Anne getting it on in the same room as her, and the ensuing fiasco sees Helen getting whacked in the face with the door. The peace doesn't last long, as Helen discovers when her night of microwave pizza pockets is interrupted, when Becca comes over to make amends. In the light relief romantic subplot, Siobhan has broken up with Becca and is enjoying her new romance with radio DJ Anne (Kiah McKirnan). He truly feels like if Ted Bundy ran a Substack newsletter about semi-colons. His good looks might fool you but there is no getting away from the Jonathan Franzen turned serial killer vibes which he exudes. "I only had one book in me." If you were to read the script of this show without the visuals there would be no question that this playboy author was not the killer. "Maybe I'm just not a great writer," he muses. Richard and Mare go for a stroll, coffee in hand. If Mare wasn't currently signed off on gross misconduct charges we'd be feeling irked on her behalf that this guy was brought in to take over her case. Bingo? Yet Zobel doesn't do a particularly good job of sniffing out the truth, instead warning the deacon to get his story straight. Getting to the point, he asks about a sexual misconduct complaint filed against the deacon by the parents of a 14-year-old girl. "I was beginning to think you were avoiding me?" he asks to no response, which seems to clear that one up. A solo Detective Zobel isn't getting far without his partner in crime as Deacon Mark continues to avoid him.
