Special Message to Det. Holder
Come on! We need to get this case solved! A glazed donut? Could you please fuel your partner with something more nutritious! Linden has been conked on the head, held against her will, and drugged. The hospital fed her nothing but low quality carbs. The girl needs some protein, not a 5-minute sugar rush! A ham and egg sandwich would have done the job better.
Special Message to Alexi
Thank you for removing one viable suspect from the equation! And I'm digging this Larsen guardian angel thing you've got going on!
Special Message to Roberta Drays, Security Chief at the Wapi Eagle Casino
When will the bosses learn that they cannot count on our loyalty if they're going to crush our fingers in the door? I hope that you have information that will decimate Chief Jackson when the Feds return. Make that bitch pay!
Special Message to Chief Jackson
Oooo, girl, we just knew you liked it rough!
Special Message to Det. Linden
Look, I understand wanting to show off the city hall key card you scored to the elevator camera. But you lose the element of surprise when you flash what you found to the enemy. Now they have the opportunity to hide and/or fabricate other evidence before you return. Stop with the playground bravado and let's get this case solved!
What I'd Like to See Happen
If The Killing was just for me, I'd like to see three things happen:
Number One: I'd like the Larsens to see a glimmer of the happiness we saw in the very first episode of Season 1, before they learned that Rosie was even missing. On the one hand, the removal of Janek Kovarsky—and whatever debt he felt Stan still owed—gives me hope. But that "Bulldog" ended with Mitch sitting in what seemed like severe depression in the darkened kitchen, her "adventure"—as far as the audience knows—having resolved nothing, does not bode well. Still, if The Killing was just for me, I'd have the writers fix it my way.
Number Two: I want Darren to win the election. With less than 24 hours before the polls open and his two campaign managers now under suspicion, I'm not sure how that will happen. And even if it did, Republicans would be organizing a recall vote the next day if a suicidal victor with a murderer on staff won the office. Even so, I want Darren to win, although real life would give the victory to Mayor Adams.
Number Three: I'd love to see Linden in a position where she has the time to select a sandwich made with turkey breast on whole wheat over the "surprise" Holder has in the take-out bag, the sense to return to Nicorette instead of a cigarette, and the option of a real bed over the front seat of her squad car.
Gwen vs. Jamie
First, we're running out of time for any more false leads. Plus, Veena Sud has practically announced that the murderer is either Gwen or Jamie. [Thanks for ruining yet another surprise, Ms. Sud!] I don't think Gwen ever really got her bad girl on until this episode when she blackmails her father, so I don't see her capable of drowning a teenaged girl three weeks earlier. My money is still on Jamie "Win at Any Cost" Wright.
