I agree with you re. not wanting it to be Jamie, but mostly because I don't think I could buy (unless some serious 'splainin was done!!!) him as being that cold-hearted. That he could be involved in such a horrific incident/cover-up and not be outwardly affected by it at all. I just... don't get the impression. And I don't get that impression because of the characterisation we've received for him to date. If they want to re-write that, then fine, I won't like it and I'll rage against it because, well... cop out. But yeah, I don't know... I don't like it! I would particularly find your 'Jamie trying to save Rosie but not being able to' suggestion hard to buy, because SURELY that would have had an impact on him in SOME visible way??!
As you know, Gwen was my prime suspect right through season one, though I tend to agree that it makes less than zero sense for it to be her now... Hmmm.
Is it possible that the swipe card had been stolen/lost and then used by someone else? Like it's all just been a massive fake-out?
I knew it was going to be Alexi in the car with Janek at the end there (for no real reason other than that initial fore-shadowing in Stan's garage), but I was still like BOOYEAH when it was! The whole second half of this episode had me on tenterhooks despite most of what was happening (besides the final swipe card revelation) being pretty damn obvious. I didn't notice the lack of Holder/Linden, but that's probably because I'm not as invested in them as a potential couple as some people are? Maybe? No idea. I think the focus on the other characters this episode was important and intriguing and the bits we did get of H/L were spot-on. As usual!
TWO MORE EPISODES TO GO.
eta: I just found this: it's from a review I posted in my journal post the season one finale. Most of the Gwen stuff is now utterly redundant, but the Jamie stuff I still stand by...
Jamie | Some are saying that there has been collusion between he and Richmond and that he is the murderer. I do not at all buy this. I don't think he has the balls for murder. He seems altogether too naive, and maybe that's the whole point. But I don't think so. His "are there any skeletons in your closet" comment to Richmond and his earlier season comment regarding "plausible deniability" are interesting. But, when it comes down to it, I think he's a little too wide-eyed to be that calculating.
Gwen | My money is still on her. And now I think there are two motives in play where she is concerned. I think she found out about Richmond/Rosie and killed the girl (maybe accidentally) in order to get rid of her and 'save' Richmond (motive one). I think she dumped Richmond in it (after finding out that Meg wasn't only a thing of the past!) by recanting her alibi out of jealousy (motive two). I think she is smack bang in the middle of all the shit. SMACK BANG! Also, a couple of times she made reference to being "good" at her job etc.
