I love that Charles figured out the whole Rose Cooper situation. When she handed him the knife and asked him to open the back of the painting, I was afraid she was just trying to get his fingerprints on a murder weapon so I was relieved when she just wanted to show him the painting underneath.

My heart broke for Oliver when we learned that he had lied to his son about the DNA test. Loved the elevator fight between him and Teddy though.

I really hope this was the last we'll see of Alice, but since she knew about the Oklahoma podcast I'm pretty sure we're stuck with her for one more episode.

The Cinda/Krups connection was unexpected but I'm way more interested in finding out about the Becky Butler stuff. Does Cinda know that Poppy is Becky? Is she blackmailing her to keep her quiet? Or did Becky get this job to keep an eye on her?

I feel like Cinda is the one who kidnapped her as a child and groomed her (hence Poppy wanting so bad for her approval and be appreciated). And Cinda being a sociopath was able to manipulate Kreps and Poppy and used her crime for attention and fame and to brag that she was getting away with it.

But when the trio became the competition and actually solved a crime, she couldn't take it. So she committed another crime.

I think the Cinda thing is a mislead. Kreps deliberately says he landed the smartest woman in the world or something and Cinda clearly is not that smart, just ruthless in her pursuit of the story. Without Poppy it's clear she can't function as well. I'm starting to think Poppy is the mastermind and setting Cinda up since she keeps pointing the finger at Cinda, and she wants to have a podcast of her own, which can come about if Cinda is gone.

Kreps takes evidence for example but it looked like he buried it in a protective case, he didn't burn it. Planting evidence is a big thing this season, so if you want a failsafe to use against Cinda, planting evidence is a good idea.

I think Poppy is being made out to be too much of a victim and they're deliberately misleading us into thinking it is Cinda, because I just don't think Cinda is that competent. Poppy isn't trying to frame the main three, she's forcing them to investigate the case so she can use them to pin it all on Cinda.

Ooh! I can see that.

i can totally see this because i remember poppy did a great voice-over and cinda was very threatened by it and immediately claimed the line was hers.

ooooo interesting!!!
