I assumed the reason Ethan didn't want to give his blood to Fenton was because he was sleeping with Brona, who's consumptive. I thought for sure the absinthe montage -particularly the moment when the two women are GLARING at him, and also the moment with the lady eating an apple- pointed to him being the ripper. I loved how they set this up; with his objections to Fenton's treatment, his anger at Sir Malcolm and Dr. Frankenstein, and his reaction to the dog-rat spectacle. Definitely not predictable (down to that last scene! wowza!). Really, really enjoying this show thus far, can't wait to see how it unfolds!
