I thought this story line was pretty interesting and tragic. A lot of red herrings. That woman was a piece of work. Although her therapist really took advantage of her. The poor husband. And I wonder what will happen to her baby now that she's going to jail. The father doesn't want it. Maybe he will be made to pay, though. Would the husband take it? I'm overthinking it, of course. Yes, I did wonder how Ridley could afford to give Darren cash (for his gambling addiction?) and he didn't have enough money to bail out the club.

I like the show and hope it continues. I like the characters, but the last two parter was just not that interesting. And if they are heading for a Piet baby daddy story line (and it seems like they are) I will not be happy. Nor would I be happy if Lena became pregnant. Please show, don't go there.

Gosh, I liked Ridley's singing in this one. I hated the Jack storyline. Apparently there is another two-parter. I thought the season was over.

I don't know. Except for the Hendrik storyline, I found this two-parter pretty boring. And what's with all the screen time for the ex?

I felt bad for the CI. Her boyfriend is a lowlife and I guess she thought she could redeem him somehow. At least he didn't kill her. Ryan's mother, on the other hand, is not only a lowlife but a murderer. She killed her own son because "he deserved it." (?) Maybe I'm too naive, but I found that plot twist a little hard to believe. I'm drawn to keep watching, but I get that people have problems with the show. Something is just lacking.

He has a lot of documentation.

Wow. There was a lot of corruption in that scheme. It seems like only the low level people ever pay for their crimes. It never gets to the real perpetrators. Lev is a very complex character. I was amazed at how even keeled Svetlana seemed through the whole thing. It was interesting making her the narrator. I thought it was very well done. I also enjoyed the Lev/Svetlana interview afterwards with Ali Velshi.

I was hoping Sam would turn out to be the killer. Maybe Caroline is just taking the fall for him? He seems to have some people completely under his control. Which is hard for me to understand, since he gives off such creepy vibes.

I'm glad they finally showed Rachita laughing.

For whatever reason I found her more likeable in this episode. I'm glad she's hanging tough. It's really hard to function when your superiors are the bad guys. I hope this ends with a good resolution for her.

@possibilities I'm glad you commented because we have no episode 4 thread. I agree with everything. I also sympathize with her, but I wish her portrayal of the character would be a little more likeable. I find her consistently dour expression kind of off putting. Maybe it's the way this character is written. I have not seen her in anything else so I can't tell if that's her normal demeanor.

I don't think I liked Matt Jackson during his original run, but he's been very nice during this tournament. And he really won me over when he said he would not steal Sam's line. Congrats to Victoria. The game tomorrow will be interesting. Looks like it will come down to who gets the daily doubles.

I didn't remember that. Maybe someone else on here knows.

Would that be puppy killer Ryan?

I was impressed with how well Ike did, too. And if he had wagered zero in FJ he would have won.
