Where are the local authorities after Kevin’s house exploded?

Maeve acting like she’s pulling the strings is infuriatingly pathetic. After Conrad, we know Harry is the second in command.

Seraphina has balls. She has no problems defending herself by reminding Maeve that she has Harrigan DNA while Maeve only has the surname. I like that Conrad is protective of Seraphina despite what Maeve thinks of her.

It’s official. I HATE Maeve. And the annoying trope of inserting and asking questions when Conrad was trying to get the information. And Conrad gives in. UGH.

At first I thought Conrad and Maeve were a team, but she annoys and pisses him off more often than not. I do like that he defends Seraphina TO Maeve, which shut her up for a minute, and that he loves AND supports his daughter.

Eddie, that prick, got off too easy, but I did enjoy Kevin tasing him!👌👌🙌🙌🙌🙌🤣🤣🤣🤞🤞

I also hate Bella. Just STAHP, you bint.

 I continue to love Harry. Looks like a place will open up for Maria’s mom, and that one current resident will have an accident.

And Jan also continues to annoy-I’m assuming she knew what Harry did for a living, so her harping at him about therapy is bugging me. But I like Gina.

Again, this show is so not good for my blood pressure! I’m always worrying about Harry!

Following Harry and digging up Archie. They were too short-staffed to check on Kevin's house.

I really hate that she has this bitterness toward Seraphina. I completely understand why Maeve would feel the way she feels. I understand that Seraphina is a reminder of Conrad's infelidity. At some point though, you got to get over it. Either stay with Conrad and accept that all of him or leave Conrad. Conrad clearly loves his daughter and Seraphina is a whole adult now. She wants to hold on to that bitterness until she dies, apparently.

This flirtation she has with Harry is throwing me for a curveball.

Were we introduced to Maria before this episode? 🤔

It seems like they were involved when he and Kevin became friends or he first started working for the family? But he chose them and so she ended up choosing Kevin? No proof but just based on what she said to him last week at the bar or her hotel room, I think it was.

Maybe the pilot? I think Jan said something to Harry about it.

I mean-he’s just a moron-starting a war. And how is starting an all out war a good thing or acting “Like a True Harrigan”?!  So Maeve can just SHUT IT.

And now I’m wondering if she told him to do it, after all!

For now, it seems like Eddie killed Tommy purely out of impulse. If that's the case, that's kind of disappointing. I was liking the theory that Maeve used or manipulated Eddie into starting a war.

After today’s episode, I’m thinking Maeve manipulated the little prick. She told Conrad to “stick” as to Richie, in the pilot, but pretty much to him to “twist” Archie. And so now I’m thinking she set all of this in motion.

She did, but at the time I didn't know whose mother she was talking about. I actually thought it was either Jan's or Harry's, for some reason. After last week, we all know how much I pay attention! 😄

Any theories on who told the cops where they hid Archie's body? Whoever the "grass" is, they're still about.

Maeve the sh!t stirrer — because she wants to get rid off Harry. Harry could’ve been arrested again as the detectives still haven’t given up to offer him a “parachute”.

OR — it could be the Harrigans’ female lawyer. Harry tells her stuff, right?

[Jordan61]

And what's up with Maeve putting Vron at the top of the hit list, other than trying to incite all-out war? She said she would be on Richie's hit list, but that's not a fair comparison. Maeve is very much involved with the Harrigan family's activities, while Vron looks like she's auditioning for Real Housewives of Organized Crime.

The suspect has to be someone with knowledge of Archie's death and Harry's disposal method of putting the dead person in someone else's coffin.

The only people with immediate firsthand knowledge of Archie's death are Conrad, Maeve, Brendan, Kevin, Seraphina, Harry and Harry's minions. If I'm missing someone, my bad. It's possible that these people told someone who snitched, but I tend to doubt it since the word got to the cops the next morning about Archie. People at the funeral home knew, but not in time to report Archie missing originally, and of course it would be silly to report on themselves.

We can, of course, eliminate Harry and Conrad straightaway, as they are not incentivized to snitch on themselves.

I would say that Kevin does not have the independent drive needed to be a snitch in this situation.

Brendan, while he's the Irish equivalent of Fredo from the Godfather, is not so big a fuckup that he would snitch. I also don't know if he would know the finer details of how Harry handles things.

Maeve is clever enough to have knowledge of things. But I don't think it's in her interest to screw Conrad over in this way. I also think that she's much more direct and psycho with her solutions.

I don't think Harry's minions are likely snitches. 

So my guess is Seraphina. She's obviously savvy, and hypothetically if the "real Harrigans" go down, she can step into the vacuum and take over. She could also have some personal resentment that despite the next generation of Harrigans mostly being fuckups, she's treated like dirt by Maeve because of her bastardry, and is lower on the totem pole than she should be because of that and/or her race/gender.

It's conceivable that Bella did find out and is the snitch. But she's reliant on the Harrigans for now. Maybe she thinks that if Harry got off the train/plane, she and he could run away together?

All in all, I'm sticking with Seraphina for now. In a few weeks, maybe this will look brilliant or maybe it will look foolish.

LOL!

But I think Maeve is a very upfront and direct person (which may mean she's a low-down, dirty deceiver and just good at it -- we'll see.) 

For now, I take her at face value that she accepts that we're already at the point of war for control of fentanyl with Richie, and she sadistically wants Richie experience maximum suffering as they win it. 

Off-the-wall spec: Maeve had an affair with Richie back in the day and possibly one of the kids is not a real Harrigan. She's jealous that Richie now has himself a right fit bird. So that's why she'd made Vron Plan B.
