Remember "The Fugitive" where Richard Kimball knew that a one armed man was responsible for the death of his wife. So that eliminates a lot of possibilities. What this show has in common is that it stretches things out forever with every suspect eventually being let off the hook. Once again we have each major player involved in something different. Sarah asks Stan about Rosie knowing that he was not her real Dad. Stan stalks Alexi and the two of them chat. Mitch continues in her motel room, watching over the girl whose trust she seems to have gotten. Unfortunately, that trust is betrayed. Stephen and Sarah go to the rich guy's house because his son has been messing around with the truth. The new precinct captain is more interested in his behind than helping get to the bottom of the case. Sarah goes back to the motel she and Jack are staying in and realizes that someone has been in the room.

Review By Kamal K
The aesthetics are occasionally purposeful, rather than merely bleak-chic, and on a good day, so is the writing. There are even actual jokes every now and then! Linden and Holder perform policework sometimes, following up on leads, combing through records, and discovering relevant information never more than two steps removed from Rosie. The investigation has a clear sense of momentum as the portrait is slowly being filled in.
Which is why it's disappointing to reach such a dull episode. It's not awful. Linden and Holder make what feels like substantial progress in their case. The conspiracy angle has been evident since the end of last season, but Linden hasn't done much to work against it. Lieutenant Carlson is doing an awfully good job of plausible deniability, what with his slavish need to keep bad press away from the department.
Cliffhangers aside, Linden and Holder are shockingly diligent this week. They're also blindingly foolish, thinking they can call in a warrant for Michael Ames, waterfront developer, Seattle bigwig, without calling any attention to themselves. But at least some seeming progress comes out of their meeting with Michael, accompanied by his lawyer and Jasper, who is deep in the grips of Oedipal rivalry.
The Killing has enough bad luck for every character and then some. And just two weeks ago, it seemed like all this misfortune had beaten everyone into the ground. But at last, the survivors are back to fighting. Linden and Holder are closer than ever to the complete picture of the Rosie Larsen case, Darren's back in the race with Jamie and Gwen at his side, and Stan and Mitch are each starting to stand on their own two feet. The Killing may have something nice to say after all.

Someone is stalking Linden

Someone left a painting in their motel room and they have to stay at Holder's place and I wonder if something is going to happen between them. Jasper's father is one of the suspects and Mitch wrote a letter to someone named David about Rosie being his daughter. She's staying at a motel too and she got robbed by the girl she took in her room. I really like how the tension builds up gradually.
