Is it a bold move to leave a mystery like the missing kids of Knocknaree unsolved?

Or does it just let the author off the hook?

The search for Katys killer has been scuttled into a B-plot for the second half of the season.

Helpfully, everyone wants to confess.

They ask the obvious question first: Is he a pedophile, drawn to Katy out of derangement?

He insists it wasnt like that, and offers a cryptic clue that Katy wasnt a nice person.

I didnt like her.

But Damien is quite possibly the worst liar in the history of modern murder capers.

Oh, just lie!

I shouted at the screen while he sat there blubbering.

Which is how we come to Rosalind.

She knows she wasnt wanted, says her father barely looked at her.

Now, they look ahead and see nothing, she says with a little glee.

Now, they know what its like to be me.

She had Katy killed to take away the last remnant of joy their stifled, miserable lives allowed.

Which makes the whole shtick pretty bizarre.

Apparently, Rosalind is an uncanny reader of other people.

If her malign neglect enrages her, where is that rage?

I fully believe that Rosalind may have killed her sister out of jealousy OR that shes psychotic.

Cassie and Rob are a compelling duo.

Their story is the one with the most heart.

So finally reuniting them after episodes apart offered more than a little gratification.

Sarah Greene and Killian Scott are a riveting pair.

Everything after that is a drag.

Cassie crossing the Irish Sea to England for an abortion.

Her scattering of Lexies ashes.

Sams why-didnt-they-cut-this line, Thats the thing about being a detective you get to detect.

Its all … whats the opposite of gravy?
