If there’s one take away we should have with this killer Freeform drama, it’s taking a page out of Stan Guthrie’s book if you’re in a jam is not such a bad thing. When the going gets tough, like say fighting for your life against a murder charge, the tough get to sleuthing and blackmailing. Guilt‘s suspect list was once numerous in the Molly Ryan murder investigation. Now that list is narrowing down to one very high profile suspect, and it’s not the one originally touted out as the killer. Whether or not this suspect can be realistically convicted is a completely different story.
Now that we’ve confirmed that Grace doesn’t know what she did or didn’t do, desperate measures must be imposed. Whether or not Grace killed Molly, Stan wants to know the truth. He seems to genuinely want Grace to have some clarity about that night. To that end, Stan brings in a hypnotist to help Grace recover her missing hour. Grace tries to stay with happy memories of Molly before letting herself go back to that night. Grace was so drunk she walked right past Molly’s body, but the point is that Molly was very much dead by the time Grace got there. What’s more is that Grace remembered seeing a man in the apartment.
Prince Theo is looking better and better for Molly’s murder. It seems half of the players now know he was involved with Molly, which means he was also the father of her baby. They could all do serious damage to the monarchy, none more than the Princess-to-Be Charlotte. She’s the one person people might believe if she accused Theo of the murder with evidence. Yet Theo confesses everything to Charlotte, except for killing Molly. Theo swears he isn’t a murderer, which is the only reason Charlotte doesn’t throw the engagement ring in his face right there and then.
Natalie is hot on Prince Theo’s trail too. She goes to Bruno for help which is the biggest mistake she could have made. Because Bruno doesn’t think Natalie is crazy for believing this theory. Bruno doesn’t question the legitimacy of Neville’s eyewitness account because Bruno knows all too well what kind of man Prince Theo is. Bruno’s showdown with Prince Theo makes it clear just how much Bruno has to lose. What’s worse is that Natalie overhears everything. Facing two terrible paths either way, Bruno chooses to tell the truth despite what it will do to his life, and so asks Stan to put him on the stand.
I was probably most proud of Kaley. She had to make the horrible choice to kill Finch to save Roz. Yet she’s the only one who’s saying that this isn’t normal, that this isn’t the life she wanted. Gratefully she said so to Roz as she was kicking her out the door. What Kaley would like is a fresh start with Patrick, but that’s never going to happen. Armed with the knowledge of Theo’s connection to Molly, Patrick is out for blood. He’s not waiting for someone to get justice for Molly. Patrick reaches out to the more radical members of his family to get the tools he needs to get his own justice.
Now that it’s confirmed that Grace did not kill Molly, let’s join in Stan’s toast-To the Truth.
