Though Guilt‘s main premise is a murder, things really didn’t take a dangerous turn until now. Though everyone in poor deceased Molly Ryan’s orbit is threatened by their own demons, the physical peril has never been more prevalent than it was this week. It’s looking more and more like Grace actually did kill Molly, or at least that she had a part in the murder. Though Grace may be the title lead in our story, is it wrong that after so many ridiculous moves sympathy for her is running out quickly? Ultimately there is an arrest made, but do the police finally have their suspect right?
Now that Patrick is in possession of the ledger which holds all the club’s clients, Roz and Kaley’s boss Finch is on the warpath. He murders a member of Parliament in front of Kaley just to prove his point. A frantic Kaley goes to Patrick for help, and their emotional connection leads to a physical one. Following that she brings the ledger back to Finch and sells out Patrick. I’m not convinced though that he didn’t freely give the ledger back since he had such a running head start before Finch’s men came after him.
We get at least solid answer in the episode, that Prince Theo was indeed the father of Molly’s baby. He seems to have really loved her, and continues to have nightmares about her. Those nightmares are unfortunate because he has to spin a story to his fiancee about Molly being a childhood dog. She buys it for about five minutes. No doubt Patrick is on his way to find out just who this “Gentleman 33” is who was so fond of his sister. What he could possibly do with that information on the long shot that he figures it out is another matter.
Roz is also forced to admit that she has Molly’s phone full of threatening messages from Finch. The girls are desperate to get rid of the phone in a way that wouldn’t get them in trouble, which is pretty difficult considering any connection Molly had to the club would never see the light of day because the clients are so high-ranking in the city structure. They come up with a twisted, dangerous plan to get Natalie into distracting Finch long enough for them to plant the phone in his car. The plan goes horribly wrong when Finch decides he wants to be alone with Natalie. Roz has to pull the fire alarm long enough for Natalie to do what she has to do, but then has to run for her life. The girls only barely make it out alive, literally.
Gwendolyn spends her time trying to break Luc, whether that means she gets him and Grace, or just Luc. She hounds him for hours in the night. She goes through every trick in the book, showing Luc pictures of the crime scene, bringing up his abusive childhood, denying him council on a technicality. Stan tries his best to get in, but Gwen has covered all her bases to avert loopholes. Natalie tries to get Detective Sergeant Bruno to help, but that’s a line Bruno can’t cross. What he will do is try a different strategy with Luc to get the truth. He finds success where Gwen failed, a chink in Luc’s story which puts Grace near Molly with more than enough time to kill her. Not only that, Natalie finds evidence in Finch’s office that Grace was one of Finch’s girls. You’d think it would have taken less than this, but it is seeing that video footage with her own two eyes which starts the domino in Natalie’s mind that Grace has turned into a person with too much to hide. Is she really guilty?
Tune in next week, when hopefully we’ll get to see a little more of Stan work his brilliance since he was denied so this week.
