On "The Killing" tonight, it's THE HORROR!
Stan Larsen, who turns himself in for beating up the teacher, will never be able to support his family again. Incidentally, he was the one who called 911 reporting that the teacher needed medical help. Stan sits in jail staring out the window.
Mitch Larsen, who put in play Stan's attack on the teacher, gets a call from the bank. Their savings account is missing the more than $17,000 she assumed that was in it. Meanwhile, checks are bouncing. Also, since their moving assistant Belko admitted to also beating up the teacher, there is no one to run the moving company. Either Mitch will have to get a job fast or the family will lose the house. On the street will be Mitch, the two boys, and the Mitch's sister. Mitch, of course, knows she was wrong in assuming that the teacher had done it.
Sarah is doomed. Her son Jack continues to act out. It went from sending around crime scene photos to having his friends over to the boat for beer and smokes. Rick, the man who wants to marry her, comes to bring her and Jack to California to start a new life. She can't go. It seems she probably had had a nervous breakdown. Rick alludes to her being in the hospital and staring at the wall. She and Jack left the boat in a huff and are bunking in a motel.
In a photo, there Richmond is, shaking Rosie's hand. Could he have decided to get to know this pretty girl better? He is still a suspect. Politics is hardening him. He is cutting the City Council's salary. They were not loyal to him.
The latest clue about Rosie's possible killer leads Sarah to a casino a boat trip away. Belko overheard Rosie on the phone saying she was going there. Did Rosie meet her killer there.
The teacher may or may not make it. The horror is that his wife, who will soon deliver their child, doubted him.
Sarah blames herself for positioning the teacher as the prime suspect. Stephen, the stronger one who keeps growing, won't cave to self-blame. He has been clean in NA for six months. It looks like he intends to stay clean.
Aside from Stephen, everyone else's life has been irreversibly damaged.
There are three more episodes to "The Killing."
I love this show. This was easily the best episode of the season. I think we’re going to see that Holder is really a great detective. Also, anyone else find it creepy that Rick just sat in the hall while Jack kicked it in the room? And Belko?! Also, just putting this out there, it seemed the sister was a little quick to cast Belko as a pervert, and just because there has been NO suspicion cast on her, I think we’re going to find out she was somehow involved. I actually missed the episode the first time it aired, but as a DISH customer/employee I was able to watch it the next day while on my lunch break at work using the TV Everywhere app in conjunction with my iPad: http://goo.gl/Qsggz
