Week Seven, Part II
Laurelton, the mystery stuff: It's all about that Purity Water medallion this week. The killer gets points for resourcefullness -- wearing Frisco's spare uniform to blend in at the PCPD, arranging phony service calls to occupy Frisco's attention while he serves as desk sergeant, and pulling the fire alarm to get Sam & Eric away from the evidence room -- but blows it for deciding to dispose of the medallion in the manhole right next to the police station.
I appreciate Anna using her resources, but imagine how Mayor Morgan or any beancounter at City Hall will react to having the WSB get involved in the attempt to identify just whose medallion was used to kill Earl Moody. It's not outright confirmed to be Terry's, but the Wednesday episode has a quick flashback of her drunkenly tossing her necklace into the fountain outside the Purity Water plant.
In-universe, Patrick and Terry are considered the most likely suspects. We the viewers know it can't be Terry, or at least not if there's only one killer. A month ago, the show cut from a scene of Terry, Jennifer, and Ted leaving the Brownstone basement to a shot of the killer still at work in their hiding spot. At this point, Patrick's being presented as so blatantly suspicious* that a savvy viewer could assume it's not him, since where's the mystery in that?
*We even get filler with him being unnecessarily creepy while showing Terry the apartment he wants to buy her and Kevin.
That just leaves two options: Patrick and/or Kevin and/or Terry working together (except there's been no foreshadowing to suggest this) or just Kevin. Unless I'm missing it, there's nothing written or performed to give Kevin's actions and interactions much rewatchability.
TL;DR -- I still wish they would have teased Jennifer or Ted as red herrings.
