Wow, so quite a bit went down in tonight’s new episode of Homicide in a Small City. We knew issues had been closing in for Mayor Christie Holman, however I used to be not anticipating this flip of occasions.
Cassandra confronts Christie with the knowledge she obtained. Sensible on her for making copies as a result of from the appears of it she would need to make it go away to get her approach. She even tried to bribe Cassandra asking her what she would need in return to look the opposite approach. The audacity; Cassandra didn’t budge. She allowed her 24 hours to get herself collectively earlier than she went public with the knowledge.
Christie’s resolution to this matter is to step down as Mayor, and actually it’s one of the best transfer she may’ve made. Nevertheless, any individual didn’t take kindly to that and knocked her mindless on the evening of her occasion. Karl questions Christie’s son, Brett, her daughter, Natalie, and son-in-law, Robert. One thing was off about Natalie and her husband to me and I had my eye on them. They’d essentially the most to lose with Christie stepping down, however would Natalie actually harm her personal mom?

As soon as she’s awake, Karl asks Christie what she remembers from the evening. It isn’t a lot, however get this, why did Lance Greenwood rush in there and principally attempt to cease Karl’s questioning? Sure, he’s her physician, however not right now, so what’s up with that? He was on my record after that, however the questions continued. Whereas interrogating Brett, he instantly went on the protection , but it surely did not scream “guilty” to me. It’s extra like abandonment points. Upon additional investigation, the varsity advised Karl that Brett’s conduct has been escalating for some time and he was not too long ago expelled for his violence in direction of his instructor. Not solely that, he has been drawing disturbing photos of his mom. On the pack of this picture was an e mail between his mother and Natalie; one of many ones Cassandra obtained.
Issues are beginning to add up now. Brett was the one who despatched Cassandra the emails. This makes a lot sense; he’s clearly feeling lonely and with how busy his mother has been being mayor, and his father gone (killed in a automotive accident) he simply needed his mother round extra. He wasn’t the one who harm his mom.

Whereas Karl was interrogating Robert, he let it slip that Christie was having an affair with Lance Greenwood – sure, her physician. One of many caterers revealed that they overheard Christie arguing with Claire Greenwood the evening she was attacked so she’s now introduced in. She admits to having an argument however denies being the one to assault Christie, however she would have each proper to after what she’s completed to her. She tells Karl that she noticed Natalie’s automotive when she was with Christie, which now debunks Natalie’s alibi.
Once more, we don’t assume Natalie would truly harm her personal mom proper? After all she wouldn’t, however who would have entry to Natalie’s automotive and likewise one thing to lose if Christie stepped down as mayor? Robert. See? Knew one thing was suspicious about him. He tried to disclaim his involvement in fact, however he was caught on a neighbor’s digicam on the time of the assault. Christie stepping down ruined Robert’s plan to embezzle cash. Robert, did we actually assume killing her would make issues higher? Household dinners are going to be extraordinarily bizarre now.

Talking of bizarre, Cassandra will get a blast from the previous when somebody she knew again in Sacramento turns up out of the blue. She doesn’t appear significantly comfortable to see Warren, extra like frightened. He asks to have lunch together with her to speak and she or he declines. You’d assume that might be sufficient to ship him on his approach, however no. Warren decides to observe her round city, ambushing her at each likelihood he will get.
Warren finds his technique to the library – he tells Cassandra that he was launched and was combating discovering work. She doesn’t appear to grasp the place he’s going with this, however then he asks her for a job and that she owes him. Cassandra is visibly frightened and on this second I thank Todd for being there. He didn’t hesitate to step behind Cassandra when it appeared like Warren was about to get aggressive. He takes it upon himself to control Warren for Cassandra. Warren even made his technique to Cassandra’s home demanding that he give her cash for all the difficulty she brought about him. I’m so confused at what this man thinks she owes him. You’re a stalker, you declare she led you on, she needs nothing to do with you, you’re being bizarre and also you need her to pay you for that? Sir, preserve it transferring. Life is difficult, you’ll determine it out with out her.

What bothered me about this although was that when Todd knowledgeable Karl about what was occurring, Cassandra lashed out on him as a result of she didn’t need him to find out about her earlier life to that depth. Cassandra there’s a man following you and also you’re relationship the chief of police, how may you not count on him to do the whole lot in his energy to maintain you secure? You’ll be able to’t actually be upset at that, are you able to?
Now that the funds was accepted for extra officers, I would like somebody to note that Laila is spiraling. She’s not sleeping properly, and she or he’s making an attempt her greatest, but it surely’s apparent the occasions of the taking pictures are nonetheless haunting her. She even broke her three-year sobriety. I don’t see this ending properly if it continues.
