The body is later identified as Jimmy Sullivan and Cassie and Sunny set out to search for his murderer. They found a diary that belonged to Jimmy so they start there.

Cassie and Sunny start to visit people that are listed in the diary and things start to get interesting. They visit Father Robert Greaves, who remembers Jimmy but he looks uneasy. What is he hiding?

The remains are examined further and marks of torture are discovered which means he may have been evolved with a gang. Cassie and Sunny seek out more people and visits a group of friends who say they know nothing.

Cassie and Sunny discover that a prominent person named Sir Phillip is involved but denies that he knows Jimmy. Later Sir Phillip makes plans to protect his family and try to save his reputation. Father Robert feels guilty and brings his family in to tell them about his pass.

Revelations come to light and in the end, Jimmy’s mother finally lays him to rest. Lives and families are ruined because a family member tries to cover up something that happened in their past. Great season!!

The Fall

Season One Episode Five

Paul discovers he has not killed Annie Brawley and she is in the hospital. The other person was Annie’s brother that Paul killed. Olivia sees a CCTV video on the news which shows her walking with her Dad in the park the same day Sarah was killed. Sally Ann suggest that Paul goes to the police to say he was there so he can be pulled from the suspect list. Paul goes but suggest to Sally Ann to tell the police that he was home with her the night of the murder. When he gets home Sally Ann questions Paul why she had to lie. Paul makes up a lie and tells Sally Ann that he was with the babysitter and that they are having an affair.

Stella speaks to Dr. Smith’s friend who had a bizarre incident at university with someone named Peter. Stella later gets some forensic evidence from the letter the killer wrote to Sarah’s father. Stella later gets a phone call from someone who says he’s the killer after hearing Sarah’s father issued public request for the killer to stop.

DCI Eastwood confronts ACC Jim Burns after learning that Aaron Monroe had fled their jurisdiction. This is an entirely different plot to the story. Not sure how it’s connected to Paul yet but is has to be. Maybe because Paul’s first kill was the wife of Aaron Monroe. I don’t get the connection yet.

The Fall

Season One Episode Four

DCI Eastwood tells Burns that he received a call on Olson’s phone that was made at a hotel by Rob Breedlove. Rob is linked to Aaron Monroe, father Morgan of Aaron and a prostitution ring. Rob is questions by Eastwood who gets scared and proceeds to kill himself. The whole office is shaken up over the suicide.

Stella is informed that Sarah’s father receives an anonymous letter for someone claiming to be the killer. The letter states that if he had know Sarah was pregnant, he would have have killed her. The father wants to put his phone number out in the public hoping the killer will call him but Stella talks him out of it.

Paul is going about his work life. Paul is approached by his boss stating that he was not supposed to visit one of his client’s Liz Taylor at her home. The father of the wife reported to Paul’s boss that he had gone by the house. What Paul was really doing was spying on his new victim but he could not tell his boss that so he makes up some excuse as to why he goes there.

Stella now believes that the killer could have a little remorse about killing Sarah. Pathologist, Reed Smith, who is on the case, comes to speak with Stella about her one of her friends who had a bizarre experience with a guy back in college. The friend comes forward and tells Stella she had a one night stand with a guy names Paul and that she thought he would kill her. She never reported this to the police because of her husband but now believes he could be the killer. In the meantime, while Stella is interviewing the friend, Paul is killing his next victim and a man she had in the house with her.

Paul’s killings are getting closer and closer in time and he is not waiting long like he was in the beginning. What is the rush? Does Stella believe the friend and is wondering if he could be the killer?

The Fall

Season One Episode Three

Stella confesses to ACC Jim Burns of having had sex with Jimmy, unaware that he was married Stella is advised by Burns to start carrying a firearm. The people Jimmy were involved with are criminals and he is not sure of her safety. Stella is also interviewed by DCI Eastwood who is in charge of the Olson investigation; she didn’t have much to say. Jimmy didn’t talk about what he was involved in so she was no help.

Stella later holds a briefing about the potential serial killer who has killed Sarah and possibly two more women. Stella later picks her team and they began working on the case. During her news conference, Stella tells the news that Sarah was several weeks pregnant. Stella wants the public’s help in locating who the father could be.

Paul takes his family to visit his wife’s parents. While he is there, he sees an old abandoned house and goes in to look around. He has already selected his next victim and I’m thinking he will use this old house to take her to. The mother in law tells Sally Ann that she thinks the necklace Paul gave daughter Olivia is not suited for a child but no one says anything. Olivia has a bad dream and wakes up. Olivia tells Sally Ann that knows about a book that her father keeps of naked pictures. Sally Ann thinks Olivia is having a bad dream. I’m wondering when Olivia will tell her about the hiding place Paul has for his bookbag.

Paul later leaves his in laws house since he has work to do but he goes to spy on the house of his new victim. He has decided that Annie Brawley will be his next victim. Later he hears on the news that Sarah was several weeks pregnant and feels guilty or does he?

This is a limited series but worth the watch. It keeps you guessing and you want to believe Jacob is innocent. But is he??

The Handmaid’s Tale

Season Five – Motherland

First scene shows Serena in a detention center sitting in a chair with a breast pump. Doesn’t this just remind you of June at the Red Center pumping for Nicole. Serena gets a visit from Mrs. Wheeler who is only there to collect milk for baby Noah. They exchange a few words and Mrs. Wheeler leaves. Serena wants June’s help but why? June is not her friend.

In Gilead, Commander Lawrence is discussing his plan for New Bethlehem. Now, if you recall, Commander Putnam was not for the plan. Since Commander Putnam is gone, Commander Lawrence can try to bring all the Commanders on board. Now all Commander Lawrence has to do is get refugees from Canada to come live on his new island. Commander Lawrence is even convincing Nick to live on the island. I mean really, would you go back? No way!!

The Canadians are getting very aggressive and driving by June’s house all times of the day and night.

Luke even suggest to June they leave and move somewhere else. June is not moving anywhere else without Hannah.

You get to experience a part of the world you help create.

Mark comes over and also tries to convince June not to leave Canada. June gives him a tape she received in the mail. Mark takes the footage back to the headquarters to see if something can be made out of it. Mark at least wants to see if he can get a location. Later, Mark will form an Army and has plans to go into Gilead to rescue Hannah. I’m sure Mark’s plan is not to just get Hannah but all the kids that are there.

This episode goes into so much more and is really starting to get good. The question is, will June go back to Gilead? Will Hannah get rescued? Will Serena stay with the Wheelers or try to leave. Hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did!!
