That’s the same phrase DA Montez used when talking to Bill about catching and trying the killer of John Rothstein in episode 1. And what to make of headspace Brady’s ability to predict things about the examiner? Just a lucky guess? Is he in the hospital’s digital records perhaps and looked up who was assigned to Lou? Or is he developing new prognostication abilities? Yikes.Īlso strange is that Lou accuses Finkelstein of using her as his lottery ticket.

The title this week’s episode is “Love Lost”, and once again the theme plays out a couple of threads. The sun, the stars from the sky are taken.
