Yes he is. His picture is shown on Jerome's evidence wall, his name is Etienne.

Three episodes remaining. What are we waiting to see before the end?

No third season is planned, though Gobert has said it's possible.

I was talking about after Simon returned and was wanted by the cops in season 1. I think the priest gave information about his whereabouts to the police and that could be the source of the mistrust in this ep seeing as the situation has repeated.

Another excellent episode. Only two complaints: 1) some Coenverse references are too direct, saw the Simone shooting/seeming shooting from a long way off. No gunshot, no bodyshot suggests Simone is alive. 2) Why didn't Hank tell Floyd the full theory of how Rye was killed? Would have been more convincing than, "Oh I…
