The other thing is that while Whiterose has appeared as a woman far more often than as a man in the show, we, the audience, know that BD Wong is a man. And we cannot un-know that. And to be blunt, he comes off as more credible as a man and more like he's masquerading as a woman. So it makes it harder for some of us to…

Darlene probably *was* tracking her. Darlene wanted her to come home so she could confront her.

Darlene mentions it when she and Cisco are talking about going back for the tape. And Darlene put an auto-reply on Madame Executioner's email last week, saying she'd be out and unavailable from July 6 - July 27. Three weeks. So maybe no one has looked for her yet, because her absence for that period of time is…

I'm not sure how much of Ray's Silk Road plot we're supposed to think actually happened. Some people have been saying for two weeks now that Elliot hacking Ray's site got Ray arrested, and that's what got Elliot out of jail, but at the prison when Elliot was collecting his belongings, the cop said to him that they…

I wonder if "the man and the girl" is singular. Whiterose? It's interesting that both Elliot and Whiterose are two people fighting over possession of one body.

Exactly. We were recruited.

Upvoting for user name / comment synergy. And also because I like your user name.

They trolled the audience by making it look like Zack was a) a vampire and b) killed by Eph, but then Eph woke up and it was ALL A DREAM, dammit.

Am I alone in assuming that Strand and Madison are going to pull a Shaun of the Dead and set the bar top on fire using alcohol? No? Just me, then?

No, it wasn't. The point was to get a zillion fingerprints and all sorts of dna all over everything in there. Hosting a party advertised by flyer was the best way of getting a lot of people in there to cloud the evidence left there by fsociety.

Portia resembles — like a close cousin — Amanda Seyfried.

I have to confess: my mom still has one, too! (She also has a vintage princess phone in her bedroom that she won't give up, no matter how often the connection drops from shitty wires while we're talking — she's convinced it's MY phone doing that.) But it did look very institutional to me during the episode, and after…

Yeah, if the body is missing below the waist, wouldn't that belt (and whatever was left of the pants) slip right off while he's crawling?

Right, because we didn't get enough Asperger's + cop-equivalent on all of the versions of "The Bridge" that have been on tv in various languages.

According to last night's episode, she does.

I'm usually content to let things play out and not try to predict plot twists, but the wall phone at his mother's house did it for me. It just looked like the kind of phone you see in institutional settings, for use by prisoners or patients. Who even has a corded phone anymore in their home, no less a wall one?

Yes, I noticed that, too. Glad to see I'm not crazy. I kept rewinding whenever that happened (at least 2x, maybe 3) because I thought I was losing my mind or going deaf!

Joanna Wellick lives in Chelsea; presumably Elliot's mom still lives in Washington Twp, NJ.

I think Darlene is thinking "Oops, Angela recognizes Cisco, and has now tumbled to the fact that we set her up all the way back then."

My work here is done. :-) (And IMDb tells me that he was Jason Parisi, Patsy Parisi's sports-betting loose-cannon younger son, i.e. not the one dating Meadow in S6.)
