I’m
finding it just a little convenient that the random cases we see Cassidy trying
at the start of each episode wind up dovetailing into the larger fraud
investigation. The link here is more
tangential than in episode 2, but it’s still there.
The
Miss Brinkwell of the title is a septuagenarian with potentially-vital
information. Once again, I’m not quite
sure how it all fits together – when they start going on about fraud, my eyes
tend to glaze over – but it’s something to do with property being intentionally
undersold. While it’s true that I’m
not watching with the world’s most attentive eye, it seems that the mystery
should be further along with only one episode to go. I still can’t tell how the disparate elements
of the case are going to fit together.
This
episode does feature some nicer
character stuff for Cassidy and McRae.
Both of our heroes are feeling the case wear on them. Cassidy is deeply unsettled by some of the
things he’s seen, and his wife is upset about his recent spate of
increasingly-late nights. Meanwhile,
McRae has dived headlong into the case, even going for the trope of working
until the wee hours and falling asleep in his office. The two men have a good scene together in
McRae’s hotel room, commiserating and opening up a little. I think Cassidy senses a risk of becoming
more like McRae if he stays with the case much longer.
Wrapping
things up tomorrow!
