I take it back!

Recall her behavior in the interview room with Brianna.

Admittedly, Brianna sucks.

I am surprised, though, that Mare is already off Erins case.

For a lesser show, Enter Number Two is at least a half-seasons worth of plot.

I took 13 pages of typed notes on this one hour of television!So much stuff happens!

Before Mare gets taken off Erins case, there is forward movement in practically every element of this story.

Deacon Mark emerges as a new suspect in Erins murder.

Nothing is easy, though.

And although we see Deacon Mark dump Erins bike, Mare and Colin dont know that.

And why would whoever killed Erin strip her before dumping the body?

So many questions, and very few answers.

But at least Mare and Colin are getting along maybe too well.

I think Id rather stay here with you.

I know youre worth saving, Chief Carter said to her.

But does Mare think that about herself?

I do believe that what Mare did to Carrie was wrong.

No, I wasnt.

Erins uncle Billy: Im suspicious.

Dylans parents seem like nice people.

Were assuming that Jess was telling the truth about Frank.

You know what assuming gets us.
