In Michael Ames' car, Terry Marek (Jamie Anne Allman) wants to continue the relationship that she has with him, but he (Barclay Hope) orders her to stop calling his house.
Outside the Larsen garage the next day, Sarah Linden calls Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) to ask him to question all the limo drivers from the ferry dock and to check Rosie's phone records.
Holder takes a phone call, learning that Rosie sent Ames a blackmail text in the weeks before her death, threatening to tell his wife.
At the police station, Holder notes that Ames' land development company supports Mayor Lesley Adams.
The detectives question Jasper Ames (Richard Harmon) at his house, who recalls seeing his father getting dropped off by a cab with a broken taillight at 4 a.m. on the night of her murder.
Carlson (Mark Moses) orders the detectives to leave the Ames family alone, adding that he pulled the casino warrant because of a lack of evidence.
Chief Nicole Jackson (Claudia Ferri) notices Linden's presence as she is arriving for the party.
Mitch’s keepsake box is open, and she picks up and later reads her unmailed letter written to someone named David Rainer.
At the hospital, Jamie Wright (Eric Ladin) helps Darren Richmond prepare for a televised interview.
In her motel room, Linden finds a drawing from a previous case attached to the refrigerator door.
Club's Brandon Nowalk rated this episode a C, saying "The investigation has a clear sense of momentum as the portrait is slowly being filled in.
In addition to dropping the dramatic twist endings (at least for now) the show is also doing a superb job of reintroducing characters and scenes without holding out hands.
"[3] Sean McKenna of TV Fanatic rated the episode 4 out of 5 stars, stating "Ultimately, The Killing continues to saunter along at a slow pace, but it's certainly attempting to focus on the healing of each character as Rosie's death did more than just reveal a deeper conspiracy.
"[4] The episode was seen by 1.35 million viewers and obtained an adult 18-49 rating of 0.4, marking the series' lowest numbers to date.
