- The police and media have their spotlight trained on Troels, who might still be holding something back. Meanwhile, there are strange goings-on at the Town Hall. Things come to a head between Pernille and Theis, while Sarah receives some troubling news.
- Having identified Orpheus, Detectives Linden and Holder now have to get solid evidence in order to make an arrest. A re-examination of the car reveals an anomaly in the mileage leading the detectives to try and trace the killer's route. It leads them to a site near where Rosie was found. When they get evidence the killer was in the area in the early morning hours on the day of Rosie's death, they make an arrest. All is not as it seems however.—garykmcd
- Open with Linden confronting Richmond in his office about being Orpheus. Richmond tells about the story of Orpheus, a Greek poet who tried to retrieve his wife from the underworld. Holder calls Linden to say the prostitute fingered Richmond for being Orpheus. Linden says her partner is on the way and awkwardly leaves.
Outside Richmond's place Linden tells Holder about the email. She says they need more evidence before they can bring him and plan to take a closer look at the campaign car.
Linden thinks Richmond switched to the traceable campaign car that night because the tinted windows provide anonymity. Linden notices the gas tank is nearly full.
Terry drops off Stan at home. He's not excited about seeing Mitch. He thanks her for bailing him out and she leaves. Stan makes eye contact with Mitch in the window, then gets in a car and leaves without ever going inside.
Linden found out the tank was half-full when Richmond grabbed I that night. This means at some point Richmond purchased gas and could end up giving them evidence.
Stan sleeps in his car at the cemetery.
We see Mitch going through an old scrapbook. Her father comes in and tells her Rosie asked for it.
Holder is confused that the odometer tells them Richmond put 120 miles on the car that night. It means that he couldn't have taken the ferry to the casino and must have taken the long route to the casino, over the Desolation Bridge. The bridge has a tollbooth and they plan to request the camera records.
During a public appearance Richmond is asked about a recent report exposing past affairs. He dismisses the report as bogus. Gwen wakes up and he says that he was hurting after his wife died but that he stopped all that stuff once they got together: "Look at me," he says. "You know I'm telling you the truth."
Oakes tells Linden to be careful with how she goes after Richmond. Jack is spending time with his father. Holder stops by and tells Linden about the affairs, pointing out they all resemble Rosie in appearance.
Linden and Holder meet with one of the women Richmond supposedly had an affair with, a former campaign advisor named Meg. She thinks Richmond is a good man with deep-seated sadness. She said she left him because it "hurt too much to stay."
Stan stops by to see Ahmed in the hospital. Ahmed is still unconscious. On his way out he runs into Amber at the soda machine. She doesn't realize who he is and begins sobbing. He assures that a baby is the best thing that happens to your life. She asks how many kids he has and he says "three." She says she bets he's a great dad and he walks away.
Mitch watches Terry and the boys flying kites from a distance. She walks away.
Linden and Holder are having no luck with gas stations along Richmond's probable route. They are also still waiting to hear back from the tollbooth about the security footage. Holder figures out based on the gas mileage math that just south of the bridge he would have been on fumes. There is a gas station close to Battery Park where he could have stopped.
Gwen comes to the office and finds Meg waiting for her. She's there to see Richmond. Meg tells Gwen about being questioned by Linden. Meg implies that her relationship with Richmond overlapped his relationship with Gwen.
A guy at the station tells Linden and Holder that the night of Rosie's death he remembers a dark car leaving quickly after paying. He thinks the reason what that there was a girl screaming. Linden goes behind the station and stares out at the woods. Holder comes out and says they are just three mile from Battery Park. They speculate Rosie must have run the three miles, which explains her cut foot. Linden thinks the chase could have taken all night: "He hunted her."
Jamie tells Gwen he didn't know anything about the affairs that have now made in the papers. Jamie calls Richmond "complicated." It doesn't sound like the recent revelation about Meg will keep her from working.
Terry tells Belko not to leave. She doesn't think Mitch meant what she said and that the family needs him.
Jamie and Richmond share a glass of scotch. Jamie thinks tonight's rally is "just icing." Jamie asks Richmond if he has any additional skeletons "Relax, you've got nothing to worry about," Richmond says.
Linden tells Holder to bring out the K-9 units to search the wooded area where Rosie was likely hunted.
Stan goes to the house he had secretly purchased for the family. He stares at the swing set.
Later that night one of Rosie's shoes is found. Linden starts getting emotional as she realizes that if Rosie had run in a slightly different direction she would have lived.
Linden goes to see Richmond. She begins shouting allegations about how he killed Rosie and he starts yelling back. He tells her "I did nothing" and says "look at me, you know I'm telling the truth." We see that Gwen is in a nearby room and heard this conversation.
Linden runs into Gwen outside. She tells Linden that on the night in question Richmond told her he "needed to get away" for a night. Richmond didn't return until dawn and when he did he was soaking wet. She hands Linden a disc.
While Richmond conducts his rally, Linden tells Oakes what she knows so far. Oakes still isn't sure they have enough to arrest him. Holder walks in with the evidence they need: Security camera footage from 3am caught Richmond in the campaign car crossing the bridge.
Cut to the police showing up at the rally. Richmond beats a hasty retreat but is placed under arrest by Linden. Surrounded by flag-waving supporters Richmond is placed in cuffs.
Linden tells Holder she thinks he'll be able to handle the paperwork to finish up the case. They both smile and Holder tells her to "get out of here."
Mitch tells Stan she doesn't think she's good for the boys in her current state. She doesn't think they need her. "But I do," Stan replies. He tells her their life has been better than he could have hoped for. Mitch says "Every piece of this place hurts me." She cries and he consoles her.
Belko watches the news report that Richmond has been arrested for Rosie's murder. He is cleaning his gun.
Linden walks out of the office as the camera focuses on a photo of Rosie.
Linden brings Jack to the airport. He wants to make sure they don't forget about his father but seems okay with them leaving town.
Terry asks Stan if he's heard the news. She asks where Mitch is. Stan says "She left."
Sitting on the airplane Linden gets a call from highway patrol. They tell her they will be unable to fill her request for camera footage from the tollbooth. When Linden tells the woman they already have the photos she tells her that the cameras on the bridge haven't worked for a month.
We see Holder getting into a car with an unknown driver. He says: "Photo worked. He's going down."
Linden is sitting on the plane, clearly disturbed by this latest development.
Richmond is escorted to a police vehicle. We see that Belko is watching from the crowd. Belko walks towards him with the gun drawn. He points the gun at Richmond from point blank range as the season comes to an end.
