Ooh, maybe that’s why she’s not being helpful to Judith. And for a moment there I thought Sheriff Tim and Judith had gotten a hell of a lot closer in between stories but no. Oooooh. Was the morning sickness Samantha? Did she go see Clem and perhaps died from the abortion? But wouldn’t the coroner see signs of that?? Hmm…

I can’t trust myself to comment on the theories without giving away spoilers. 🙈😅

Oh I do understand! I struggle the same way. I’m sure it’ll turn out to be terribly wrong but half the fun is the theorizing. The other half is your brilliant storytelling.

Unless the coroner is in on it somehow maybe?

Someone must be in on it if they didn’t find her in the field on the first pass? Maybe?

Didn’t see that twist coming

Bridget, I feel like I'm being reeled in, slowly but surely. Wasn't moved after death, didn't find her the first pass through and no cause of death can be found...great mystery unfolding. Can't wait for the next episode. - Jim

Eee! This is such an intriguing twist! And can I just say I love the rapport between Tim and Judith?! Their dialogue is so good.

They’re such a fun duo to write! 😆

Ohhhhh, this is getting hairy!

Just my thoughts out loud... the way Judith felt when Clem came out, sort of seen-through and out-of-place, I almost wonder if she has some powers of her own. Either way, the local herbalist is always such a complicated person of interest in these situations...

Anyway. You're right, Tim is a punk! But he's so good with people and he's so good at his job. I love him.

Clem is such a great character, and I absolutely love the description of her garden. Somehow suspecting we’ve not seen the last of her 👀
