Two other AMC shows have each had really good episodes that were really similar to this one where the entire episode basically just focuses on the two main characters: Breaking Bad "The Fly" and Mad Men "The Suitcase". I almost think The Killing writers were trying to recreate these episodes.

I wouldn't have minded (is that a word?) this one if it had been earlier in the season or even midway through next season if the show gets renewed. It helped develop Linden and Holder and obviously it pushed their partnership to a new level, but I agree that it brought the Rosie investigation to a screeching halt. At this point in the season I'd rather they just focus on the case, especially since the season almost over and the case hasn't really moved.

As for the killer - I'll go with the incumbent mayor, because I don't trust men named Leslie, except for Nielsen.
