Questions of Trust
In the seventh episode of Suspicion, Eric Cresswell is being chased by the police. He climbs into a stray car with an officer inside, begging for help. ..
This week, Sean and Vanessa continue to liaise with their contact in the US, tracking our suspects while Eddie communicates with them intermittently. Last episode we saw them preparing to head across to the United States and this episode picks up in the heart of New York.
Eddie skips away from the others and communicates with Vanessa loudly in the bathroom, talking about the operation. He doesn’t even try to be discreet. Well, that’s a problem because Aadesh follows and overhears him. Eddie claims he’s working undercover for Katherine Newman and not the police – but Aadesh isn’t so sure.
Eddie doesn’t tell the others what’s going on, covering for Sean when he catches up and asks what he’s doing with a little bullet phone. The phone Eddie has been using to communicate with Vanessa and Sean goes under the tyre as they head down to an abandoned warehouse on the shoreline.
Vanessa and Sean watch the tracker on the bag as it moves around. Tara worries that this has been too easy up until this point, but she’s the only one with the wherewithal to think this. The others just blindly follow. ..
It seems that Sean has a close relationship with Copeland too, although he doesn’t let on how or why.
After forcing all the gang into the car, telling them to wait it out, he shuts the doors to the warehouse and begins patrolling the perimeter, realizing that they’re not alone. And then a gunman shows up. Sean gets the better of him though and kills a second man who looks set to take out UK suspects. Covering the bodies in a tarp, Sean finally opens up about what’s happening. ..
Sean made a deal with Copeland, intending to bring these suspects together into this secluded area in order to interrogate them about Leo’s whereabouts. Depending on their answers would determine whether they survive or not. However, Sean’s earlier text message, “all clear. Tilson too” was actually sent to Copeland to lull the man into a false sense of security that they were all taken out. ..
As the van drives into the heart of the city, Vanessa and Sean keep track of it as the van drives all the way into the FBI headquarters. They know that if they don’t join Sean and head out to find Copeland, they will all go their separate ways and wash their hands of this. The choice is up to them.
The officers surround the vehicle, demanding that the driver throw out the keys. He does just that… as it’s revealed that he’s actually the guy in a digger back at the warehouse. Sean paid him off to be a decoy, paid $200 to drive off and lose them. And it’s worked an absolute treat.
The gang checks into a hotel room and listens as Katherine conducts an interview with a woman named Nancy on her show.
Cooper Newman, the first and biggest client of environmental activist and TV host Lisa Cresswell, has been revealed to have hired her to do a study on the environmental impact of her companies - a conflict of interest that has come under scrutiny. ..
25 years ago, Cresswell predicted climate change would cause devastating effects on the world, and even offered a solution – put 5% of the world’s GED into de-carbonization. With the whole world just stopping and watching on their phones and in bars, Nancy’s words hit hard as the interview ends with Katherine scowling and leaving.
In private, Katherine confronts Martin Copeland about what he knows but his pleas fall on deaf ears. When he leaves, Sean and the others pick him up and demand answers. He claims that one among them knows the truth and is responsible for taking Leo. But who? Well, a gunshot from across the room reveals all. Holding the gun up, the camera pans to show… Natalie.
The Episode Review
Natalie is the one who is responsible for taking Leo, given what we know about her. She’s been involved in corporate fraud and funneling money for herself for months, so it’s not much of a stretch to think she could be behind the kidnapping, getting greedy and wanting more money.
The twist in this mystery is that it turns out the person who was thought to be dead is actually still alive and on the run. The story has been rather average so far, with some editing issues earlier on only now starting to clear up.
The finale of “The Good Place” left many viewers on the edge of their seats, but it’s not clear if they’ll be satisfied with the end result. The show ended on a cliffhanger, and many are curious to see what will happen next.
