Taking evidence from an old crime and planting it in someone's car to get them on drug possession may have worked in 1940; but today, even in Nowheresville USA, it is too easy to get caught. Mare should have known that. Thus her actions made zero sense and did not fit in with her character up to this point. She maybe determined and bitter but she isn't stupid.

The birth mothers past history ought to be enough to keep her from getting custody. I would at least think so.

Great acting. New evidence emerges pointing to one of the priests. Drew still lives, but is he the father? Will Ken face the music for the shooting? How far will Mare fall to keep her grandson?

1) The idea of Mare planting evidence is completely stupid. Too easy to get caught of. She's not that dumb, she's determined and stubborn.

2) Why is the father of the boy still alive?? He was shot by his girlfriend's father and left in the forrest all alone. It makes no sense he is still alive, besides talking like nothing happened. The said some people found it but it is kind of ridiculous. The man shot him and was absolutely determined to kill him, why he didn't shoot him again? Or even make sure he was dead!!

3) The first minutes of this episodes were rush. I didn't like the scene when Mare confronts her ex-husband, everything happened very fast with no explanation.

4) They keep showing us scenes about Mare's daughter and her dates. I hope it is important at the end, if not... well it is a waste of my time.

• HUGE points for Evan Peters. He really stole this episode, I hope he gets an Emmy nomination.

The chief placed her on administrative leave after finding out she had planted heroin in her grandson's mother's car so that she couldn't take her son's custody. The deacon dropped Erin's bicycle from the bridge. Mare cannot accept the fact that her son took his own life.

Honestly speaking, the episode isn't a 2-3 nor a 9-10. Delving into characters' life is good, but not at the expense of a dismal flow lasting 60 minutes topped with bad editing contributing to almost nothing, besides highlighting the crushed characters, useless bar scenes, embarrassing "disputes" between ex-husband and wives and most importantly, a constant look of fatigue, stunned depressed state with repressed anger on the main character's face that make her totally unlikable and ruin her good acting.

I won't even start on the planted evidence, how futile and unprofessional it was, besides begging for more extended scenes, the handing over of her gun and badge and the last scene making it look like she's going to hang herself.

To some the show is deep and relatable; to me, it seems more like a character study with a mini crime investigation in the background. As such, it lacks speed, flow, minimum suspense and real action, and it's like 80 y.o. Detectives, relatives, family and friends strolling around in a camp full of retired people, already disgusted with life, with no aim, purpose and happiness left.

I hate bad plot lines and poor writing. Totally believable that a detective sergeant would go to the evidence locker and steal 2 bricks of heroin and not cover her tracks better. Also what's a small town police station keeping 36 bricks in storage?

A very disappointing.episode and needed more editing - what was the drunk bar scene all about ?
