The Killing: Season 2, Episode 9 “Sayonara Hiawatha” (B+)
This show is getting increasingly dark as its two protagonists continue to be cast aside from society, finding that they have no one but each other on whom to rely. In that process, however, they’re becoming much closer, as Holder learned that Sarah was institutionalized and didn’t ask her about it, instead telling her that she could talk to him about anything. That close trust is serving them well, as they’re able to watch each other’s backs and execute highly illegal and somewhat ill-advised missions. Holder letting himself into Gil’s house and eating his pasta arrabbiata while Sarah stole the GPS out of his car was extremely clever, and I loved the reference to the meaning of the Italian word, which is angry. Holder making a scene and drawing all the attention to himself at the casino was fortunate since Sarah would surely have been apprehended immediately otherwise. Discovering a badge is going to be extremely provocative, but I’m sure that she’ll have a tough time getting anyone aside from Holder to listen to her. Gwen’s attempt to intimidate Mayor Adams into backing down failed miserably, and things are not looking good for Darren’s campaign. Tommy killing animals is not what his father needs right now, and despite that unfortunate slap across the face, Stan is doing a decent job finally trying to connect with his kids. Mitch’s call came at just the right moment, but Stan did not want to speak to her after she abandoned them. In her first real confrontation with Rosie’s death since leaving her family, having Jonathan Cake’s David speak about Rosie in the present tense definitely didn’t help matters at all.
