The Killing: Season 3, Episode 5 “Scared and Running” (B+)
This show is returning to its dark, brooding roots, offering up a somber and slow hour that includes some unsettling developments. After finally wising up to the fact that there might actually be something seriously wrong with her daughter, Danette did something right for once and called her daughter back to check up on her. That ending was haunting, as she reached into Joe’s bag to find the phone and then saw him open the door behind her. Like Darren Richmond, I suspect that Joe’s complicity isn’t cut and dry, and that this hardly means that we’re close to finding Kallie. Bullet seems to be warming up to Holder, and it was reassuring to see her bond with Linden in the car, even if it wasn’t a particularly warm moment. I love that Holder had a sweatshirt in his trunk to change into at a moment’s notice, a great throwback to his old style. It’s interesting to see Carolyn in Holder’s home life, and how nonchalant she was about Linden’s visit and Holder’s creative Valentine’s Day policy. Seward continues to be entirely unfriendly and awful to those around him, and his cruel response to Adrian’s foster mother was unnecessary and spiteful. Alton revealing the nature of his crime and how his siblings’ forgiveness affected him provided an excellent counterpoint to Seward’s attitude toward his crime and his impending death. Becker may not have trouble finding volunteers for Seward’s execution, but I’m sure that Seward will ultimately have the last laugh and find some way to torment those involved in ending his life.
