"The show's ingenuity lies in the fact that the answers to these questions only create more questions. Who is the real target of "the Department," and what does he have to do with the Singletons? Who is this stranger who shoots Axel, Sarah, or both? What does he want? What is Gerard's role in all of this? I'm not as convinced as Sarah that he's not actually involved in this mess."
"When she learns the news of her husband's passing, she's in bed with a married Irishman. Interrogating her, the police seem convinced that Joe killed himself. When Zoë insists that Joe was not a depressed man - being a private investigator, no matter how ordinary in kind, was his dream job - one of the officers points out that he was a poetry reader. Besides, Zoë and Joe were in debt and their marriage was on the outs."
Two answered questions—where Dinah Singleton is and who killed Joe Silvermann—lead to further mysteries about the Department's true target, a shooter whose victims may include Axel or Sarah, and Gerard's unclear role. Zoë Boehm assumes responsibility for uncovering the truth, identifies Joe's body, and demands the police find his killer. She learns of Joe's death while with a married Irishman. Police consider suicide plausible because of debt and Joe's poetry readings, but Zoë insists he was not depressed and was squeamish about blood, making wrist-slitting unlikely. Sarah is revealed as the one who found Joe, and Mark questions Sarah's hiring of a private investigator.
