The most recent episode of The Killing (“I’ll Let You Know When I Get There”) opened with rumbles of thunder (yes, again) and Bennet Ahmed’s beaten body. This episode was actually decent. New information was meted out in an appropriate fashion and sans red herrings. I suppose it’s about time to get down to business, considering there’s only another three hours remaining until we find out the identity of Rosie Larsen’s murderer.

Stan turned himself in for his unwarranted attack on innocent Bennett, while Belko was interrogated by Linden and Holder, but turned out to be just a sad guy who wishes he was a Larsen, thanks to his inappropriately slutty mom. Fiance Rick showed up to take Linden back to Sonoma with him, but guess what, she didn’t go. Her son Jack is now acting out big time, and the previews of next week’s episode show that he runs away, which threatens to derail the entire investigation (and reminds me of 24).

In terms of Seattle settings, Linden talked to a taxi driver in front of “the Federal Building,” which is a place in Seattle that exists, but the previous episode’s scene set at a public market located at 5th and Union was nothing close to Pike Place. (Hello again, Vancouver.) And the episode ended with Linden on a ferry, headed to Indian tribal lands and a casino from which Rosie had a keychain. This ferry turned out to be the mysterious Adela that Rosie was meeting at 11:45 the night she was killed, while the other ferry on this route, named “Veena,” is a nod to series adapter Veena Sud.

As to zoo news, the court case brought by animal activists against the zoo and the city for animal mistreatment was dismissed by a King County Superior Court judge. The activists had alleged that the zoo’s treatment of its elephants was cruel and inhumane. One of the African savanna exhibit’s patras monkeys (Kyle) is recovering after an arm amputation following a bone infection. And finally, the k.d. lang edition of ZooTunes is sold out.
