lol it was just a convenient plot contrivance. That was all.

Not sure I understand your hang up with it. Are you saying the dealer would have more scruples and refuse to purchase stolen drugs?

---

The dealer would have shot Robbie and Shelly and just taken the drugs for all the same reasons Freddie and his nephew (?) gave when they were going to take them.

---

what if she had more of it coming? and he is getting great margin...why kill the source?

or what if she actually has a good relationship with the person?

seems like you are making way more assumptions to not believe this than it takes to believe it.

---

I would assume it was obvious she was not an established dealer with a source. Like the whole Dark Hearts drug house robberies were public knowledge and any rival dealer would know precisely where those drugs came from.

I'm not assuming anything other than the context the show provided in which Robbie was clearly over his head and there were only 2 major players in the drug game until a mystery 3rd appeared at the exact right moment who was willing to give cash for what was established as publicly known stolen drugs.

Hahaha this is a wild take. Plenty of dealers treat 12 kilos like a normal business deal? Worth the risk? This is a huge red flag deal for "plenty of drug dealers".

You're not wrong. It's all crazy.

Did I miss something or did they address the conversation with whoever that lead us to think Kath was the mole?

Glad it wasn't just me who thought that was still a loose end

Finished this recently, really enjoyed it. Only part that irked me was ruffalo leaving his task force on the battlefield to ride with the criminal. That would kinda piss me off

I never really got into this one. I thought Mare of Easttown was amazing, but the storyline on this one didn't feel very captivating.

Once they IDed Cliff and then got the tip he was going through the trash, why didn't they go to his place of work (trash company) and ask questions? They would have linked Robbie way sooner. They went to Peaches work, but not Cliff's.

I thought it started really slow. It just seemed like a combination of a lot of things we had already seen before (Mare, Ozark etc.). The last two episodes were fantastic though!
