Femi

If someone glances over her shoulder and sees a text from “Kevin” they know it’s her B.I.L. who she works and directs a play with.

Charlotte

Lucas says to Nicky-Rose he has “two other birds.”

Femi

Amelia and Georgia.

Charlotte

Is Kevin having an affair with anyone at all?

Femi

There’s still the sighting of him with Fran (or someone), but those text exchanges all sound like Lucas.

Charlotte

Where does Nicky-Rose go on play night?

Femi

She’s not seen after curtain-up on that first night of the play. Not long before Father Josh is murdered in the lane.

Charlotte

The stage gun went missing. It was found afterward in the pocket of Henrietta’s smock: Amelia’s stage costume.

Femi

The following day, Amelia says Nicky-Rose “won’t be doing business with anyone for a while.”

Charlotte

Implies she’s already confronted NR about her affair with Lucas.

Femi

Yet Amelia is still physically compromised by her injury.

Charlotte

She may have a crutch, which could be used as a weapon. And a gun would require very little physical exertion.

Femi

Where would she get a real gun from?

Charlotte

Even if Amelia did confront Nicky-Rose, how could Father Josh have been caught up in it?
