Wait, beneath the sea floor?

I loved this moment because of the way it shows Eddie's and Dulcie's different feelings about the situation. Because it's not exactly that they suspect Mike of being the killer because they suspect he's gay; but on the other hand it sort of is, that's not not happening. It's muddy. And it feels to me like Dulcie's reluctance to suspect Mike isn't only because she knows him and likes him -- it's also because of this. Because Dulcie's deeply uncomfortable with feeling like Mike possibly being gay is what is making them consider him as a suspect.
There's a way that this moment in particular really highlights Eddie's and Dulcie's different relationships to queerness, I feel. Eddie's done stuff. Dulcie OTOH has seen some shit, and her friends have seen some shit, and she knows exactly what kind of cop she doesn't ever want to be (the kind who targets queers).
And at the same time it also highlights their different approaches to detective work, because there's also a way that Eddie can see the situation clearly while Dulcie struggles to. What matters to Eddie is that Mike might have had a reason to be full of rage and bitterness toward the victims. Part of that is definitely that Dulcie lives here and has a personal relationship to Mike and Eddie does not, but I think another part of it is that Eddie has been doing detective work longer.
This show is just so well-written and I love it <3
I love this fucking show

User has shared a screenshot of a New York Times headline reading, Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard. An official on the administration's antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization. /End image description.]
So this is definitely a case of "we did not expect Harvard to fight back and we forgot they have billions of dollars and the best lawyers"
