Three Up
3. Mitch Larsen. Not sure she's actually a winner, but she's at least made steps towards winning. After seeing the same girl on the road and at her motel, Mitch buys her a meal and gets a chance to get into her life a bit. The girl, roughly the same age as Rosie, kind of connects, but is still wary enough about Mitch's questions to keep her distance. She eventually takes off with her no good boyfriend, leaving Mitch alone again. Mitch looks sad at being abandoned again, but also looks like she's beginning to understand where she is now that Rosie is gone.
2. Alexei Giffords. Also not a complete win, as his mom gives him up to the cops, but after playing the hard guy he begins to give Linden and Holder information - until they have to let him go and a Janek-provided lawyer takes him to Janek. But he eventually comes to them and gives them information they need - that Rosie was scared of someone in a Town Car and that she learned (though we don't know how) that Stan was not her real father.
1. Darren Richmond. This was looking like a big loss for Darren, given his nightmare of Belko shooting him and his inadvertent wetting himself. But then Jamie shows up after meeting with a contact (and apparent former girlfriend) in the DA's office, who lets Jamie know about the faked toll booth photo. This changes Richmond's tune dramatically, as he swings from despair to a plan to destroy the mayor in about five minutes.
Three Down
3. Tracey Marek. She's mostly been in the background keeping a handle on the kids, but her role in the Larsen household comes into question when her parents stop by. They're concerned about Mitch, but her dad also notes that her staying at the Larsen household is unseemly, and he's worried she'll end up alone as the men in her life tend to be transient. It doesn't help when, later on, Stan comes into her room and they kiss. Before they can get too into it her phone rings, but the new complexity of her situation hits Tracey hard. Not so hard that she can't keep the Beau Soleil appointment the phone call was apparently about, but whatever she may have been feeling about Stan is now front and center.
2. Sarah Linden. Parental issues come to the fore again, as she tries to help Jack through being sick via phone, which leads to a visit from his dad (he's actually in the room when she gets back, he's lucky she didn't shoot him). He's concerned about Linden caring more about Rosie than her own son, and there's a hint of truth to his accusation. Linden also has work issues, as she continues to run into roadblocks set up by Captain Carlson. There's also a weird blackout at her place before Holder and Alexei show up, which sets her on edge. The professional end of things pick up at the end, but there are troubles looming.
1. Stan Larsen. Let's see, Stan gets grilled by his in-laws about Mitch's absence and then tries to give possible suspect names to Linden when he sees Alexei in an interrogation room. A meeting with a lawyer suggests that Stan's going to do time, and when he gets home he seeks comfort from Tracey. So even when he tries to do good, bad results. He'll be lucky to just get some jail time at this point.
