Three Up
3. Darren Richmond. Ladies and gentlemen, your new mayor of Seattle: Darren Richmond! Don't expect to hear a few words from him, though, as he's with one of his staffers, who is confessing to murder. And once that's over, he's going to break the heart of another one by "moving on" into politics as usual, as his first post-election meeting is with Chief Jackson and Michael Ames, who are recently sprung from jail and ready to talk about the waterfront. So while the man has won, his ideals have lost, badly.
2. The Larsen Family. OK, not a complete win given what happens the last time we see them in Rosie's room, but they are also moving on, literally, moving into the house that Stan bought. But before that happens they get a mystery movie in the mail, and it's Rosie's last film, where she tells them that she's taking off to see the world, but that she loves all of them and will return. It's a tearful yet positive bonding moment for the family, knowing that no matter what Rosie did love them.
1. Sarah Linden. She makes the final connection to what actually happened at the lake, and gets Terry to admit to what she did. She earns her badge back, but when the call comes in to her and Holder to pick up a new case she gets out of the car. She's also moving on, choosing something other than homicide, which is very much to her benefit. The last shot is of her walking, heading hopefully to get her life back in order.
Three Down
3. Rosie Larsen. Avenged, but still dead. Plus we get to see just how things went down the night she died, and it's pretty grim, especially when the car slips into the lake, and we hear screaming - until we don't.
2. Jamie Wright. As Jamie's drunk grandfather tells Richmond that Jamie lied about the story with him and his leg, old grandad also mentions that Jamie wasn't with him on the night of the murder. Jamie takes Richmond back to the office, and admits that he killed Rosie. She was on the 10th floor of the Wapi Eagle when Jamie met with Jackson and Ames about the bones buried on the waterfront, and Jamie beats her when she can't explain why she's there. He drives her out to the lake thinking she's dead, only to learn otherwise when the car goes in the water. He says he did it - did everything - to get Richmond into office. When the cops finally show up he aims a gun at Linden, and Holder shoots him dead. But as Richmond goes ahead and meets with Jackson and Ames, Jamie's result-oriented approach apparently sunk in.
1. Terry Marek. Now here's the twist. Turns out that Terry was with Ames the night of the killing, picking him up from the ferry. She drives him out to the lake when Jamie calls, and as Jamie and Ames argue, she hears Jamie say that taking care of this problem guarantees the waterfront deal, giving him his own money and a chance to break away from his wife. Ames doesn't want to be party to this, but Terry, seeing her chance at happiness slipping away, gets out of her car, goes to the campaign car, and puts it in drive. She has no idea it's Rosie... until the next day. Linden figures this out when in the Larsen's garage, as she sees Terry's car and figures out that she was the mysterious "cab" with the missing taillight. They get Terry to crack just as Stan and Mitch come back from the house. That's an ugly scene, but Holder manages to get Stan calmed and Mitch, as shattered as she looks, still manages to hug her sister. But where Rosie and Jamie are at peace, Terry gets to live with the knowledge that she put Rosie in the lake. No amount of hugging will clear that up.
