The case takes a turn when Lindsey McNamara, the medical examiner, runs Victoria’s fingerprints and discovers they’re linked to convicted felon Denise Deposito who was killed in prison. They have no idea as to her true identity. What questions immediately came to mind for you? Any new suppositions?

Who is Victoria and what is she up to. Initially, I thought she was a criminal of some kind, but I didn't have a clue beyond the fact that she was up to no good.

I thought she was a Russian plant to get information on the Nelson administration.

It was immediately clear to me that she was not only a plant but that the Patterson campaign was behind it. The foreshadowing of Arnie Patterson as an independent candidate gathering popularity stood out to me.

Lauren, I missed the foreshadowing and you are right, it was there all along and not very well hidden.

Having worked around this stuff for almost 20 years and participated in background checks, the first thing that came to my mind was how in the world did she pass one given Derek’s job? This was a big deal. I thought this was the first thing they needed to explore because it screamed of a security breakdown.

I thought she was planted to find out information about the Nelson administration. I never really thought about Patterson being behind it. (Good job, Lauren!)
