@alexlimberg I think it was kinda on point with the theme of the other seasons where our MC goes against the police system and forces that be in order to find their personal answer in the case. Evangeline and Liz aren't friends but I think in last ep and in this one we've seen that both are ready to really throw everything into this case to find justice and that shared passion is gluing them together. That being said, it does feel a little odd that the web of lies thing happens to quickly - that everything leads back to the mine's power (although there is some reasonable foreshadowing with the protesters).

Wow. That ending though. (I know it's predictable that the pace only picks up in the last 10 minutes but still.) Still don't understand why they had to disguise the truth. As if that's the usual way the police behave after shooting something. I mean, I understand that they are kind of trapped and entangled in a web of lies, but surely there must be a better way. Like asking the feds for help or something if you don't trust Anchorage. Instead she causally proposes to hide (yet another) crime. And then she brings in Evangeline? Why? Was that panic? That's one more person who knows and one more person who's entangled in this incident with probably severe consequences for Evangeline's life and career. Plus, Evangeline and Liz are not exactly confidants, are they? I still think that they can't stand each other.
This is the first episode with actual proper police work (admittedly mostly by Prior) and w/o too much of that scary stuff or paranormal activity (and that little otherworldly stuff in it can be easily justified with a trauma from the past). Thus, the best episode of season 5.
