This episode was a continuation of the investigation from the last episode up until the arrest of Dr. Pou at the very end.
I like the linear storyline of how the two investigators kept building up the case, but it gets to the point where the pacing is a little slower than I thought it should be. The damning evidence against Dr. Pou is piling up, but compared to Fink's book, it feels Pou is being scapegoated overall by Ridley's storyline (she wasn't in real life) compared to the factual, real-life situation (complicity with the other two nurses and Tenant's mounting legal nightmare), as the actual investigators were investigating Tenet at the same time. It seems John Ridley is doing real-life Tenet a favor by not scrutinizing them (this could be so Ridley doesn't get sued by real-life Tenet), but we'll see if that changes for the finale, as Tenet is the real antagonist of this story.
The other annoying part to me are still the characters of the investigators, as I am not sure how they are talking to all of these people without legal representation, and simultaneously annoying, the investigators just seem to be casually chatting with the hospital staff and not investigating a homicide. I still don't know why white collar crime agents are investigating homicide in this case (this is a job for top-tier detectives to handle, which they did in the real life story), as this storyline is starting to get really sloppy to what really happened.
I'll still watch the finale, but it seems this series is going out with a whimper.
