Body Moving Timeline IMO :)


I binged watched this only an hour ago, and found myself really pleased by it. I have also been watching a lot of other Crime/Dramas past couple weeks ie. Touching Evil, Wire in the Blood, Silent Witness, Wallander (Swe).

I don't normally comment or review on here anymore, but felt I would throw this out there.
😁 Bear with me... pls.

Body Moving Timeline.
1. Marcella in Bath at start of Ep.01: Soiled with blood. A. Blood is her own (will come back to this later). B. Soiled mess: This is from her messing with the body after she takes it out to dump. C. Important to not the only real cut/tear to her own flesh is the cut on her head. This portion is also at the end of the Body Moving Timeline.

2. Marcella follows Jason from work and watches him enter Grace's house with Grace arriving moments later.

3. Marcella sits outside in car, calmly, at this point, waiting to see if/or when Jason leaves or not. Obviously she doesn't want to confront his cheating ass :)

4. Jason leaves.

5. Grace answers door to a calm and rational Marcella.

6. They have a calm chat because, Marcella tells Jason later that she was 7 mths pregnant and not 6 mths as Rav stated in debrief: I might be wrong here.

7. Marcella leaves and more than likely drives around chewing over the conversations.

8. Grace is not harmed at this point by anyone concerned, nor upset by Marcella's visit as she doesn't tell Jason about her visit.

9. Between 11pm to Midnight Henry shows up and kills Grace and leaves her kitchen floor on display, having taken her cocaine filled necklace/locket with him. HE has probably entered thru front door with Grace's permission.

10. At this point Marcella pulls up and goes into the house. Door is open, as is with all Henry's kills. Having probably decided that she didn't get enough off her chest...

10a. Henry leaves out the back door having spent only minutes watching Grace suffocate. Hence neither Marcella nor Henry see each other enter or leave.

11. Shes enters kitchen and sees Grace, tied up with plastic bag over head. Checks pulse, realizes😀 she's dead, and that she must have done it earlier, having possibly gone into a fugue state.

12. This sends her into her first initial fugue state of the night.

13. She decides to get rid of body.

14. While rummaging around for a bag to place the body in, and while moving the body she hits her head on the kitchen benchtop. Cut to head, blood etc.

15. She is sighted by Mo.

16. In the fugue state she drives to dump body and gets cuts and scrapes from branches as well as dirt and soil from partial burial of the body. Back to Point 1.

Some other bit: Later she plays with a CCTV frame of herself in view arriving so as to keep herself out of the original, not the copy of the footage. I can't wait to see what she does in Ep. 01 of Season 2. Since it looks like she is about to go into her fugue states as Travis has left after trying to blackmail her and he is about to get get some.

Hassan the Taxi Guy is killed by Henry?
He must have thought he saw him go into Grace's house and figured to get rid of him by shooting him to throw them off his kill. Note he didn't deny killing him when the photo was presented during his confession.

Or, maybe Cara used Hassan to get to his house for their Sinner hook-up? When she initially stole the locket and chain.

Hassan the Taxi Guy is killed by Clive Bonn?
Maybe Clive thought he could have been placed at Grace's if he was using him for taxing around for one of his escort hook-ups. Maybe not.

Hassan the Taxi Guy is killed by Stuart Callaghan? He is the only one with a gun.
