Some observations and questions after episode 2.

I feel sorry for Evans who seems to have been just bullied into a confession by the police much like Brendan Dassey was in "Making of a Murderer". Extremely sad.
But whereas Dassey is classified as mentally subnormal then it seems like Evans was reasonably smart (although a bit *beep* at lying) but easily influenced, but that doesn't explain to me why he felt the need to protect Christie when he was arrested.
He could have spilled the beans about Christie's pretense to be a doctor, the botched abortion and his part in it, the disposal of the body under Christie's guidance and Christie's promise to take care of the baby by giving her to the childless couple in Acton.
Was he a pathological liar or was he so weak that he buckled under the police interrogation and they were desperate for him to confess?
In either of which cases then something doesn't add up to me in terms of the story that we're being told.
Maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but it doesn't gel to me.

If the opposite of Love is indifference, what's the opposite of Hate?
