Monday, January 21, 2019 (S56E198): Another Victim

“Kevin” steps in the door of Lulu’s office; she thanks him for coming to meet with her.  He tells her it is his pleasure.  She asks him if he remembers how many people Ryan killed; he immediately says “nine.”  She looks confused; she asks why the reports only indicate seven… he says the other murders were never confirmed.  She starts reading off the names listed in the police report; “Kevin” starts repeating them with her.  She strangely thinks nothing of the fact that he knows the names of all the victims so well; he says two names that are not on the report. She asks if Ryan confessed to killing these other people to him – and if so, why he never told the police.  He says it would have just been hearsay, coming from him.  He steps forward and sees her wallet on the desk; he opens it and takes out her driver’s license (practically in front of her face).  He sticks it in his pocket; he pulls out the pocket-knife and gets it ready, all while Lulu pays no attention.  He tells her she is blind; he says the answer is standing right in front of her… literally, right in front of her, and she doesn’t even see it.  He stabs her.  He sits down to clean off his knife; she stands up, leaving a bloody handprint on her desk.  He sees her and shakes his head; “now I have to do it all over again,” he says.  He starts walking toward Lulu, gets a sudden headache, and passes out on the floor.  Lulu staggers past him and out the door.

Laura wonders why Lulu is late getting to the book signing; she picks up her phone to call.  Just at that moment, Lulu stumbles off of the elevator.  She walks over to her mother, and falls on the floor.  Carly calls for an ambulance; Lucy and Ava sit and talk about Kevin… Lucy tells Ava she could never know him as well as she does; she says he could never be with someone like her because he would never hurt anyone, or support anyone who does.  “Kevin” wakes up, gets to his feet and realizes he can’t see; he feels his way out into the hallway and to the elevator door.  He pushes the button and gets on when the doors open.

Lulu is taken to surgery immediately; they tell Laura that they don’t know if she will make it.  When “Kevin” steps out of the elevator, Ava sees him; he tells her he cannot see… she takes him to the hospital.  He is taken to a room; he asks her to go check on Lulu, claiming he heard she had been stabbed.  He says, he would hate for Laura to suffer the same thing Ava had to by losing her daughter; he says he would feel better to know she was going to make it.  Ava says she is the last person Laura would want to talk to about her daughter; he asks her to go anyway.  She does.Jordan and Curtis go to check out Lulu’s office; they find a bloody footprint outside of the door, and the knife on the floor.  They say the killer is starting to make mistakes; all they have to do is find that shoe and they have found the killer.  “Kevin’s” shoes are in a hospital bag on the bed next to him; Ava offers to take them home and bring him some slippers.  He thanks her; she takes the bag and leaves.
