The mystery deepens as townspeople’s true identities come out.
In this episode ofGracepointwe learn very clearly that two of the townspeople are not who they claimed to be.
In one case thats very literal: Susan Wright is in fact Ruth Erlick.

(Not a fan.)
But over Joe Millers Mexican food, he lets his history slip out.
He has one daughter, who lives with her mother.
Emmett also reveals insecurity when it comes to Ellie.
When she leaves the table he asks her husband, does she like me?
Emmett confesses that he thinks that he irritates Ellie, which is right.
When Joe tries to tiptoe around the truth, he tells Joe, You are a terrible liar.
Joe responds, And you are a terrible boss.
Emmett has a sense of humor about himself.
After he leaves he calls Julianne, who we now know is his daughter.
She, once again, doesnt pick up.
He leaves a message.
Before he makes it home he has another one of his attacks.
He makes it to his room, but collapses.
He insists that she cant tell anyone about what happened, worried they will take him off the case.
Gemma, I need to stay on this case, he says.
Remember the reason why hes in Gracepoint after all?
We see that most keenly in the case of Jack Reinhold.
So why did no one know about this?
Jacks not on a registry because his crime happened before the registry began.
Im not what youre insinuating, Reinhold says, but Emmett is keen to analyze his every move.
He even asks him about pictures he took of the boys in his wildlife group.
Vince Novik sees this and will later tell Mark Solano.
Im telling you I didnt do it, he says.
But there is more that weighs against him.
Oregon police reveal that there was a similar case around there 15 years prior to Dannys murder.
Jack used to live five miles from the scene of that crime.
The last we see of Jack, he is burning his photos, including one of him and Danny.
Once again the episode ends in fire.
That burning boat we saw at the end of last weeks?
It was doused in gasoline.
It contained Dannys hair.
The story comes out, and the entire town reads it wearily.
Owen is frustrated by how Renee (who he has now slept with) went behind his back.
She insists that Jack Reinhold can be a follow-up and they will be ahead of everyone else.
Mark goes out and attacks the photographer, breaking his camera.
Renee asks if Mark was her first boyfriend.
The show then cuts to Paul Coates, praying.
One might have suspected that connection, but that all about confirms it.
As they talk, both Ellie and Beth notice Paul Coates lurking.
How long has he been standing there?
Why is he awake at this time of night?
Hes another person whose alibi for the night of Dannys death is unstable.
He says he was alone, in the rectory.
Nearly everyone shows up, including Emmett, save for Mark.
Pauls sermon is about looking at people with suspicion.
Where is this coming from?
Not that Paul is wrong, but is he also personally feeling persecuted?
Shame on those who come to Gracepoint to stir bitterness and turmoil, he says.
To turn neighbor against neighbor.
And shame on us, all of us, for allowing it to happen.
Do not get involved or you will live to regret it, Emmett says.
Beth also continues to believe him, bringing Ellie and Emmett into hear what he has to say.
Yet another person in the town of Gracepoint whose past is not in line with how he presents himself.
Raymond sitting in a rain-soaked car, beats his hands against the steering wheel.
Susan Wright
Oh, Susan, you keep getting stranger and stranger and this time youre positively frightening.
Susan tells her to stop asking questions, saying, I know men whod rape you.
Yet, this town seems to be teeming with them.
And lets not forget theres the outsider to pay attention to.
After church, Ellie attends lunch at the Solano house.
For a moment it seems normal, almost joyful.
And then theres Dannys presence.
