'The Beast Must Die' Season 1, Episode 3 Recap
The problem with a plan to murder someone is that you have to go through with it.
George: In the real world, if you're smart enough to get away with something, you probably deserve to.
As The Beast Must Die continues, there's a real problem that Frances is starting to encounter. Murder is not easy. Like, it takes nerves and balls of steel, neither of which she has. Frances has passion on her side — her child is dead, she wants revenge, the whole nine yards. But a "crime of passion" requires to be in the throes of, well, passion. And though Frances certainly has her PTSD moments of emotional rage, from last week's car ride to this week's swimming pool memories, none of them are forceful enough (or timed correctly) to do George in. Well, except one, and she still doesn't do it because she loses her nerve.
