Clarice

Clarice has a similarly fraught relationship with the Bill case itself.
Catherines mother Ruth (Jayne Atkinson) sees things differently.
Her first case: an investigation into two dead bodies that bear all the hallmarks of a serial killer.
To a fault, in fact.
Clarice discovers that the victims are linked by their special-needs children and their participation in a pharmaceutical clinical trial.
And just in the nick of time.
Clarice non-fatally wounds the killer, who demands a deal in exchange for giving up whoever hired him.
In the end, Clarice bucks his authority and tells the press theyve uncovered a conspiracy to silence whistleblowers.
The decision actually makes good sense, from a character perspective.
It remains to be seen if its a trap from which the show can escape.
If it does, Id have to bet Rebecca Breedss performance as the title character will be the catalyst.
