The fourth episode of Gracepoint gave us more information about some of our characters, but also made us even more suspicious of the people involved in the case of Danny Solano. So many questions surround many of the individuals we have learned about, such as what do Susan and Vince have in common, and will Beth confront Mark over what he has done?
We also found out the phone number in Danny’s pocket belonged to the hitchhiker, Lars Pierson, that someone had seen him talking to before his death. The detectives are searching for him, especially since they found out he is on anti-psychotic medication.
There are also more questions surrounding Danny’s friend Tom, such as his connection with Vince and his snooping in regards to his mom’s work items? Plus, Susan invited Vince over to dinner to discuss something mysterious, but he did not show up. Is this connected to Danny?
Another moment this episode surprised us with was the information that Detective Carver is sick and could die from the stress of this case. Is Carver willing to put his own life on the line to catch a killer?
While we still don’t know who the murderer is, let’s look at some of the ten pieces of information we have gathered after this last episode. Do you have any suspects in mind?

10. Danny stealing
This episode led to the discovery that at one point a couple weeks before he died, Danny had stolen an item from a drug store after he road with Dean, Chloe’s boyfriend, to find cocaine. We have to wonder why Danny was stealing and why he wanted to leave Gracepoint so badly that he would go with Dean, who he did not know very well.

9. Eager beaver
While Detective Carver and Detective Miller have been butting heads, we had a small moment when Miller began teasing Carver for calling her an “eager beaver.” Carver isn’t amused, but then he calls her very “peppy.”

8. Carver slips
After we find out that Carver is in danger of being fatally ill due to the stress of this case, a scene shows Carver collapse after chasing Dean, who has run from both him and Miller when they come to question him about the cocaine. Carver does not tell Miller why he fell the way he did, but it is clear something is going on with him and we can only wonder if this case will get to him before he can finish his investigation.

7. Dean’s a suspect
Chloe’s boyfriend, Dean, is a suspect in Danny’s death, especially after the man he got cocaine from tells detectives he saw Dean yell at Danny. However, it is revealed that Dean was upset with Danny because he saw the items that Danny stole from the store and told him not to do things like that.

6. Owen’s mom
While this may not seem significant, we really don’t know much about what could be important in these characters lives. In this episode, we found out Owen’s mom has been having issues and that he could not get money out of his account because it was overdrawn. He goes to Ellie for help in talking to her. Owen has not been doing much with the investigation, but Renee notices the discussion and goes to his apartment later to talk.

5. Beth knows Lars
Beth had not been home when Mark was given a photo of the hitchhiker who was seen with Danny. However, when Beth comes home and sees it herself, she realizes she knows who he is and goes to see Ellie. We find out that Lars came to the visitor center weeks ago to ask about campgrounds. He saw a photo of Beth’s kids and told her he had a “beautiful family.”
Beth knows Lars Pierson? Maybe it's important that the detectives stay in contact with the family. #gracepoint https://t.co/ClbCWxXhZq

4. Tom looks at evidence
In a scene after dinner at the Miller house, Tom quietly looks through his mom’s briefcase while she is in the kitchen with her husband. He sees the photo of Lars and then the number that is scribbled in Miller’s notebook. Later, Tom looks the phone number up on his computer. One can only wonder why he would do something like this and whether he knows the hitchhiker as well.

[new page= Chloe knows about Mark and Gemma]
3. Chloe knows about Mark and Gemma
In the episode before this one, we saw Chloe message someone to come clean about being with Mark Thursday night. We got confirmation in this episode that Chloe knew something was up with Gemma and Mark because of how they looked at one another.

2. Yes to dinner
Ellie Miller’s husband urged his wife to invite Carver to dinner so they could get to know him. Ellie eventually asks Carver, who seems confused at the invitation but when Ellie asks him to say yes, he agrees.

[new page= Beth and Mark talk]
1. Beth and Mark talk
Beth and Mark exhibit tension this whole episode, with Beth asking Mark to leave the room so she can change at one point. Later on, Mark comes down to apologize to Beth for not telling her that Chloe had a boyfriend, since he had seen them together and did not tell Beth. She tells him that she does not feel like she knows her own family, especially after finding out Danny stole, and she asks him to promise that there is nothing else that she does not know about her family. He does not respond.
Beth doesn't think she knows her family. Vince is nowhere to be found. To be continued, West Coast. #gracepoint
