so, recapping the recap for myself:
-Girl Friday found Leo's journal
-Virgil has drawing by Leo of guy who told Leo he wld come for him, and Virgil is ~ going to get him?
-Knapp has found out that Kellogg is using books in the prison library to communicate with 'Emerson Jaynes' --receiving, it appears, a message giving him the Cains' private phone number-- and the floor guard is involved.

Conrad had an affair with a woman who is now dead.
MrsDalgleish: "Oooh! Even more Dun Dun DUN!!!!" and
"'I may have something for you' says King. 'Oh yeah?' says Knapp. 'You first, mine's better.' Heh. King: 'Conrad Cain has a dead ex-girlfriend." Knapp: 'Actually that's pretty good.'"

(WithoutFeathers at twop points out that) the scene showing TheVoice/Bill meeting Devere --
MrsDalgleish: "someone once had a beer in a town by a bay" -- was "a flashback to one year earlier (and it's the same bar in queens, and the same bartender that the Irish mob uses.)" huh so Bill and Devere are in proximity to whatshisface old 'friend' of Conrad's who was shot a few episodes back, night of the big Cain party.
oh and Bill & Devere conversation about being screwed by "the Conrad Cains of the world" suggests that the answer to "Who are the kidnappers after - Rand (Ellie's dad), Conrad, or Knapp?" is Conrad. but I suppose the people involved in orchestrating the kidnapping might have had various motives...

and Atkins is up to something or in on the kidnapping, together with Vance from internal affairs, who interrogated King about Virgil.

and good/weak kidnapper Otto got talked to about the missing Mexican doctor by the sherriff.
MrsDalgleish: "They wrap it up, but Otto, trying to be genial, says 'I hope you find your friend. It sounds like he was a great man.'- 'I should hope he still is,' says Espinosa. oops."

and the Cains appearred before the press, oh and Ellie MrsCain punched the reporter who leaked her story
MrsDalgleish: "Ellie is out of there. 'That was assault,' says Maureen to the agent. 'You're a witness.' Ok, TWoPers. You can write the agent's response yourself. Trite, but satisfying." wait did the agent really say sth, siding w Ellie? will the twopers take up the challenge? no. I guess MrsD just means it was obvious?

additional recap, comments, qstns in the good longish post fr catperson... twop p 26

-Knapp grew up in a commune? WTF? I totally loved that he found the clue, and the book that was used! Leo's! Is Leo involved? Whose copy was Conrad reading the other day? oh..Conrad was reading it? TibetanBookoftheDead

-Best line: Rand: They blew up $40 million. I mean, that's still a lot of money, right?
--I was amazed at that line. It boggles the mind to think how much money you must have to ask that question.

-Holy Bazooka! Virgil's secret arsenal! It's better than Mission Impossible's! Who is this guy?!
-Who could Virgil be gunning for?
--I know, He seems pretty focused, while nobody else seems to have the faintest idea who's involved. Shouldn't King and Knapp just drop everything, follow Virgil, and see who he shoots? that's funny, and yes.
