So there's good news, and bad news for The Beast Must Die this week. Let's start with the good: George is still alive.

Frances: And if we leave early, we can avoid stowaways!

That may sound like a ridiculous statement, considering the show's title, The Beast Must Die, literally refers to George. It's also a rather startling one, considering the plot of the novel we're supposedly following requires George to die to get on with it. In the book's timeframe, George would have been dead about two episodes back, leaving the series to focus on Frances trying to keep herself out of the crosshairs of the police searching for his killer as her alibi and cover story collapse. Instead, here we are, two-thirds through the series, and George still stands.
