'The Beast Must Die' Season 1 Finale
The final episode of most mysteries series is all about the denouement, the murderer, the reveal. But not when it comes to The Beast Must Die. Everyone agrees the beast being dead is a good thing, for one. Justice for his death would not be arresting someone but thanking them. And as for who did it, well, that's been evident from the beginning.
Frances: I'm not the one you should feel sorry for. I've had so much love in my life.
By waiting to kill off George until the very end of the show's penultimate episode, the series was left with only one installment to solve the whodunit. George died at home, with all four family members present, making them the four most obvious suspects. The murder weapon was poison, tramadol, a pain killer. Poison is a woman's weapon, though one could imagine Phil using it as well since he's a child. (Also, the show has made it very clear he's to be regarded as not very masculine.) In fact, everyone who would like the beast to die would use it, so that doesn't narrow it down very much at all.
