The plot thickened in The Sinner 3.2, as of course it always does in this deep, multi-layered well of a mystery. We learn, for example, that Jamie initiated the recent contact with Nick, which, after who know what else happened, culminates with Jamie letting Nick bleed out and die after the car accident.
This is important. It shows, in case we had any doubt, that Jamie's letting Nick die was far more than just letting an old friend or accomplice die, after he showed up unexpectedly at Jamie's door, implicitly threatening Jamie and his pregnant wife. Jamie's prior recent contact with Nick tilts the balance towards Jamie being the really bad guy in this story. Which should not be all that surprising, since Ambroise is investigating Jamie.
Jamie's earlier contact of Nick even suggests that Nick may be more of a victim of Jamie than at first we thought. Who else was or is a continuing victim of Jamie? Likely Sonya the artist whose house Jamie and Nick were near, and whose property Jamie goes back to visit, looking for his cellphone. Though I suppose there's a chance she also is some kind of accomplice.
It also just occurred me to that maybe there's more of a connection between Nick and Leela than at first seemed the case. For all we know, Leela could have been faking her lack of knowledge of Nick, for Jamie's sake. Hey, for all we know, Nick could be the father of Leela's baby - though that's likely going too far, even for The Sinner.
But you just never know, is the whole point of The Sinner. As Ambroise investigates, he always discovers things that were right in front of him, and therefore us, all along. Which is what makes The Sinner such good television, and I have to say I'm so far enjoying this season more than season 2, jand ust as much as season 1.
