What we learned/new notes
-Joe is now free from jail so it’s safe to say that all Hell is going to be breaking loose.
-I still believe that there has to be a mole in the FBI, but it’s not really clear who it could be yet.
-Will Charlie be punished for letting Claire escape from his grasp?
-What is Louise’s and David’s role in the group? It appears that they have some pull, they would have to be someone that Joe would trust to bring him to the house. Could one of them being Roderick?
