Re: Philomena Ep 4:18
Honey West - thanks for mentioning that again, I had forgotten. Yes, why bring up Kate's sister, she will be involved in the story somehow. Red often has more than one reason for doing what he does, so its very possible he engineered getting the WP list for more than the one reason he stated. and as Tuxie400 has mentioned elsewhere, WP has come up a couple of times in the season now.....

Why a bounty hunter? And an artful one, eh? Artful because they can find anyone anywhere? or artful in a literal sense?
More to be excited about :-)

Re: Philomena Ep 4:18
Yes I thought that too, and his name is Hunter! LOL
So the question is, if its him - who hired him - and was it him after all who picked up Kate in the truck?
the plot thickens!

Re: Philomena Ep 4:18
hmmm, maybe that's where he hangs out in between assignments. In his cabin in the woods. He probably works/ed for Red but since he helped Kate he gets on Red's list. Wouldn't it be something if it turns out that Red has known that Kate survived all this time?

Re: Philomena Ep 4:18
I wonder whether Philomena is the bounty hunter or the Blacklister behind, or associated with, the bounty hunter. Not too far up on the number scale so probably not the big bad (my guess).
I wonder whether there is any fictional link to the real life story of Philomena. She was sent to a convent when she became pregnant, and the child was forcibly adopted (i.e. taken from her) and she never saw him again. Fifty years later, a journalist took up her story and tried to help her hunt down her long lost son. He did find him but it was too late - he had already died several years earlier. Neither mother nor son ever got to know about the other.
St. Philomena is the patron saint of infants and babies. I think someone mentioned that earlier in the thread.
Interesting. No cast included yet for Philomena - but of course ultimately could be in the episode under another name.

Honey West - I think there is definitely more to "Hunter" than meets the eye. either he is a blacklister or other "wanted" person who went off the grid, a former spy and/or is helping Kate. I think we will find out soon!
And yes I think there is the possibility that Red has known for a while that Kate is alive, if Hunter is affiliated with Red. I wrote somewhere on another thread (can't recall which, LOL!) that Red's current state of mind might not be just guilt from having decided to kill Kate, but despair from the depths of betrayal seeming closing in on all sides of him.

Re: Philomena Ep 4:18
Why didn't we ask this question before? Why didn't Red have someone bury the body. Oh, yes, he had murdered his cleaner, but surely he had some goon he could hire to bury her? He never left a body unburied, or properly disposed of, even in one square mile of pristine woods.
FYI, Lara - St. Philomena was a 4th century Christian, 13 year old girl of wealth.She had been lanced and martyred. She is the patron saint of infants, babies, and youths.

Re: Philomena Ep 4:18
Exactly! Very sloppy of Red to leave a body out in the woods. Not like him at all. In fact he has been very un-Redlike this year. I had been figuring that the writers left her there for Dembe to not-find. I always figured he would never leave her to the indignity of just decomposing out in the middle of nowhere. So he either thought Red had it taken care of or else he was afraid Red would figure out he went back there. But even if it was the latter, I don't think he would worry about what Red thought about his actions. Red would be miffed, but he would have to know that since Dembe is a "good man" that he would be compelled to do that. I dunno, something there just doesn't make sense to me. Unless Red knows she probably survived and he missed on purpose.

Re: Philomena Ep 4:18
I think there is some kind of twist for sure!
