Based on Sarah Palmer's obliviousness to the events of the previous
evening, Catherine and Ben thinking they were together that night
means nothing.

There was one very subtle, very nice touch. When Leland is straigtening
his tie, this look of confusion crosses his face for a couple of seconds.
Like Leland is inside, wondering what's going on.

The opera ain't over until the fat lady sings, and the fat lady (in the form
of Dr. Hayward) has most definitely not sung yet. I'll tell you what:  I
think we can agree that whoever's blood was on the "fire, walk with me" note
was Bob's host that night. If it turns out not to match Ben's blood, I'll
donate $10 in your name to the charity of your choice. If it turns out to
match Ben, you donate $50 in my name to the charity of my choice. That's 5:1
odds, you should be willing to offer better if you're so sure that Ben is
innocent. Deal, Richard?

I think she really doesn't remember. Making Catherine as alibi for Ben
worthless (from our point of view).

While estimating time of death is an imprecise art, this is clearly a lie
Leland is going to get caught in. And while seeming to implicate Ben
(firmly in jail during Maddy's murder), he's revealed his knowledge of
the existance of the secret diary. OK, all you Leland-did-its, after
40 years of hanging around in Leland, why this sudden disregard for
his host's continued viability? What is Bob's motive for his sudden,
devil-may-care attitude to Leland?
