Soooo...what did the note say? Time to speculate. Suicide note? If it were a "leaving town" note, then why would Alicia break into tears. And why no note (yet) to Cary? And is this really the last time this season we'll see Kalinda? Two more episodes left. Let the speculation begin!

It's not Kalinda's last episode. But I have no idea what's on the note.

Bishop is in jail, but unless he has Dexter killed before he spills the truth to him about Kalinda, Kalinda is going to have to run anyway whether it's from Bishop or Dexter. But if Dexter is killed before he talks, then Kalinda will be safe.

If she ends up being safe from Bishop, maybe in the meantime she makes arrangement to go somewhere and ends up leaving anyway. [cue L]

This episode could have been a finale episode. I actually wish there would not be two more episodes left in the season because the way things were left off now feels right to me.

This episode was so sad to watch- poor Kalinda. I felt for Cary too. I'm not sure about their romantic relationship, but I did always get that they had a special connection.

In one way, I think it was good that her 'big' final scenes were half lost through poor circumstances- that does seem fitting.

But personally, I could have done without the Alicia breakdown at the end. I'm not really buying that. I don't think its a suicide note, as Kalinda had wanted to give it to her in person, which means it can't have been. But there was so much time for Alicia to forgive and appreciate Kalinda- and we never saw any of that. So for me the emotional reaction felt unearned and a bit cheap.

Up till then, I had some sympathy for Alicia, and I am actually quite keen to see where the writing takes her career next. I like the idea of the book, though it's hardly good television.

Alicia has lost everything, she has pushed every single person in her life that matters away. And when she sees that note from Kalinda, is the final straw. Kalinda the person she pushed away, she treated like ****, is STILL looking out for her even after all of this. I am so depressed and angry about this. I feel broken inside honestly. This show should be embarrassed of themselves for what they did to A/K. This is such BS. That ending killed me, I feel like staying in bed all day.

But this isn't really the end for Kalinda, yet, right?

Right but I doubt anything they do could make this any better really. Too much time has been wasted.

Now I wonder what was in the note. Enough to make Alicia cry...let's hope she now realises that she threw away a great friendship. Maybe now she'll be ready for ONE scene with Kalinda in the coming two episodes? Or is Kalinda gone for good? Their phone-call was nice, but that memory of Kalinda seemed kind of fake. It was nice, but it was obvious they weren't in the same room. Come on, is that what the writers were hinting at with their ''stay tuned''?! Maybe Kalinda put her NEW phone number on the card? So Alicia can reach her and help her out?

The whole misunderstanding was so typical..but funny.

All in all, one of the best episodes this season.

THIS:

This episode could have been a finale episode. I actually wish there would not be two more episodes left in the season because the way things were left off now feels right to me.

Could also be a series finale, but I am such a cynic!

Kind of?
