I feel like whatever it is we will not guess accurately anyways and I am just thoroughly enjoying not knowing what wild things are going on.

Sam is hiding the real reason he wanted a job at the OIAR and why he's so interested in the Magnus Institute.

Alice has definitely seen more shit than she's letting on. There is a reason she is so adamant that Sam ignore the cases and stop looking into things. I think she knows exactly how dangerous this stuff is.

Why is Gwen so intense about this job? Why is she gunning so hard to be in charge? Why is she still here when she seemingly has the means and opportunity to do something else?

Colin knows the computers are listening. He probably knows or suspects even more that's he's not telling anyone else about.

Lena... Well after this episode she's starting to look real nefarious. But even before that the way she talks during Sam's interview and her conversation with Gwen makes it seem like she is very aware that this is not just a normal civil service job.

For some of these episodes, a lot of folks are giving me credit for stuff I did not actually write. The cases for episodes 3 and 4 were both by guest writers, Graeme Patrick and Cole Weavers respectively, and they really deserve some love thrown their way.

That's not to minimise my own part: me and Alex certainly do editing work on them, and add in a few bits here and there to make sure everything cohesively fits in with the overall story and tone of the show, but if you enjoyed these episodes, then Graeme and Cole are the ones to thank for it.

And for that matter, Alex wrote episode 2 and deserves more of the accolades for how good that one was than I think he got (my edits just made it a bit... squishier).
