- TriviaThe killer puts a glass on the old man's head and tells him he will kill him if it falls. This was a trick used by Joseph DeAngelo, a real life serial killer/rapist known as the Golden State Killer. DeAngelo, who was active in the 70s and 80s, would often tie up victims and their family members and place dishes on them as a kind of alarm system. If he heard a dish fall he knew that the person was moving around.
- GoofsAbbey says that without the source they won't be able to link the murders in their story. But Kirby only linked her own case with Julia's, via the killer's voice. She and Dan linked the other cases through the similar wound patterns and the trinkets left at each crime scene. Her testimony wouldn't be needed to link those cases.

The Potential is actually Happening
The moments here are just after her attack down on the beach. Harper is lurking about and he heads in to see Kirby, who's receiving treatment and unconscious. He's confused over how she managed to survive. Back in the present, Dan speaks to the team at work and brings the case to Abby and the others. There's still the subject of the tape though, but the fact that Dan has uncovered clues linking the seven women to the killer is enough for Abby to give the green light to explore this further. Kirby wants to help, so Dan tasks her with picking up the madrigal tapes. Shining Girls' latest episode slumps into the familiar pattern all AppleTV shows seem to follow. A long, drawn out chapter that doesn't add very much to the overall story. This laborious chapter takes its sweet time getting to the crux of the issue, which can be chalked up to Kirby and Dan learning what the victims have in common and Kirby's meeting with Harper. Everything else in this episode really doesn't add very much to the story at all. Sure, it's nice to get some investigative work and the show has an eerie atmosphere but that's not enough to keep things suitably interesting and engaging across the whole 40 minutes. Hopefully the rest of the episodes can improve but this one felt like a bit of a dud. When Marcus catches wind of this, he decides to tag along with his wife. The pair pick up the tape and begin playing it, where they quickly realize there's echo on the line. At least the one where Julia speaks to Harper anyway. That echo looks like it could actually be a recording of Julia played back to her. As we soon learn, Kirby had similar calls herself prior to being attacked. Dan does his rounds and stumbles upon a breakthrough after speaking to Summer Francis' "roommate". It turns out Harper is leaving items found in the residence of one victim and placing it inside the body of another. Harper's randomness was enough for the police not to take much attention to how these women were linked, but Harper had a knack for getting close to the victims. With a breakthrough at hand, Kirby decides to step up and agrees to be interviewed and come forward as a surviving victim to give this story validity.
