'Dublin Murders' Episode 6: Lexie's murder has no connection to Katie's killing and the reason goes back to the source

Regardless of how hard he tries, Rob is unable to remember the events of that day.

We have officially entered the last leg of the Starz show 'Dublin Murders' with the previously aired Episode 5 on Sunday night, but we are no closer to solving the mystery any more than we were in the premiere episode. If anything, the mysteries have doubled and tripled, and yet, we have zero conclusive answers about anything. 

In the previous episode, we saw Cassie (Sarah Greene) disillusioned by Rob's (Killian Scott) cruelty which was turned on immediately after they slept together and we also fully embraced the Lexie case. Lexie, of course, is her doppelganger and crazily enough has the same name as her childhood alter ego, and the undercover character she created in her earlier days as a detective. There are way too many questions about the Lexie character and her death, and hopefully, Cassie dressing up as her, and moving into her home with her roommates will help solve the case. 

Even as Cassie plunges into Lexie's life, we see that Rob has recovered some memories and is pretty shaken up about it. We see that Jonathan (Peter McDonald), and Cathal (Barry O'Connor) raped Sandra (Carolyn Bracken) when they were teenagers as Shane (James Browne) feebly protested in the background. Young Adam and his friends saw the whole atrocity from behind some bushes but were spotted by Cathal. He then chased them around and that is when memory fails Rob about what happened to his friends and him when he still went by Adam'. 

Regardless of how hard he tries, Rob is unable to remember the events of the day, how with his friends missing he was found by a local with someone else's blood filled in his shoes. And, when he makes a breakthrough, all he needs is Cassie. He wants her to know what he found out, but she has long shed her identity as Cassie behind to solve Lexie's murder. Seeing the woods became the murder site for both Young Katy's (Amy Macken) murder that Cassie and Rob were solving and that of Lexie as well, we had assumed maybe solving one murder would give clues regarding the other. 

However, the first series in 'Dublin Murders' is inspired by two separate books in the 'Dublin Murder Squad' series by Tana French, and it seems unlikely that despite the over-arching storyline, the stories be so interconnected that the murder, murderer or seemingly supernatural elements would be common for both storylines. So don’t expect Lexie’s murder to directly relate to Katy’s.

We will hopefully see both murders being solved - or at least starting to get solved - in the upcoming Episode 6 of 'Dublin Murders' when it airs on Sunday, December 15.
