Could that call between Neal and Peter have been any slashier?

Closer: they are going to let her off with just losing her job and maybe a scandal in the final episode, right? No way they will have the guts to send Brenda to jail?

Wow, they are really going out of their way to make us dislike Brenda. She really is willing to do anything to get a suspect, including suggesting to a mentally ill witness/victim that she was in danger and trying to ambush her with the man that Brenda believed had raped her. I love(d) that she is persistent and wants to put the bad guys away, but these blinders are ridiculous.

yeah, and while I suppose it can be argued this is Brenda's trajectory, I think it is going too far.

I'm not sure this is going too far. I think the writers have decided to make it clear that Brenda is one of the bad guys. I suspect that at some point someone looked over the her history, realized that she really was a serial killer, and decided rather than ignoring to make that the theme of the series conclusion. (And kudos to Buffisitas who spotted this long before i did.) I think they are showing that Dirty Harry (or in this case Dirty Harriet aka Brenda) is a monster.

I agree at what they are showing, I don't agree that the Brenda we have now is the one who showed up in the pilot.

Fair enough. But one could say that she changed without either us or her noticing it. She stepped over lines the Brenda in the pilot never thought she would step over. Amd we only realized it in retrospect. She had just huge justifications for each one of them that she never looked at what they meant in context, setting up bad guys to be killed over and over again. And when she did realize (the wine/blood on the papers thing) she repressed it and became even more end-justifies-the-means in her day to day worklife.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think that there is a difference between pushing the boundaries of one's work (all judgment calls) and being a sociopath and I think they are going with the latter for Brenda.
She had some problems in DC (Atlanta) before she came to LA, so did she not learn from her mistakes at all? I have been ambivalent about the character because the way she treated Fritz has been kind of unreal, but the last year or so seems to be quite out of bounds. It's like the show went "Mentalist" on me, and I don't like that.
It's like they want to remove all subtlety of what occurs in confessions to make a larger point - about which I don't know.
