<span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">If you were a supersleuth, eagle-eyed viewers caught on a lot earlier that Errol may be the killer when he was first introduced back in episode three. </span>

<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">My colleague Nick even pointed out a GIF that hinted at Errol's true identity</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> (we get really into this). </span>
