The investigation of the murdered prostitutes leads Kim & Bryant to two of the “punters” traced to being last seen with them. Kim’s encounter with Jeremy Templeton was complicated. Was she initially drawn to the man or was she always on the ready to do what was necessary to get information out of him? She caught Bryant off guard...were you? What did you make of Templeton?


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3484 comments I didn't think that Kim was drawn to Jeremy at all. She is very good at reading people. She picked up that Jeremy expects women to find him attractive. It is his way of capturing his prey. She played to his weakness. Bryant was caught off guard because Kim rarely does that. He is used to her cold side in interviews.

I thought Templeton was a sleazebag. As soon as he comes into the picture, I knew he was bad news.


Robin (robinmy) | 2450 comments I guessed that Kim was just playing along and flirting with Jeremy to see what he would say. That is not something she would normally do, so I could see why it caught Bryant by surprise.

I agree with Sharon. Sleazebag was a good description of Templeton.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) Definite sleazebag. No way would Kim be taken in by this type of man. She had him picked immediately and was playing to his narcissism. He is the type of man that thought he was irresistible to all women and Kim used this in her technique to try and lower his guard to get information. Surprising that Bryant being so in tune with Kim wouldn't have realised this and also played along.

Lisa, I think it’s a testament to Kim’s skills that she fooled both men. Bryant had never seen that side and had zero warning. He lost his balance.

I always knew Kim was role playing but was surprised at her own personal acknowledgment of how impactful this guy was.

I wanted Templeton to go down and was disappointed when Kim ruled him out as a murderer. He was most definitely a sleazebag (perfect term!) and it was wonderful seeing him captured in the human trafficking role.
