AV Club recap - Some Frequency “Interference” may actually be leading us to the killer

Only 5 episodes left of the season - so it looks like odds are good for the writers at least revealing the Nightingale's identity. I don't hold out much hope of him being caught by the finale, just keeping my fingers crossed against the finale being a cliffhanger of Julie's abduction.

Really hoped they'd ditched Gordo, alas.

I'm coming around on Gordo again. The scene where all of Raimy's male friends / love interests show up at once, and Gordo and Cop Guy bond over video games, was actually kind of fun.

Is it too obvious or are they setting up Ron who used to run the charity that sent delinquents to the Angel camp as the Nightingale? The victimized girl in the loony bin seemed very afraid of him specifically.

(I apologize for posting this a week after watching the episode when I've forgotten every character's name...)

Charity-dude definitely seems to be the prime suspect. I mean, they could pull a switcheroo and make him turn out to be the Renfield to the real Nightingale, or give him a Renfield later if they need to stretch the story out longer. Either way, I don't think they can have him turn out to be unconnected to the Nightingale plot after this setup.
