Recap of 'Stitchers' 1x03 “Connection”

The Stitchers team investigates the murder of a newlywed in Stitchers 1x03 “Connection”.  Cameron worries that Kirsten is getting too emotionally attached to the victim, while things heat up between Camille and Linus.

Ed Clark, the man who raised Kirsten, left everything he owned to Kirsten in his will.  Camille and Kirsten move boxes of Ed’s stuff into their place.  Kirsten isn’t interested in looking through his things, but Camille immediately starts the treasure hunt.  She’s on the lookout for anything valuable they can sell.  Clearly Camille is a woman with no personal boundaries.

Kirsten looks through photos while Camille examines an old stereo.  Kirsten finds an old photo ripped in half.  It’s a photo of Ed with Kirsten’s mom.  On the back of the photograph is the word ‘Remember’.  Kirsten wants to know who was ripped out of the photo.

Kirsten heads to the Stitchers lab, hidden deep underground beneath a restaurant in Chinatown.  Kirsten shows Maggie Baptiste the photograph and asks what the connection is between Ed and her mom.  Maggie says Kirsten’s mom and Ed Clark were just friends.  Ed Clark, Kirsten’s mom and Kirsten’s dad all helped create the Stitchers technology. 

Maggie isn’t forthcoming with information, which leads Kirsten to think Maggie is hiding something from her.  There are four possible motives: Maggie doesn’t want Kirsten to know something, Maggie thinks Kirsten wouldn’t want to know something, Maggie actually doesn’t know anything, or Maggie believes knowledge is power and wants to retain as much of it as possible.  Kirsten tells Maggie to keep the photo.  She’s already got it memorized.

Linus and Cameron offer to help Camille and Kirsten set up Ed Clark’s old stereo system.  They imply that women aren’t smart enough to hook up a stereo by themselves, which makes the girls immediately rebuff the offer.  Camille studied electric engineering and acoustic wave theory, so she’s sure she can handle setting up an old stereo.



The Stitchers team has a new case to investigate.  Lily Ross, a 25-year-old newlywed, was on her honeymoon with her husband Scott.  Lily’s body was found in an alley near the Santa Monica Pier.  She died of blunt force trauma.  There has been a rash of tourists getting robbed.  The police have questioned Lily Ross’s husband, but he was in shock and barely able to talk. 

Camille thinks it sucks that Lily was murdered on her honeymoon.  Showing her usual lack of tact, Kirsten asks why.  Dead is dead, no matter when it happens.

Kirsten’s stitch into Lily Ross’s memories is a difficult one because of the blunt force trauma.  The memories move faster than normal.  In Lily’s memories, Kirsten sees Scott Ross lie about leaving his phone at the restaurant.  She sees him talking on his phone, but she can’t hear what he is saying.  Kirsten sees someone grab Lily at the pier.  She jumps into another memory.  This time, she sees Scott tell Lily “Know what I hate about you?”  She also sees Lily find an envelope full of cash.  That’s enough money for Scott to hire a hitman to kill his wife.  Despite all the evidence pointing towards the husband’s guilt, Kirsten feels like he’s innocent.

'Stitchers' Sneak Peek 1x03: Camille Asks Linus for Help

Camille takes up Linus on his offer to set up their old stereo system in this sneak peek of Stitchers 1x03 “Connection”.  In another sneak peek for Stitchers 1x03, we saw Kirsten and Camille get offended by the implication that girls aren't smart enough to set up a stereo system. 

Looks like the girls had a change of heart.  They want Linus and Cameron to come over after all.  The stereo has 16 sockets, which makes for 298 possible tube to socket connections.  Camille makes it clear that she is capable of setting it up, but it’ll be faster with his and Cameron’s help.  They’ll get wine in return for their help.

Before leaving, Camille clarifies that she doesn’t think Linus is an idiot.  He’s more of an imbecile.

‘Stitchers’ 1x03 Sneak Peek: Kirsten, Cameron and Detective Fisher Argue

Detective Fisher and Cameron think Kirsten crossed the line in this sneak peek of Stitchers episode 1x03 “Connection”.

Detective Fisher is now a member of the Stitchers team, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to give Kirsten a free pass.  Detective Fisher is upset when Kirsten impersonates a police officer.  Kirsten is convinced that the suspect is innocent.  Detective Fisher isn’t sure if the suspect is innocent or guilty.  He is only after the truth.

Cameron is concerned about the residual emotion Kirsten feels toward the suspect after the stitch.  Kirsten has inherited some traces of Lily Ross’s feelings.

Kirsten could sense how Lily understood the suspect.  There wasn’t any anger in their relationship.  Even when he said that he hated her, Lily knew that he really didn’t.

Cameron warns Kirsten that sometimes people get hurt.  Kirsten asks Cameron if they are still talking about Lily.  Is Cameron actually referring to how the previous stitcher Marta ended up in a coma?

‘Stitchers’ 1x03 Sneak Peek: Cameron and Linus Annoy Kirsten and Camille

It is guys versus girls in this sneak peek of Stitchers 1x03 “Connection”.

Linus and Cameron offer to help Camille and Kirsten set up their old stereo system.  Kirsten gets offended by the implication that women aren’t smart enough to hook up a stereo by themselves.

Linus and Cameron think high-end audio is a guy thing and Kirsten realizes that she is surrounded by cavemen.

Camille studied electric engineering and acoustic wave theory, so she’s sure she can handle setting up an old stereo.

After the girls leave, Cameron tells Linus to learn how to speak to women.  Talking to his mother every night doesn’t count. 




The guys may have annoyed the girls in this sneak peek, but there's definitely chemistry between certain Stitchers teammates in the promo of Stitchers 1x03

'Stitchers' 1x03 Official Preview

Things heat up in the Stitchers promo for episode 1x03 “Connection”.  The Stitchers team investigates the death of Lily Ross.  Lily Ross was a newlywed who died of blunt force trauma on her honeymoon. 

When Camille says it sucks that the victim was murdered on her honeymoon, Kirsten shows her usual lack of empathy and says “Why?  Dead is dead no matter when it happens”.

This emotionally charged case seems to lead to romance among the Stitchers teammates.  Are Camille and Linus going to kiss?

Cameron tells Kirsten that sometimes people get hurt and Kirsten realizes that Cameron isn’t talking about Lily Ross.  Does Cameron feel responsible for the previous stitcher Marta being in a coma?  Is he worried that the same thing might happen to Kirsten?
