There are so many twists and turns in the series that it can be quite difficult to keep track of what’s going on. By the time we get to Episode 3, ‘The Finger Points,’ there are a lot of moving parts. It turns out that Jimmy’s supposed death at the end of Episode 2 was not what it seemed; He was shot, not killed, and this suggests that the attacker was a masked man who escaped out the window.

Bill heads off on his own to track down Lorraine (revealing that he has a gun and can defend himself), while Jimmy tries to convince Bundle that Bill is not what he seems. However, it is Jimmy who ultimately shows his true colors. Yes, he is in cahoots with Lorraine.
At this point, we finally get the answer to the question that has been lingering since the beginning: Who killed Gerry Wade? Well, that would be Lorraine.
