- Tracy’s lack of friends, the move, fear of discussing pregnancy and choice of Somerset as confidant are questioned, though the diner scene is defended as convincing.
- The logistics of packaging, courier payment, blood and timing are explored without a settled explanation.
- Whether the dog is killed, how the right size box is chosen and how much blood comes from the head are questioned.
- An accomplice is proposed; the killer’s bloody taxi ride and uncontrolled behavior raise questions about earlier detection.
- The head is imagined face-up; Somerset’s apparently restrained response is questioned.
- Somerset’s suspicion during the car ride and established cynicism are offered to explain his reaction.
- The panel doubts Mills ever looks inside the box after being restrained.
