Wasn't the reason Rachel turned up in Dirk's hideout that she was bringing aid and sustenance to escaped murder suspect Tim? So if Trask hadn't had Evan make Tim kill Minerva, Rachel would have been home sleeping safely in her bed...although it's debatable how safe her bed was with Trask in the vicinity. At any rate, it's a stretch to blame Rachel's death on Trask, but it can be done.
When Petofi gave Abraham Howell's hand to Tate for the touch-up, I was suddenly reminded of Jeff Clark bringing the arm to Dr. Lang. Petofi said something about how he might be better advised to take to take the hand to an undertaker, and I think he was right. Why should an artist (especially one like Tate) know how to preserve human remains?
I wondered why she didn't hide or escape when she had the chance using one of the secret passageways or panels.
I imagine that Magda felt there was simply no escape from the wrath of King Johnny once Petofi wouldn't help her, so there was no point in trying. Why Magda thought Petofi might help her, however, is beyond me. And I notice that Quentin was nowhere to be found in this episode, even though he knew Magda was scared to death.
Tim said the hand was essential for his plan of revenge to be carried out. Was Amanda supposed to hold onto Trask by the short hairs while Tim placed the hand on his chest? And where was Evan Hanley supposed to come into this?
