Tom was on a respiratory system.  If anything affected his breathing, the bells would go off (say if Georgia wasn't there and the thing in his nose slipped out accidently).  I re watched the scene and nothing was going off indicating that there was an issue. 

It must be difficult to prove suffocation by pillow especially if the person who is being suffocated is not fighting back due to their vegetative state. Pretty much the evidence has to be circumstantial enough that they would have brought Georgia in for questioning instead of straight out arresting her.  (I watch too much crime documentaries) 

Like already pointed out, he wasn't on a respirator and I think (from TV shows, so can't confirm) that suffocation leaves a particular "mark" in the eyes. As also pointed out, even though hospice does not usually require an autopsy, if someone raised a question about the death, and mentioned that Georgia might have been involved in other deaths, an investigation would be launched. 

What is odd is that she was arrested as if they already had proof of her guilt. Yes, she would be taken for interrogation, but not necessarily arrested during her wedding, being the "mayoress" and all. But I guess this is dramatic license, I can suspend disbelief. 

Nerd thing: the police entered the hall to arrest Georgia Miller, but she was, at that point, Georgia Randolph. Assuming they had a warrant - which they should - and the name was Georgia Miller, would the arrest be invalidated? Nitpick. I have no idea of how warrants are written, if every name ever used is assumed to be accepted, but could that be used as a plot twist?

I thought this season was way too dark with all the mental illness stuff, and with Austin turning into a child shooter. I do like that they include mental illness in a way that is openly discussed, I just thought it was a lot at once. Love that they have the deaf character and that everyone signs when the character is around. I wish they hadn't made Georgia into a proto-psychopath. She was traumatized by her young years, she was a con-artist and had, in her head, reasons to kill Kenny. She never trusted anyone, so I can see the pathology. But killing Tom was gratuitous. I am afraid they just assassinated the character. How to spin anything positive from that?

It was odd that Tom was on "hospice care" and yet we never saw a hospice worker at the house

Hospice workers don't necessarily stay the whole time at the house. In the US, it depends on what health insurance corporations want to cover. You know, terminal people don't really need compassion, let alone being well taken care of

I assume this films in Canada as half the actors have Canadian accents.

They shoot in Toronto, or around Toronto and I know that the actor playing Max is Canadian, the one playing Marcus is Australian, I think. "Sophie" is at least half Venezuelan. Don't know about the others.
