Anyone who knows me by now should know that I spend a lot of time relistening to past episodes, looking for clues. (Which helped me pick Kalani for my theory of The Rat ::Fistpump::)

So as I was listening to Who Over Comes part 2, this stuck out to me:

Someone from the Mallers (most likely) had a scrap of paper that read, 8th and Grand. The location of one of Chinwe/CJ's farms. By this point in the game we know that every detail that is overlooked by the characters comes to mean something, and for now 8th and Grand has been overlooked, and it would seem that Chinwe is thinking that they came across it by accident or looking for food.

Which states this fact:

The Mallers Know at least one of Chinwe's farm locations. Could this lead the Mallers to are new smaller group of Living in Undead LA? Is this how we will find Lizzy and possibly Angel and Burt (My dad is really pushing for that one)? Or will it mean something else.

Thoughts?

I think this could be a great opportunity to reintroduce The Colony to the story. We know that Sean went to The Colony, and we suspect that he thought that CJ was dead. Sean would have probably known about the "garden" locations in LA set up by the Other Tower. What if he reported this information to Marcus and the information was recorded? Eventually The Colony would have wanted to send out scouts to find these resources and gather them. What if the "freshly turned" person with the address in his pocket was a Colony scout? Granted, you would assume that Victor would recognize him, but it's possible he didn't know everyone, or that the turning-process made it hard to recognize him.

Sean might have also passed on info about the various safe houses The Other Tower set up, which could make for an interesting encounter as Saul, Victor and CJ get ready to head back to their base.

Wow that would be a twist I would never see coming.

Was the one with the address freshly turned? We already know that at least one of these creatures can speak and read... what if it's teaching the 'new' ones how to do the same? Could be that old Pinstripey McInkalot is up to no good in ways we had yet to consider.

i get the feeling the 8th and grand on the freshly turned zombie was simply a link to the re-introduction of CJ. without this little note Saul and Vic would never of come across her little garden becuase of Saul's description (" high wire fence and difficult to see from the road" etc..) i was hoping for a little more myself with this storyline but its seems to have passed. i find it hard to believe that the southern colony could have found it aswell, becuase of Vic saying the scouts never go too far any more.

So all the communities (WA tower, Mallers, CJ tower) in LA are all about intel. I think that when the mallers take people or kill them they take anything that could lead to another human stronghold. We already know they take id cards. How much more tempting is a small piece of paper with an address or map. The dead guy might have just taken the piece of paper off a captured person from CJ's tower or he killed someone from that tower, taken the paper, and forgot about it.

Kc doesn't seem the type to employ such a blatant plot device. There's got to be something more to it.

I suppose Victor would have said something by now if that freshly turned zombie had been wearing a scuba tank.

but not everything needs to be so complicated. it could be something as simple as a maller scout was looking for places of interest and found the garden and wrote down its location. honestly, something that simple would be kind of refreshing in the midst of all this chaotic scheming and plotting that seems to be going on all the time. you hit on one thread and it's always going deeper. and that's cool, i love the deep rich storyline, but to find something that really does boil down to the simplist possible soloution would be like a fresh breeze cooling the fevered brow of conspiracy.

Would that it were true.

Here is where I was going with this. KC doesn't put in anything without it leading to something. Now I personally take it as a clue that someone had that information [the address].

Almost like Durai was sending someone to get that info... like he knows what will be found... like he knows CJ...

So CJ said that someone has been stealing from her garden. The garden is very well hidden so only someone from CJ's tower would know of its location. The only person we know for sure from CJ's tower lurking around is Skittles. I think the Mallers captured him and he had some vegies or apples on him. Questioned/tortured him to give up the location of the garden. He even might be the "old man" referred to in the end of chapter 24. It would be a good way to get Lizzy, Angel, Burt, and Skittles together.

CJ hasn't been too forthcoming with either information or the truth. It's possible that she's still lying to Saul and Victor.

I thought I might have had a theory on this whole thing until I read all of ya'lls posts ... now im just dumbfounded and have no idea anymore.
