Look I doubt that there was a thief (Bill) a Rat (?) and Shooter (?)! I am going with the Rat and the shooter being the same damn person. And the only charecter that makes sense is the new guy that was just added to the story Steve. Steve wanted to refuse guard duty (Because Pip' would recognize him and blow his cover).
THe only recourse that the Rat (Steve!) had is inaction or take out the threat.
Inaction: Steve would eventually run into Pippin either when it came to light that Pippin poses no threat or the off chance that people stopped buying his BS excuses to get out of guard duty and thus being exposed to Pip'.
Take Out the Threat: The only option that still allows the Rat to have the initiative. If taking out Pip works then he is back in buisness, if it doesn't work then he still has the ability to leave on his own terms either way this is the only way that lets Steve carry out his original mission, Gathering intelegence and sowing discord (such as stirring the pot and getting Lizzy booted).
I still haven't noticed the "sniff" at the end of the episode but if there is one I'm thinking that maybe Steve was spritzing some cologne into the room so frame Vic and get them off of his back.
And I think the shooting of the CB Radio idea is excessive... Honestly I think that Hope was purosfully wounded and left to smell "Victor" and let Steve get away with it
Okay I read the first three pages of this, but twenty is too much. I'm totally freaking out right now. When Hope was crying out for help, it was relistening to the rape fiasco, but nearly as bad of course. And I don't think that this clears Pippin's name, even though I still think he's good. Or was good. It's not Angel, why would he leave the room and then come back to shoot? That's just super unefficient. And I don't know what breaking into the armoury was for. From what I thought I understood, they were using a silenced pistil, and a silenced pistol was missing from Burt's and Saul's bag when Saul was looking for it. I just thought the shooter stole it from there. I also don't think it's the rat that is the shooter, because they don't seem to have the gusto to do that. They have been hiding and giving away secrets like a little girl, not "manning" up and actually saboging the tower or anything like that. I just have a hard team believing they went from giving intel to shooting people. But I still want more info on the Lizzie situation!
All-in-all, I loved it. This chapter may end up being one of my favourites.
If the Rat isn't the shooter then what is the motivation for the SHooter???
Creme extended undercover operations while feeding info to you intel consumers (the Mallers) falls into the "Manning-up" area of jobs. The Rat never shot anyone because that wasnt his job. In reality shooting someone would jeapordize your job! When his job was threatened (with the introduction of Pippin) The Rat needed to eliminate the threat and then go back to his original job.Quote:

But then they see Hope there. They didn't know that there would be two people on guard and they decide she has to die too, as to not be caught. Because the shooter did hesitate to shoot Hope, if that's even what they did. The cliffhanger is that we don't know if she's shot, so who knows.Quote:

A "you wouldn't do what had to be done so I DID" situation. Could be Steven - although i doubt it. That just seems too neat.
