Step,

The best reason she could be the rat is...... She a LAWYER!
What do you think her Moral Compass is like?

She might have been a lawyer for one of the Mallers too!

No, what i'm saying is that Lawyers and Politicians tend to have a skewed Moral Compass. Therefore, they can't be trusted to do anything but lookout for their own best interests or look out for other's interests when it fits there own or they think they know better than you or I (which is normally the case). So, she'd cut a deal for "their own good."

Woo hoo, Kelly has almost caught up with Kalani!

could always be no one that matters. or, maybe another member of the tower who is still there and may become more prominent later?

lets just blame paul so we can close the case?

For the longest time, I would swear by Kelly. She makes the most sense overall to me. But two things changed my mind: I relistened to The War chapter, and the person who first defends the Tower as a weaponless resident is Kelly. She is the first person to throw a couch over the balcony. She's trying to defend their home. I also keyed on Jim Gleason's reasons why Datu survived (thematically) in the stadium as stated on the We're Not Dead podcast. Datu has a never say die attitude and it serves him well. He survives because he has faith that he will. Samantha's fatalist approach to her situation lends to her destruction.

Since the encounter at the Stadium, Datu has adopted the fatalist stance (and become an insufferable annoyance). He's also got severe survivors guilt. When he returned to the Tower, he was crushed and couldn't care less. And he's the only one we never heard at the party.

Can't you just see him talking to the Mallers on the radio, depressed and choking up wanting them to come in and end his misery? He can hear the merriment of the party and it just grinds on his last nerve. Why can't he and Samantha be up there having fun? Then he gets more pissed that they aren't coming in to kill him fast enough so he fires off the first rounds to make them come faster.

So call me/it crazy, but I call Datu trying commit suicide by Maller.

Very well thought out answer. I can see something like that but still feel it is Kelly. Now i'm going to have to relisten to episode and account for where everyone is. However, I was under the impression that the traitor gave out information earlier and not just at that point. I mean the Mallers took a risk going there and had to prepare. Therefore, party-time activity probably does not equal traitor activity. And wasnt this the time that Kelly started drinking?

I'm still in the behavior-change-in-Kelly-equals-traitor camp for now....

But bill had the key for the ammo room, a firearm to take the shot and pushed allot of drinks on everyone.

Also thought that Kelly might have been the lawyer for a maller, but disregarded because they were in jail, she lost, or won(as a prosecutor) and the mallers would hate her.

There was a full day between the return from the arena and the party. The traitor didn't have to do what they did during the party. The could have betrayed the tower in installments. Datu is the only main cast character not heard from during the war. I think the revelations from 18-2 will set things in motion to reveal Datu's betrayal.

Bill had a shotgun. The shots that started the war were from a pistol.
