Chapter 22 - "Our Doubts Are Traitors" - Part 1

[clparson]

So, what is up with Burt? Did he get infected from Saul? I think that because he has had more direct contact with Saul's body fluids (I meant blood, you sickos!), it isn't a long shot that Burt contracted whatever turns people into the "zombies". I think Saul has some kind of mutation or gene that prevents him from turning completely.

Scratch some of what I just said. The shooter is Steven, it makes perfect sense. Him and Pippen never saw each other from what I can gather, so Pippen wouldn't have recognised him yet. Also, Steven was totally against going in with him, for 2 reasons - he didn't want Pippen to see him yet and it he would've had to have shot himself to avoid suspicion, if he was with Pippen when he got shot.

Looking back, it was Steven that basically forced Burt to kick Lizzie out. Clearly that was so that the mallers could get their hands on her. For me he's got to be the rat as well as the shooter.

(Hope this hasn't all already been said)

After listening to the episode twice and reading through every page of this thread, here are my thoughts:

1.) I highly, highly doubt we're going to find out whodunnit anytime soon. We still don't know who the Rat is, and it's been how long? Bet you any money this is going to be an ongoing puzzle we won't figure out for awhile. At any rate, it doesn't even matter who did it. The Tower is going to be thrown into turmoil. Trust between people is really going to be tested now! Shit's gonna hit the fan.

2.) Also, no one can say for sure that the Rat/Shooter are the same person or that Pippin did/did not know the identity of the Shooter. It's ambiguous at this point, no matter how hard you argue that it's not! We still have to consider all the scenarios, yo!

3.) If anyone 100% figures everything out and it turns out their theory ends up being correct, I will go buy a hat and eat it. This is just proof of my faith that KC is going to rock our worlds with something insane and out-of-left-field. I'm not even gonna try to speculate. Jesus take the wheel! Lol.

Totally confused. I thought Richard was the one. But, of course, I am usually wrong. Well, if that is the case, I stand by my opinion that if Steven/Richard/Whoever that guy is ends up being the rat, I am going to throw a major BF.

The one who wouldn't go in with Pippen is the same one that got Lizzie kicked out, right? Well, whatever his name is, I think he's the one that shot Pippen.

Nah, I think its just his nerves. He said it himself that he had it once after his wife died. And that it started happening again BEFORE he shot Saul. So Nah, he just has The shakes.

Sweet, free hat! Not really a Falcons fan, but whatevs. There will be no hat-eating anyway, I'm so confident. Should I say...BLINDLY confident in KC? Eh? EH? Get it? XD

Agreed. I think that this also shows that he no longer has super human shooting powers, and is a vulnerable (and slightly less useful) character. But I feel this puts him in danger of becoming the next character to be killed. A tragic hero...

Thanks for clearing that up, I had forgotten his explanation. I wonder what brought them back...
