I have to agree with you here. This seems like perfect Season 2 finale fuel. I think the suspense will keep mounting up and the finale will be a life and death situation where the rat is revealed, and it's unclear if they can be trusted.

At this point I still think the possibility of Riley being the assassin is slim (at least in my opinion). I can find a motive as to why she would do it, and as kafu288 said it seemed to be a calculated act. Not to mention that whoever the assassin was also shot the radio, unless that was an attempt to throw off who had actually assassinated Pippin in the first place.
Also Riley was an original of the tower, as bob had mentioned before, and associating herself with the Mallers would put the tower in jeopardy, something that she wouldn't want to happen since it would compromise her safety as well the others in the Tower (and if we are going the Riley-Is-A-Lesbian angle, then Lizzie's safety as well).
Motive wise, I can't see Riley deliberately killing Pippin and shooting the radio. I also have a hard time believing that it was a drunkin' killing either since it would have taken Riley more than the three shots the assassin used to take out Pippin and the radio.
thats a good point the radio is a somewhat small target for an intoxicated person to hit, an englishman however...?. thers just so many different angles to sift through its quite maddening
A person is easier to hit than a radio, but three shots for both? UNLESS Riley wasn't intoxicated at all and was only pretending to be (although I seriously doubt that she was faking it, since she was really broken up about Lizzie being kicked out).
But yeah there are plenty of different angles 70DDISDEAD, but we'll have to wait until the next episode. =D
Mmmmm, that's what I fear.
Although admittedly that would be a pretty awesome finale.
On another point, the fact that Riley was there from the start doesn't mean she can't be the rat. We don't know how the rat came to be, so it's possible that she was bribed or blackmailed upon some contact with the mallers long after the first episode.

a point arthur just brouht up over on the folllow the silencer thread id like to expand a bit on. would riley have still been drunk? michael made a point to state that the incident happened around noon. for one, we rarely get specific times told to us. for two, that would mean the entire night and morning has passed since her episode one the roof..so unless she started again early........
