To yarri and all readers: I guess those are strong points for the pregnant theory. But the question remains the same, Who do you think the second prisoner is? I just don't buy, that she was showing that early. She's pregnant during the gate scene, some time before (the timeline has nothing on when lizzy visited the doctor) Lizzy had a check up with the doctor. During that visit it sound pretty early in her pregnancy. The doctor determined sex and did an ultrasound, he offered no advice on how to give birth; indicating a non-imitate birth. You know you got to go over things like breathing ect. a month before birth.


If I understand you guys correctly, you think in Chapter 24 lizzy looked pregnant? You're telling me on July 30th, no one who knew lizzy, could tell she was pregnant; three days later scratch (a person who has only seen her twice "at the gas station, and throwing things from the roof") can tell Lizzy is pregnant. and in Dec she is still pregnant. Most people don't show in the first 3 months, usually as the first trimester is ending do you see a baby bump. Which would put conception at late June, and a birth of late March. Lizzy is fit and very lean, it is also possible with strong ab muscles she might not show into the second trimester. All plausible.


But I really think it's more realistic and practical to think, that the Mallers played the same trick Michael did on them. Each side brought a scouting party with a mock prisoner, and retained all their bargaining chips. Potentially even eliminating The Towers finest. The mallers have very little to lose; Micheal is forced to risk alot. Its a prisoners delimea, in the academic sense (Polly sci and Psych Majors should know).


So I open this up to everyone. Who do you think is the second prisoner?
