Her transformation into a team player began when she was hunting for the thief. She made good points and even though she was still bitchy, she was doing the right thing.

Also, remember the last interaction she appeared to have with Tommy. She was trying to throw him out of the Tower. That's the last time we heard them talk to each other. It's always that thing you hear people say when talking about loved ones who die suddenly: "I wish I hadn't said this to them before they died", or "I was so angry with them and never told them how I felt" etc etc.

Just throwing that out there.

Also in the relisten that I caught that I haven't seen mentioned: Bill very soundly accuses Michael et al for losing all the ammo. Chapter 12-2 ~15 minute mark. It doesn't sound like he was putting on an act...he sounded legitimately pissed off that things got screwed up that badly.

So here's an interesting question: What if Bill actually didn't steal anything? What if he was framed for being the thief to throw everyone off the Rat's tracks?
Very good point. Still I think Bill's "I'm sorry." was his apology for hoarding the food & supplies. Plus it would have to be a very, very crafty person that could take the spare key to unlock Datu's locks, turn on the elevator, and move the supplies into Bill's apartment without Bill noticing. You could revise that already pretty cool theory of yours by saying that someone was in league with Bill.

As for Kelly's transformation, I agree that she was starting to change after Michael tossed her out in to the rain. She seemed to want to do the right thing from that point on, even if it meant kicking Tommy out. But in the beginning she was such a sneaky broad that I still believe she could have contacted the Mallers while pretending to support Michaels rules. The death of Tommy may have been the bitch slap she needed to realize "Hey, contacting the Mallers was fucked up. I really should support Michael rather than just pretend to." I dunno. I think it's the fact that she's a lawyer that keeps nagging at my mind. I think she may have had relationships some folks at Eastern Bay. I wanted to say that she may have even been visiting a client at the time of the outbreak, but with Tommy being under her watch that was unlikely. Still, just think for this on a second, What if Durai sent Kelly to the Tower as a mole but under Michaels broken wing she cast off her Maller side and became a 100% Tower devoted survivor?
