JD will die relatively soon, just as everyone thinks the mystery is over. I have a feeling JD and Shane die in the same episode, maybe the same scene. The Sheriff will probably die protecting Abby, ditto Shea for Madison. I think anything more than five survivors would make it feel like too much of a "happy ending". Because, really, besides Wellington, is anyone really going to miss any of those killed so far? It's all been the misfits, creeps, and non-entities.

I wish it was her, and she was doing it because the last bride said her cake was dry or forgot to tip her. something random and stupid > dramatic secrets from the past x on wtf was with that flashback

Another theory I have is that this is all a bunch of random murders by one person used to cover up a true motive - not of insanity, but of greed. It all centers around the family members and killing everyone off from the family so that only one person stands to inherit daddy Wellington's money. I would put my money on Katherine Wellington in this case because Shea keeps telling Trish to marry Henry, and that would add another possible heir (or division of money) as opposed to removing one. This theory doesn't explain the west coast murders or why the show would concentrate on so many flashbacks if this is a fake copycat killer, so I don't have much faith in this one.

I think this idea would be way cooler than having Henry be the killer, though!

I seriously cannot believe that the "The Gardener is Booth with a face transplant" conversations have even come up. Just because people wear the same type of glasses doesn't make them related. My husband and I are constantly being asked if we are brother and sister because we wear the same "Booth" type glasses....

One way is to get him to scuba down there for a reason, like to check the prop then just whack him on the head & tie him to the motor. Anyone could do that. I don't think Chloe & Cal survive. Their murder will be at the same time since they are a couple & it will probably seem like a joke at the time. Abby & Jimmy will be the only ones to survive. That is if Abby isn't the killer.

I doubt that's something they would worry about. If you want to rule out Maggie, how about the fact that she's said about 5 lines the whole show and is completely meaningless to the plot?

Either it was just badly written, or else Jimmy knew the killer and is connected in some way. Of course, I'm leaning on it just being badly written... That's my inclination. I thought it was suspicious, especially coupled with the discussion that Abby's mom said Jimmy reminded her of someone she dated once (presumably Wakefield) - a lot of heightened clues for Jimmy now. Much like JD in the past. But everyone I know who saw it reasoned it was a heroic moment, as such: - Jimmy was driving and stopped because he saw something weird. - Jimmy got out, noticed Abby and tried to distract the killer. - The killer was coming towards Jimmy with a dangerous weapon so he fled (as would any 17 or 18 year old boy), believing he gave Abby sufficient time to make a run for it. - And possibly we're supposed to believe he went searching for Abby afterwards to make sure she was okay. As for them seeing the killer, maybe the killer was wearing a mask? Or maybe there is no mystery about it - Wakefield did it. And the new murderer is somehow linked.

BOOTH IS DEAD! here on tv.com thye have interviews with the dead booth is one of them (He even gets the soft sad music in his death scene) I'll believe it when I see the body. During Survivor Pearl Islands both Burton and Lil had exit interviews after they were originally voted out even though both of them were to return to the game via the Outcast twist.
Fitfcuk	I have believed Henry is the killer since epi 1	#2534	[-]
Posts: 23 (06/01/09 4:45 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I remember when they introduced his character on the boat in epi 1. He kept on giving the biggest shit eating grins over and over. We were hit upside the head with what a nice and happy guy he was, and I immediately suspected him because of it. It really was over the top, and everything since then with his edit has convinced me further. For several weeks I've felt that J.D. will save the day and kill Henry in the last episode. For the rest of the series everyone will still think that J.D. is the killer. Especially after Shane gets killed in jail when J.D. is also there, and J.D. is released from prison by the killer. Shane is toast very soon I believe. I really see Henry, Trish, Abby, Jimmy, Sheriff, and J.D. all around for the finale. A few more people will also still be around. Henry might seem to kill Jimmy and incapacitate him before J.D. kills his brother. Then it will be revealed Jimmy is still alive. Jimmy and Abby are the true love story here. They've built up the Henry and J.D. drama too much for it not to pay off in the end. Henry dies, J.D. saves I can also see Henry hurting Jimmy and we think he's dead only to be revealed later that he's still alive. It will be a happy ever after with Abby and Jimmy. Henry and Trish.... not so much. Cal and Chloe MUST survive (jury's out for me on them right now)... Oh, I'd LOVE for CBS to shock the hell out of me. Their editing seems very transparent.

Posts: 3456 (06/01/09 4:55 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Believable/plausible ideas: -Henry is the killer. -Jimmy was in on the original killings, and is the actual killer this time. -Maggie, Beth, Katherine, or anybody else with no alibi for any of the murders is the killer (some people have fuzzy alibis like Danny, I believe). Add - The killer is someone that we haven't met yet. For instance, it was never established that John Wakefield killed the 3 victims and hung them up in the Tree of Woe. It could have been someone else who thought that Abby was a witness when he hacked Cullen with the head space.

So many horror things like this just cut away and show the survivors later because authentic shock and screaming might be hard for the actors to pull off. I thought this was pretty well done.

They could have phrased it that way to mean that when the person is revealed as the killer they will have such a personality change that you will be asking "who is this person really?"
