[QUOTE=Saltire] You’re right. I forgot all about that, but I’ll bet the painting, when we see it, will have a sign in it saying, “Odessa High–Odessa, TX”. Or at least show the cheerleader uniform well enough for them to figure the rest out. [/QUOTE] My bet is the missing panel is of the train wreck where Chearbleeder saved the fireman… there will be enough detail in that to match it to the newstory and town… of course, that means they’ll find the poser first, and after stabbing her, they will realize she isnt the one… ---

Another thought on EDWMNBSE and Claire’s parents… no reason at all not to suspect that he used mindwipe to clear Claire’s memory, and/or possibly implant false memories into momster… ---

Do yourself a favor and DON’T read the cast list on IMDb. It reveals the actor playing Syler. Strange, since they go out of their way to call Claire’s dad “Horned Rimmed Glasses” on the same cast list. The biggest mystery to me so far is how a $30k/yr construction worker and his wife that was so broke she had to borrow $30k from Linderman that have a young child and live in a tiny house can still afford a fully restored 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood convertible. ---

[/QUOTE] ikiN left the car for Niki. She found it when she went back to the house and found that the two gangster guys were cleaned up from her garage. Remember when she first got in the car she looked in the glove compartment and was confused when she found the registration card in her name. ---

A lot will be explained in the episode “Six Months Ago” :eek: ---

The cadillac was a gift from Ikin to Niki (or whatever you call the mirror girl) I’m thinking the alter-ego dipped into the till a bit. Niki used to drive a ratty gremliny type smoke bomb. ---

I meant to add: the IMDb is notoriously unreliable when it comes to future casting. I haven’t been looking for spoilers, but I heard who’s listed on there and I’ve seen no confirmation that it’s true.
