Does anyone know what Christine's mother said this episode?

I don't know if we do preview spoilers but I'll do them just in case, re: the shooter:

The "next on" showed Russell staring at his own conspiratorial web and it seems like he is trying to figure out who the shooter is, so I'm guessing it's not him.

Or,

That could just be a graphical representation of the wicked web he's been trying to weave ever since he tried to deceive Gamby and... well, literally everyone else, I guess. He's so organized, after all--we'd be fools to think that he wouldn't carefully plan out the poking of all the pies he's got his fingers in.

I'm kind of mixed on hating Lee. He's an awful person but from everything we've seen of his family he had a really hosed up childhood.

He was drowning cats from a young age though.

he should have defended himself more when Gamby confronted him about finding the mask and gun in his jeep. Like, said, "that's impossible, someone must have framed me" because from that it'd follow immediately that Abbott showed up uninvited and got dumped.

Or it lines up w his dialogue in the preview in which he’s trying to figure who he can use to destroy Gamby, which undoubtably be Abbott

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Yeah, there’s no way he wouldn’t have protested that accusation more. He could have explained where he was at the time of the shooting. He might even have witnesses who could corroborate.

Perhaps he wasn't the shooter, but coerced someone into doing it. Could explain why he didn't deny it.

Yeah but Lee also not fully admitting it makes that dramatic revelation some real weak poo poo. I think there not being a big reveal at the end would hurt the season on the whole in my opinion.

But Idk. I was close to turning around and thinking Lee was the killer while watching it.

The closing shot of Abbott is something that needs to be considered.

Maybe it was Lee sitting on Crazy Teacher's shoulders beneath that costume, and Gamby just didn't know that it was two people because the shooter was further away than he remembered.

Lee didn't fight the accusation because he knew it put him in a position of power over Gamby.

Lee needs a redemption next episode. He finds the real shooter.

Plus Gamby was pointing a loving gun at Lee right from the start of the confrontation. Knowing Lee’s character, it probably pissed him off in a way that made him not want to bargain or plead with Gamby.

That’s what I’m going with until next episode at least

I figured at first it was his ego keeping him from putting too much effort in denying it and by the time Gamby did his checkmate Lee was so hurt and broken he no longer cared.

I've thought for a few episodes now that it was Christine. I'm not sure why, but I think so. But the mask and gun and poo poo being in her car made me sure of it.

I popped on the spring break episode to check CC of Snodgrass's reading, and this was the dialogue she got through before they stopped her:

"Maerwyn carried the magic stone into battle. It was their good luck charm and they would need all the luck that the fairy worm could provide. Besting this mighty creature would not be easy. Besting mighty creatures never is. The mightiest creatures of love and life, they were both born of twin moons and therefore understood the language of the stars, that formed the-"

I know they talked about the book in season 1 a bit when she gave it to Gamby to read, but all I remember is her mentioning he'd probably like the Wizard, Bluffin (and in the spring break episode Gamby mentions that character is 'hilarious')

But seriously, if they somehow tied in that awful prose to the ending of this show I'll never stop :aaaaa:

Uhm... if you're reading this before watching the finale, then you'll deserve it when I snape your dumbledore.



I picked Ms. Abbot early on, though I must admit that I had Lee as my back-up in case Abbot wasn't the shooter. The description of the hair did it for me, even though it seemed the mask could include some longish black hair, and she was clearly nuts from the beginning. I'm surprised her character wasn't named Ms. Fatal Attraction. But, the whole sequence that started with her at his house in a wedding dress... the only thing that didn't surprise me from that moment forward was the tiger eating the trainer. I mean, you knew that was happening from the moment he appeared on screen.

Great show. Went out on a high note.
