I suspected the correct kller pretty soon in the series, but thought rusty's son staged the scene. I was wrong on that one. I did guess it was a two-person 'job'

i foun the ending quite disappointing. looking back at the clues, i didn't see any.

Whoooaaa. Your brain works in mysterious ways lol. Your theories totally makes sense.

Great theories

Was that not Ryan 1 and Amanda 2? As in Amanda from Jason 2s reality.

Um maybe change the title to remove the MAJOR SPOILER 😳😳😳 I saw the finale as soon as it came out, but maybe others haven’t

Surely the authorities would have wanted to know what the hell was going on? They would have found the dead bodies all of the same bloke.

At 2:20, the narration identifies the Ryan and Amanda who encounter each other in the World 26 Seattle café as “Ryan[1] and Amanda1.” (“World 26” is the script designation the production team give to the utopian version of Chicago (and Seattle in the republic of “Cascadia”), as explained by the author/showrunner Blake Crouch and executive producer Matt Tolmach, in a Collider Interviews video posted a month ago. Those world-numbers simply identify the consecutive order of appearance that each World first makes in the show.) I gather that Screen Sleuths identifies that Amanda as “1” simply because she’s the first Amanda we encounter. I understand the approach, there, but I think it’s a bad idea, because it’s likely to lead to a lot of confusion. In this case, calling the Ryan we see in that Seattle café, “Ryan1”, makes sense, if he is indeed the Ryan from the World of Jason1. (This assumes that it was the utopian World 26 that Jason2 stranded Ryan1 in, and he, Ryan1, has since made his way out from Chicago to Seattle.) But does it make sense to call the Amanda who was native to the World of Jason2 (AND was his girlfriend!), “Amanda1”??? That means we’d be calling the therapist Amanda that Jason2 starts seeing professionally, “Amanda2” . . . even though •she’s• native to the World of Jason1! I think it makes vastly more sense to identify all individuals native to a particular World by the •same• number (assuming we see more than one version of that individual). That consistency will make it far easier to keep it straight just •who• we’re talking about.

Not seen your video yet, but to me the main suspects are Rusty's kids.

SO wrong weren't you? anyways, points to how good a show this was.

WHAT?! Season 2?!?!?!?! 🤯

I believe the prosecutor is a possibilite, but there is the guy who was elected, he would have political reasons for this. My bet goes to the pair of boys, Carolyn’s son and Rusty's son.🎉

Bravo, sir. I agree fully with Tommy and the medical examiner. I think Raymond is a spicy option. With the book and original film as inspiration, the play on words with the title all along is that the real killer is presumed to be innocent. A child of course would be presumed to be innocent - but the series definitely wants the audience to see the motive of Carolyn’s son. I could see the father covering up for him, but no real motive for the father if they had been divorced for seven years. It also doesn’t explain how well they left the crime scene. But the same could be said for another one of my theories. Back to my point - my two bets would be Raymond or Rusty’s daughter. I don’t think there’s much of a dominant reading for them to be assumed as guilty, so they’re presumed innocent in every sense. I can share more if interested.

Tommy killed her and the dr helped him cover it up because they both have hate for rusty and they both have knowledge of the bunny murder. Only the Dr I heard say F you

It was the wife

5:55 "we have very clearly sterated to assume" Say what???

How is it after 7 hours the audience still has no idea who Carolyn Polhemus is/was as a character and therefore have no idea who else might've had reason to kill her? The book is 500 pages long, so they should've been able to tell the whole story in 8 hours without leaving Half of it out.

Don’t discard Tommy. Somebody ready mentioned that that fire poker left t Tommy is NOT the murder weapon

Def 2 people Or Rusty 2 personalities 😮

Rusty’s son.

I completely agree with your first choice of dual killers.

Great video, keep dropping videos

It was Eugenia. She had an on and off affair with Carolyn, who will be revealed as bi-sexual.

Your number one is the same as mine. Good review

Excellent commentary.

Excellent review, you help me understand and think differently about some things. Thanks

I love that the episode played backwards, with the toy shop employee being questioned and the yakuza lady coming back early for a new pinky because hers was damaged in a “work” accident (when Suzie stepped on it at the junk bot fight) 😮

Season 2 will be Amanda and Ryan trying to find Jason, because of a break in the causality loop. I envision the other travellers not being able to use the ampules and finding each of in the null space( box hallway) The only way to stop the breaking of the multiverse, would be to have the family go back home.....just a fan fiction take on season 2

I think Barbara did it and her son came to bring her some stuff to help clean and stage the crime scene. I also think the difference in the tying up has to do with a left handed person or they know how to tie specific knots. And I think Carolyn’s ex husband took the pictures of her and rusty but convinced her son Rusty killed his mother to get him to lie.

At first I thought it was Barbara because she seems to be too calm , right now I think it’s Tommy. Tommy seems to be jealous of Rusty in many ways. For a split second I thought about the kids being involved, more so Jayden but don’t think it’s them. It could have also been Rusty but I don’t think so either. Rusty definitely has a lot of rage but don’t think he might be the killer. I just hate having to wait a week for an episode. I have been watching the series back to back since it started🥴. I think the killer might be the person we least expect.

Its the kids

So glad I found your channel!

Your insights are wild! I never even get close to thinking of this stuff. Love your brain!

If Maasa was trying to fake his death and purposely didn't get on the plane, do you think he hacked the airplane and caused it to crash? How would that guy have known what shoes he was wearing?

I gotta admit, I wasn't really expecting to like this show 😅 but it totally does feel like Severance-- which I LOVE-- and I can't wait to see more Sunny. The still frames from the opening scene are helpful-- interesting perspective that the guy may have just fallen.

Does anyone else think Raymond was poisoned? Maybe his wife is in on it-- she's very protective of Barbara. What do you guys think, @screensleuths?

I hate that I can't just binge this show-- the suspense is killing me lol. Nice video!

I'm pretty sure the son wouldn't of be able to tie his mum up like that but some nice theories dude💚🇬🇧🌱

but she wasnt missing, she went to seatle.

I think Rusty was there but isn't the killer. The trauma of being drunk and helping cover up her murder - he blocked it out.

"Do The Boxes Stay" There's no mention of the boxes manifesting themselves in the other realities, but it appears that is indeed what is happening. For example the box wasnt built in Jason 1's world, but there it is when Jason 2 comes through. We know that the box remains once it has manifested. It doesnt disappear, otherwise they would be trapped in the reality they enter as the box would be gone. People in each reality will question what it is and even try to move it. As per example when it ends up on the freeway, people would see it as it is in quite an obvious location. They would question it and try to move it out off the freeway. And would that mean that another box would manifest itself in exactly the same location if they were to return? Or now that there is a box in that world, regardles of which geo position its in, would they come through the box at whatever location it is in? From what we're told by the characters, it's only Lavender Fairy that allows them, and them only, to enter Super Position and traverse the multiverse. But the box is doing the same you could say. A box gets constructed out of thin air. I wonder if an explanation for this will come in Season 2, if it comes. I would have thought that it would have made more sense that they could only travel to realities where the box had already been built. So no box, no access to that reality. We've also seen that they don't need to be in super position to enter a reality. Once inside, and door closed, their thoughts/minds are the controllers, as we're informed by the characters. Therefore if someone discovers the box and enters into it, closes the door and reopens it after the 3 minute lock period, they could end up in an untoward reality. What would be cool is if the box doesn't enter a random reality when the curious discoverer of the box isn't in super position but instead goes to the last reality entered by whoever was in the box last. That way they end up in the world where the main character(s) last exited and they have the hope/posibility to try to get in touch with them to find their way back to their reality. That would make a great story for season 2. But having said that, there was an episode where they open the door without being in super position (the drug having worn off) yet they still see a different reality. The writers could explain that as, as Lavender Fairy is already in their system the residual drug is enough to allow them to still have access to control the one and only door that is in front of them. Therefore any random stranger discovering the box and entering in, as they have never injected Lavender Fairy and thus don't have any trace of it in their system, closing the door and opening it would only take them to the last reality. Or more simply, it could mean that they can only exit back to their own reality. There are lots of thoughts and ideas to play around with.

What happened to almost dead Leighton?

Interesting colour choices of the clothing in the cold fusion world. Notice Ryan in the lavender coloured cardigan. Could it be a subtle hint that this Ryan does not belong? Could it also be the whereabouts of his double are unknown in this world which is why Jason2 left him there? This would allow him to also assume his doubles identity similar to Amanda2.

Ooooo. I like the new mystery suspect, because they do seem to give her quite a bit of screen time!! I've been wondering what role she's going to play in everything 🧐

My sister thinks Rusty figured it out that Tommy maybe involved at the end of the episode. My first theory is Rusty did it by mistake and his wife helped him clean up the murder. Or, Tommy broke-in Carolyn’s home and attacked her and Rusty, but Rusty woke up and called his wife to help him clean up and stage the murder scene. Rusty’s wife is too calm but also adamant that Rusty didn’t do it. She also wasn’t shock to hear about Carolyn’s death.

But see there’s a big loophole that I couldn’t stop thinking about when watching episode 9 and seeing all the Jason’s. Shouldn’t at least some be accompanied by Amanda??? I don’t buy the “oh if I join you it won’t help you find your home bs”. Jason 2 was traveling through the multiverse like the flash and returning to Jason 1s world while having visitors!
