She swears she didn’t do it… and we’re inclined to believe her. But Kristen’s been increasingly erractic and we can’t count her out. Even if she didn’t intend to kill, maybe she moved the orchid hoping to buy time, then the deaths snowballed faster than she’d thought. Playing dumb would be her only hope of survival at that point.
Sure, he claims he had nothing to do with it, but we all know he can’t be trusted. Plus, in prison or not, Orpheus a reach outside of the prison. That was made clear last time he was locked up and managed to dig up enough dirt on the governor to get a pardon. Don’t count him out.
Is it a coincidence she just started popping up again after the ladies were dead? Coincidence doesn’t exist in Salem. She’s always had it out for Kate for “stealing” Victor. Surely, she heard about the ladies’ first brush with orchid death and thought, “How can I use that to take Kate down?” Prison or not, Vivian is a woman of means. And vengeance.
Who knows what all she was up to sneaking around the DiMera mansion before she was committed? What if she really was seeing Charlie and he was sent by the Devil to urge her to take out Susan and the three ladies?! Or maybe she was just out of her mind and swiped it. Ava’s not in a good place.
We know she’s on her way back to Salem… and successfully revived Bo. Whoever swiped the orchid probably knows their way around the DiMera mansion and its secrets. She just messed with John and Steve, and we can’t help but shake the feeling she’s involved with the orchid somehow. But why? That could be a fun mystery to figure out.
Of course he’s on the list. Yes, he’s dead, and he had a thing for Kate and Marlena, but this is The Phoenix. Rolf may have distilled his “essence,” but it was put on a microchip. In other words, he went digital. And that can be copied. Plus, he already wanted to kill Kate after she betrayed him last time — he’s certainly not above revenge on former flames!
He’s apparently behind all this afterlife nonsense. But is he just capitalizing on an opportunity, or did he decided to stop playing cute with a possession-frenzy and just off Marlena and her friends? Pop down to Earth for a bit, grab a body, swipe the orchid and hand some contracts to Nick.
If anyone’s escaped death as much as Stefano, it would be his nephew son. The Devil claimed he was dead and working for him, but is Satan a believable narrator? No. And if anyone’s vicious enough to kill Kate, Kayla and Marlena and devastate their beaus in one fell swoop, it’s the Salem Slasher.
John’s dad always wanted him to be a part of his assassin business. And now that Marlena’s dead, John’s certainly taken a murderous leap! If Yo Ling had faked his death, he could’ve just been waiting for the opportunity to take everything from his son and push him to his darker side. Kayla and Kate just got caught in the crossfire.
Remember Dr. Rolf mentioning some clones just sitting around? What if one of those Marlena doubles woke up, decided she wanted the life she was copied from and bumped off the competition? Stealing the orchid would take out Kate and Kayla along with Marlena, sure, but casualties happen. Bizarre? Welcome to Salem.
When was the last time we actually saw the DiMera’s live-in butler? Anyone? Poor guy’s probably tired of being treated like he’s invisible. He could’ve been there, tidying up the secret room, when he spotted a lovely orchid and thought, “Harold deserves something nice for once.” That orchid could be sitting in his room under the stairs (or wherever he lives in the mansion), brightening things up as we speak!
