William, It Was Really Nothing
A collection of thoughts about Friday's episode of Haven, "William." Speculation for the future abounds. (Like Tigger.)

I never really trusted William (ask lone_pyramid), mostly because I was supposed to trust him. So even though he said a lot without actually saying anything - he's from Haven, all right - I have come up with a theory, certain to be Jossed in the next episode.
William is Audrey's crazy stalker ex-boyfriend. He was in love with one of Audrey's previous personalities hundreds of years ago - maybe the first one, maybe not - but she was not in love with him, he just thought she was (in the style of TV stalkers.) If it was the first personality, maybe that's why she agreed to go into the Barn in the first place - not just to save Haven, but to get away from William. But he somehow followed her into the Barn. In the past, Agent Howard was able to keep William away from Audrey in the Barn, but now that he's dead or healing or whatever, William was able to get to Audrey and make it possible to get out of the Barn and back into the real world.
Not sure if his Trouble is actually a Trouble or some weird manipulation of whatever causes the Troubles and his own excessive time in the Barn.
I really hope the solution involves the fact that James is still in the Barn, and is more likely to side with his father than his mother's crazy ex. Hmmm, that may or may not evolve into a fic.
Really curious to see where they're actually going with this.
The solution to the cliffhanger - and the whole "Audrey has to kill Nathan" thing - was fairly anticlimactic. They didn't even get to celebrate, just had to move on to the next crisis. Welcome to Haven. But they got to make googley eyes at each other a couple times, so that was nice. Thinking about it, this episode must have taken place the same day as the previous episode - when would they have slept? This show and its internal timelines.
Loved the "Code red! There's a toxic, um, ..." "Gas leak!"
I don't have as many thinky thoughts about this episode as the others. Not sure why that is.
p.s. On the other hand, if Audrey loved William once, maybe killing HIM will end the Troubles for good.
