A Most Shocking Turn

[peppermintyrose]

So, so, so. I've been thinking about that blurb while I was gone. Thanks to those who think of me and message me, while I am gone. At the moment, I think of you all regularly, because the wili wili flower grows by our clothesline and it's in bloom. I see what I consider the peculiar red flower Eric gave to Sookie and think of my lovely friends.

Lol - it depends how much family annihilators are in CH's mind. A phenomenon that happens in the US roughly about 9 times a week - husband takes out wife and kids. I think perhaps that Arlene would be seen as silly enough to get used. Sarah Newlin certainly didn't go easy on the guy she worked with in STW. I think though that a bombing in Bon Temps would make people think of organised groups. It's possible, but then you have no pictures of dead children to angry up the police officer's blood - bombings don't have the same effect.

I think you're right about the grieving mother's tears - and if she's hugging her only child left, that makes it even more lethal to whoever they pin the culprit on. Even if Arlene had doubts it was Sookie, she's too much of a coward to actually speak up and do the right thing - hence Sookie would have to investigate.

I think you're right - and I think that Kevin and Kenya would probably stand up for her. Unfortunately, I think Andy's still a little on the fence, and Bud Dearborn would be willing to throw her in jail immediately. It depends how much influence Halleigh has on what Andy thinks to where he comes down.

It's quite an interesting exercise to think about who would rally round Sookie. On balance, Andy should damn well be on her side and not on the fence! She found out who killed Lafayette getting him off the hook. She stood in at his wedding to help his wife out. She found the missing child - helping them both out. She brought Bill and the family bible to Miss Caroline fulfilling her dying wish. His indebtedness is there and Halleigh is aware of this and I think she'd push Andy to do right by Sookie and giving him that last little push off the fence.

I was thinking more petrol under the trailer ka-boom than bomb ka-boom. I think my ka-boom theory is weak overall though. CH has done bombing big style (Rhodes) and small style (Merlotte's). I'm not sure there are any clues in the last two short stories but I think I'll run by them again to try to sniff one out. A task I am normally quite hopeless at but perseverance is the key.... plus we still have to wait until May for DEA *drats*

He should be, but then he did try to shoot her over the Sweetie thing. I haven't really been all that sure about Andy since then. He's not exactly someone who's tolerant and forgiving. Plus, he wanted to use her like Lattesta did when that kid went missing. He's in debt for sure, but I don't think Andy likes it much. Halleigh on the other hand, is a doll.

I've got a little post I'm going to post in a second about a possible clue in IHAH, but I'll still have to go through them over and over. The wait is interminable. I must figure it out!
