Was just reading a tumblr post about a theory that Lila killed herself, and it got me to thinking about some logistics.

I doubt Lila killed herself, she didn’t even want to get an abortion, so it would seem OOC if she killed her whole self, including the unborn baby. But somehow, Lila ended up in that water tower. And Rudy saying “wet” is meant to lead us to connecting Rebecca with the water tower. But realistically, would Rebecca be strong enough to haul a body up a ladder, open the door on top, and dump her in? Even if she DID somehow manage to haul Lila up there, would there really be enough splashback coming out of that little hole in the top of the tank to get Rebecca sufficiently “wet” that Rudy would use that word in relation to her?

So, now I’m thinking that perhaps Lila was already in the tank when Rebecca got there, if she and Lila had arranged to meet on the rooftop. Maybe the door on the tank was open, or Lila’s body banged on the side and made a sound, or something like that, just something that made Rebecca curious enough to climb the ladder and look in. Then, say if she reached in, maybe even jumped in, to try and get Lila out, but eventually gave up when it was clear that Lila was dead. Something like that would definitely get Rebecca “wet” enough that someone would use that word to describe her.

Sam would have been strong enough to haul Lila up the ladder.

And I think Annalise could have been too, because she’s pretty built, and when she’s determined to get a thing done, she’ll get the thing done. It’d even be a nice little matchy matchy thing to go with how she told Wes to use fire to destroy evidence, if she herself had used water.

Also, I’ve seen some people on tumblr starting to freak out thinking that Connor might end up dead, based on the promo where it looks like Annalise, Wes, Michaela and Laurel open a door to find what’s likely a dead person judging by their expressions. I doubt they’d kill Connor because he’s SUCH a fan fave, so I’m gonna choose to believe that either the promo is edited to make it look like he’s not there even though he really is, or he’s off somewhere with Oliver at that point in time.

So now I’m thinking about who else they could find dead (if that really is what’s happening), and I think I’m gonna vote for Rebecca. Going back to the potential scenario I suggested earlier in the thread, let’s say perhaps she was running late to the meeting with Lila that night, (maybe Lila had called her all, “Mr Darcy is on his way here to meet with me, can you get here ASAP because I’m kinda freaked out”), and so she blames herself because if only she’d been on time, maybe Lila wouldn’t have died, so maybe as a result of that guilt, Rebecca kills herself?
