How has no one suggested this person as the shooter?


To me, my top suspect is Mrs. Abbot. She is the psycho jealous ex. She obviously hates Ms. Snodgrass and everything worked out with Snodgrass and Gamby to be together now. She's been obsessed with Gamby for a while and there is no chance of getting back together. He used her and tossed her like it was nothing, she didn't want him to skate with that and live his perfect happy life without her.

You would think that she would just kill Snodgrass instead and that would make more sense, but a psycho is a psycho and jealousy is poison.

I did reply that I thought it was her, but apparently I did not type my response correctly, at least for one IMDb user.

Wait a minute... who am I here?

Scroll down through all the "whodunnit" threads. You'll see Abbott mentioned in most of them. ▶️QUESTION AUTHORITY (go ahead, ask me anything)◀️

Almost everyone considered her a suspect including me in the posts I've seen.

I actually didn't think of Mrs Abbott, though her motives would be pretty obvious. I think they want us to think the shooter is Brown (more likely her husband/sons) or Russell.

My prediction is Bill Hayden. He fits the body type of the shooter and the last time we see him he's staring daggers at Gamby. His motive could have to do with Snodgrass or something we don't know about yet.

I was also thinking that the car fires and shooting could be two separate events. Maybe Brown did the car fires and someone else was the shooter?

Never thought I'd be speculating a whodunnit for this show like it's a crime drama...

Enough of body types already. The shooter was wearing a costume.
His motive could have to do with Snodgrass or something we don't know about yet.
Then why not shoot Snodgrass? And why also blow up Russell's car? Why blame Gamby when he was the one that rejected Snodgrass? There are too many suspects with a better reason to harm Gamby than someone who's jealous.
Maybe Brown did the car fires and someone else was the shooter?
I could buy that, if done right. But that creates the question of why the shooter would follow through when attention is now turned to that location due to the explosion. If someone was intending to shoot Gamby, a car explosion occurred seconds before the crime, why not wait until later now that a potential roadblock has interrupted your plans? To me, the scene plays out as if it were intending to lure Gamby to the scene, making the arson and the shooter the same person (though that doesn't mean that only one person was behind the crimes).

Mrs. Abbot has enough to blackmail Gamby after discovering him with Snodgrass's file. Why would she choose to shoot him for revenge?

Maybe the shooter is some random fan or football player from the rival school who is crazy and Gamby is just the first person he ran into. The cars may have been set fire by Brown but I don't see her as a shooter or hiring someone. I still think it could just be a dream, it was going too perfect for both of them, and the whole sequence was shot more like a dream plus on next seasons cast I don't see any doctors or hospital staff listed which you would think would play a pretty big role for a gun shot wound plot.

I still say it's the guy in the ponytail that Brown brought in to take notes on everyone. Her sort of henchman.

reply

Why would Abbott, the history teacher and/or Ray go after Lee's car as well as Gamby's? Each of them is angry with just Gamby.

If you're looking for a wildcard shooter, how about Lee's neighbor? He has reason to go after both Lee Russell and Gamby.

reply

Look, its a cliff hanger. There are a few possible shooters were meant to consider.

Abbot, Lee, Belinda Brown, her oldest son, Lee's mother-in-law, Lee's Neighbor, Belinda Brown's husband, the stable owner who Gamby owed money to, etc.

Gamby treated a lot of people like shyte.

reply

That's who I'm thinking now. He looked like a hitman

Yep

Thought of her first but why would she burn Russell's car?
