The Gloating Place - S6-E31

Question: One of the detectives says that attackers don't usually wear masks and gloves. Is that realistic? I would have thought many would disguise themselves.

Question: I still don't understand the situation with Lori's mum. So Freddy killed her, and her dad covered it up with the story of her dying in a car accident. So, I don't understand the scene where he is walking towards her in a threatening manner and Will is seeing it. What did Lori's dad exactly do at the moment Freddy killed his wife?

Question: When the cops went after Chris after his assault on the casino and its staff, why did he just stop in the middle of the intersection instead of pulling off to the side somewhere?

Question: Who is the actress/model in the middle with the pink top at Heaven on Earth, who later became famous?

Question: Booker gets in touch with Copley because he wants to hand over the whole team for research? If one was enough, he would have volunteered alone. If just two, he would have handed in only Andy and himself, so he needed the whole team? Why not negotiate another way of surrendering the team? Why take them to the first ambush? He could have also betrayed the team there, like he did with Andy at Copley's house. Why does Booker search for Copley later if they're in cahoots? Is there no other way of communicating?

Question: After burning the house, where does everyone live for the next year? Gilbert's voiceover says that Arnie is about to turn nineteen, so a year has passed. Amy has just gotten the bakery manager job, and Gilbert and Arnie are waiting for Becky. So what did they do between their mother's death and the "one year later" scene?

Question: Close to the end, she says to load up the bikes and drive 165 days. Really? 165 days? How could they possibly carry enough fuel? And to go where? Water? Food?

That Great a Big Hill of Hope - S1-E13

Question: Why isn't it explained how only the journalist seems to have survived the air crash at the end of Episode 12, but in the following episode all the other members of the team are alive and well?

Question: In the movie, Paxton's boss decides to give him a chance to do an important delivery although the customer requested someone without a criminal record. His boss gives him fake identity documents, and his name is shown as Edgar Allen Poe. He is referred to as the poet and writer from the first half of the nineteenth century. Does anybody know why they would call him Edgar Allen Poe, when the real name was Edgar Allan Poe? A mistake? A deliberate thing? Is there a real reason for this? I am curious.
