Kinda silly, I guess, to speculate now, with the season finale only
three hours away, but here goes:

I happen to agree with the hypothesis (sorry, I forgot who posted it)
that Leland responded to the Flesh World ad and was surprised to find
that the girl on the other end was his daughter.  Assuming this is
correct, and assuming that Leland initially believed his daughter was
as pure and innocent as she wanted people to believe, AND assuming
that the discovery that Laura was prostituting herself sent Leland
into a murderous rage, then I think it's plausible that, when he sees
Maddie stalking out of the house, he jumps to the conclusion that she
has the same habits, and the old anger rises up in him again.  So he
follows her.  (And if it *is* Leland watching her, how do you think
he'll react to her Laura outfit?)

What do you think?  2 hours, 45 minutes and counting...
