Right. Now this leads me to the following conclusion : Leland offed
her. Why? Well, assume that the killer was going to be revealed and
that only key scenes needed to be changed in the case that the show
was picked up for another season. OK - then my feeling was that this
episode was supposed to eliminate each of the major suspects one at
a time to make you go - it wasn't him??!!?? So for example, Jacoby
bites it early on (sure looked like he was supposed to be dead to me, 
until the - "so doc how's jacoby" bit - no mention of how he got there or who
found him or anything like that - just poof - he's alive...) then
later Leo gets snuffed by Hank (I'm even more convinced that Leo was
to die in the original storyline)- so the top two suspects are gone.
Who's left? Leland - we know he kills Jaque (I believe that was always
in the story) and he would seem the only major character that wasn't
killed or even in danger of being killed - so - he did it.... now
if only I could figure out why he shot Cooper..... (then again I suppose it
could be a plot twist unrelated to the story so far.....)
