In our day-after nitpicking, I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the many
dreams floating about town - including young Ms. Hayward's poem, and
particularly Maddy's vision of the (blood?)-stained carpet.  Would the 
theory-makers care to speculate on events in the Palmers' livingroom?  
More suggestions of an abusive childhood for LP, perhaps?

The two characters who really captured my attention this time out were Leland
and Donna.  Leland's hair...well, I'm sure you understand.  And I loved Donna's
devil woman routine, but I can't agree with the several posters who think that
Laura's spirit has possessed her.  Sure, she's "becoming" Laura, but I think
it's intentional.  Think of the expression on her face when she put on the
sunglasses - it all kinds of reminds me of the transfer of command in the movie
"Heathers".  (Yes, I know, totally different, it's just an analogy. 
Overshadowed friend greedily trying on the limelight of sin, etc.)  

BTW, I've stubbornly pegged Donna as the killer since the beginning, for
ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD REASON, I admit it.  Does anyone who's analyzed every
episode five times know a good reason why she DIDN'T do it?  I'm genuinely
curious.
