I suppose you are suggesting that BOB, while in Ben, not only made Ben
forget that he killed Laura, but that he also fucked with Ben and
Catherine's memories of that evening so that they each (independently, to
our eyes) believe they were with each other that night.  And this based
solely on Sarah Palmer's apparent unwillingness to exhibit any
remembrance of Leland's actions, which could be for several reasons.
Whoa!  You Ben-did-it's die hard!  This pathetic theory is tenuous, at best.

Well, it sure as hell would be hard to explain any other way.  But it may
not be a foregone conclusion.  I'd bet it was Leland's blood, though I
don't have a favorite charity.  'Cept me, maybe.

She may, or may not, remember.  But to stretch that to the conclusion
that BOB messed with Catherine's and Ben's minds????

Not so fast!  *WE* don't even know when Maddy died.  She may have been
alive in that golf bag, since her hand still looked flesh colored, rather
than pale.  I really don't think anyone's going to suspect Leland in the
first place, so this probably won't lead anywhere.

Could be billions of possible reasons here.  So what?  The same could be
asked of the Ben-did-it's.  Why would Ben/BOB kill Teresa Banks, et. al.,
all of a sudden?  Yawn...
