Wait a minute!!!  Last time I subtracted 50,882 from 51,201 I got 319,
and the last time I subtracted 50,002 from 51,210 I got 1199.  I think
someone gained an order of magnitude, there!

As for the rest of the theory, I like it.  Makes some sense with the
empty hallways we saw at the end of the last episode.

I can't wait for June 10!

Bye, bye!
