Not necessarily -- it could end with the complete murder sequence, as it has
been deduced by Coop, et al. It could even pull a complete 180. My pet whacko
theory is that the Good Guys assumed too readily that BOB was possessing
Leland when he killed Laura; in reality, BOB was possessing >Ben< (who was
Laura's true father), and only possessed Leland as of the first season
cliffhanger, when he killed Jacques and his hair turned white. If this were
shown, we'd all have to watch the show >again< in light of this revelation,
and see the tragedy compounded and increased by the investigation turning
out to be mostly useless.

As I said, it's a whacko theory... but could well be satisfying both as a
standalone piece and as a followup/prequel to the show...

It is happening again.      It is happening again.      It is happening again.
