I think the change came about because Leland's actions AS LELAND were getting more Bob-like. Apparently his killing of Jacques was his own act, not that of BOB. Also, while his attack on Jacoby has been labeled an act of BOB by the producers, his sneaking out to follow Maddy earlier in that episode seems to have been Leland acting on his own. Before BOB could assert control over Leland only for moments. Now Leland himself is becoming more BOB-like -- one of Robert's children. Now that he has become a creature of BOB, able to commit violent acts free from guilt or shame (like killing Jacques), he is marked by the appearance of BOB. Sound good?
