I know! All it would've taken was for them to film another episode inbetween the wedding and the aftermath.

It should've been;

MONDAY - They have their wedding and it ends with Zoe storming in with Tracey as her hostage.

TUESDAY - Tracey's revealed as the accomplice and her motive's explained through flashbacks leading up to Zoe's escape and have that episode end with the explosion.

WEDNESDAY - The aftermath of the explosion and it could end with three deaths (permanant characters).

THURSDAY - That could just be about everyone being in shock about what happened and most of the residents in hospital with injuries etc.

FRIDAY - That could've ended with Lara informing the surviving officers at the station that Zoe and Tracey's bodies have been recovered and they can show their hurt about being betrayed like that and have it end with Lara placing the stalker case in the 'solved' cabinet

Seriously, it's not that hard.

You read my mind completely. Or else, they could've had the explosion as the finale. That way, more people want to tune in next year. Or, like Rabs said, they were the ones who stabbed Sally. Instead, they chose to give us disappointing endings.

And that said, with them back, at least we get to see more of Peter in Detective mode instead of the sappy person that he's become. And, I just called him a hypocrite on the NB thread. So, I'm sitting here very comfortably waiting for the backlash to happen.

ETA: That was a long rant.

! Stay here, you'll be safe from the NB fans.

I know! It's not fair! They owe us a DVD with specially filmed episodes regarding their explanation/motive.

And I was thinking about their whole love interest thing earlier. Maybe Zoe loved Tracey because Sarah said it was okay to love two people at once? Like, maybe Zoe was still avenging Sarah's death but was with Tracey. Surely Sarah must've told Zoe it was fine to love two people at once when she told her that she lover her as well as Felix at the institute? These lunatics are very complex.

That's what I intend to do.

I concur with that as well. Wouldn't that be like the best Xmas present that they could give us? With all the Behind The Scenes stuff and we get to see Emily and Sarah interact and all.

That's so true. Who knows. Tracey and Zoe could've been together for ages for all we know. I mean, how could a Detective fall for Zoe when she knew she was the SB Stalker. Then again, Laura McPherson managed to but she was different. Laura only helped her escape- as in her body was the one that was burnt.

They are extremely complex. What wouldn't I give to be given access to Zoe's brain to see how it ticks. Dan, I so should've done Criminology. Dang it. Lol.

Do you think that there's a possibility that Sarah only said that she loved Zoe in order to convince Zoe to let her escape? Maybe Sarah didn't really love her but said that just so that she could avenge Felix's death. After all, Sarah was on drugs and drug addicts are very good at conniving especially in getting what they want. And, somehow, for some reason or another, Zoe felt that she really did care because of her past and all and to finally have someone that cared for her, made her just a little, vulnerable. [i swear, you guys will hit me for this one.] It's just an observation.

[Oxidizer]

That's true. And the small fact that only the police and a small group of Bay residents knew that Zoe was the stalker at the time. Laura wouldn't have known about any of that as she was from somewhere else wasn't she?

BTW, was it just me or did Jack say, when stumbling across the McPherson case, that her farm house was abandoned and all of her animals either died or escaped?

Ooh! I've just thought of a oneshot..

I think it's safe to say that Sarah was definitely using her. I guess even Zoe can be naive enough to manipulate. She was just a time bomb from day one just waiting to explode. I guess Sarah's manipulation and death just ticked her off and triggered off her psychosis (?).

[swfc]

Exactly. Only Sally and Peter saw the explosion happen. Everyone else basically had to take their word for it that she was dead. Laura was Zoe's friend whom they didn't explore and told us how they met and all. [Very slack of them].

Uhm, no idea really. I didn't pay much attention to that but if I remembered correctly, I did hear him say that. What episode was that, do you know? But, it sounds extremely familiar. Sorry, dude. Yay! More oneshots! I love oneshot fics. Yet, it's harder to write because of the stuff that you can and cannot fit in it.

Exactly. And, really, if you think about it, Zoe said there was a connection between them when they met. And, maybe Sarah felt that connection and saw her way out of it. She manipulated Zoe to get her way not knowing the effect it would cause on Zoe- Zoe avenging Sarah's death and then coming back to exact revenge on the town which ultimately caused her death [in the eyes of the SPs anyway]. *light bulb turns on*

[Oxidizer]

Exactly.

I wish they showed flashbacks of Zoe at that tyre factory that day with Laura. The building they used was still there and good enough to film in for Peter's scenes so why not film flashbacks?

Surely they must've kept the cyan tanktop she was wearing? She could've worn that again, tied her hair back tightly, get back into Eve Jacobsen's character and bring that girl back who they used in Laura's profile to film the scenes. Zoe still couldn't said how she survived but do a VO on the flashback like last year.

I'm not sure what the episode number was but I could've sworn that's what happened. I think I'll have to dig that ep out from wherever it is. Someone must have it somewhere. I want to write this Eve/Laura oneshot damnit!

Whenever I get around to doing it, it'll be called Phoenix Effect.

Let me know what you think about this:

She peered into the glass window and saw her. She saw her lying down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. As though, the ceiling was telling her something. Calling out to her. She stood there for no one knew how long, just staring at her. She knew that they would have to encounter each other eventually. Somehow, she felt nervous. She silently pushed the door open and entered the room.

She listened. Listened attentively like a lover did when their beloved was telling them a story.

Back to the topic:

Apparently Peter's much better to film/talk about than Zoe is that's why.

Exactly. I think they thought that since they've done the whole flashback thing for her last year, they shouldn't do it this year. Either that or they must've thought that since they'll be doing one for Peter, Zoe and Tracey didn't need one.

Lol, okay, I shall wait for it.

[Oxidizer]

That's awesome! Your descriptive writing skills are amazing.

More than likely. It's so annoying.

Hmm. I'm not sure when this'll be done but I wouldn't mind it being posted sometime this week. It's going to be about how she brought her to the tyre factory and survived the explosion and flashbacks showing how she was manipulated etc.

I always thought that there was a possibility that Zoe would come back after seeing how it ended last year. Zoe closed and locked the entrance door behind her before checking up on Sally in the feedroom, where she was pushed over (that was so planned), Sally tried the exit but realised it was locked, so went and climbed up through the back. While Sally was outside getting away, where the hell was Zoe? Getting Laura. She chased Sally back into the building through the main entrance. Hang on, didn't Zoe lock it? Hence while Sally was running around, Zoe opened it, told Laura to get inside to help clear up her "boyfriend's" stuff while she chased Sally back in. Make sense?

[swfc]

Thank you. *offers Andy some Aaron Standford shaped cookies*

I was inspired to write a Sarah/Zoe fic about her manipulating Zoe which ultimately led to Zoe's destruction.

Yay! Finally, we're getting the explanation of how Zoe and Laura met. I'm sure you'll find the episode. If not, then just make it up.

Yeah, it made sense after reading it the third time. Somehow my brain's being a tad bit slow tonite.... Altho, I don't really remember it. Must really go watch the stalker reveal episode again. Basically, they unwittingly left us a clue about Zoe's return. You've got to love them for that, definitely.
