I managed to avoid watching the preview for next week, so we'll see how long that lasts lol. The build up the last two episodes of this season is definitely tangible now though, unbelievable ending once again to tonight's episode. Some of you have likely figured this out on your own, but I've managed to put together a couple pieces that seem to confirm what I strongly suspected while watching tonight's episode. (Don't read beyond this if you don't want to read a potential spoiler)

Jack the Ripper seems to have possessed none other than Sean Renard. When they showed the killer's feet walking past Henrietta's body (R.I.P.), you can get a very clear glimpse of the shoes he's wearing. I'm almost 100% sure on this, but they are the same shoes Renard is shown wearing when he walks out of the bathroom and again when he enters Henrietta's house desperate for her help. Despite the killer's accent, the depth of his voice sounded similar to Renard's. Monroe's description of Jack the Ripper when he was reading the Diaries certainly sounded like some time of possession, but Monroe seemed to think that "the devil made me do it excuse" wasn't plausible. Keeping that in mind though, Renard has been having visions lately of something grabbing for him, something that certainly looks demonic.

Lurukenfrau may remember this, but we discussed that Renard's temporary black-outs and violent acts seemed to almost be like he was possessed by some kind of darkness. Everything just seems to fit too perfectly, and the shoes are really what did it for me. I'm not sure what the meaning of him waking up in water seems to be, other than maybe water could be symbolic of a "cleansing" of his actions and what he'd just done.

Guess we'll find out soon enough if I'm right!
