Laurie thinks a fall would kill him?
Bullets, fire, explosions, etc...hasn't killed Michael. But she believes a fall from a small building would do the trick? Really??
shareObviously it wasn't a very good plan. Given her state of mind, to be so easily tricked by the same grabbing of the mask, which how the real Michael knew that's what the paramedic did when he wasn't there is a plot hole, unless it came out in the papers. Michael wasn't there to see that. Anyway, the most it would've done was maybe broken his legs/back but only 3 stories tall, probably nothing fatal.
Honestly it was a poorly written exit for Laurie. They had to get it out of the way, but it could've been better. The whole movie could've been better.
Laurie was smart enough to fake taking her meds, set up the whole trap, but not smart enough or sane enough to think it through. Sad.

The part that gets me is how can he NOT Michael when
1) he broke through your cardboard door(seriously the door broke open like cardboard)
2) he was literally seconds behind you so when would he have time to switch(which tells me either she is a very slow runner or Michaels walking speed is incredible )
3) dude tried to stab you. If it wasn't him how and why would someone do that ?
In response to how Michael knew that about the paramedic my eyes is he assumed she felt a way about killing the wrong guy since it was a known fact( nurses were talking about it). At least I'm assuming.
** NOT be Michael
shareAny grown man, especially the mentally insane like Harold or anyone else for that matter, can break through a door. Hell, I'm sure Laurie could've broken the door if she felt like it. They aren't exactly reinforced steel.
She was mentally broken, not insane, per se, but after the events of 1 and 2 she was a mess, by H20 we're talking off the deep end. Spend 3 years in a mental hospital and see if you're not a little out of touch with reality. She obviously wasn't thinking clearly. Or was she? Anyone could put on a mask and a set of overalls and they were in a sanitarium full of crazy people. Laurie was basically the celebrity wing. If the nurses knew who she was, the inmates knew, esp. Harold. Esp. after 3 years. How could you not?
Maybe the paramedic's death was in the papers. Michael can read, in fact, Loomis' papers on Laurie allowed him to find her in H20 and he had to be aware of her location after she was locked up. He had to have read it/saw it somewhere. So it's really not that hard to explain the opening. You just have to walk through it.

When you put it that way it opens a new way of thinking...
"Some would say I'm the reverse
We are Enemies, Rivals, Opposites"
"Any grown man, especially the mentally insane like Harold or anyone else for that matter, can break through a door. Hell, I'm sure Laurie could've broken the door if she felt like it. They aren't exactly reinforced steel."
You're an idiot. Hospital doors, especially ones in a funny farm where people are committed, are thick, solid wood. They don't use cheap hollow doors like you'd find in a trailer. I'd love to see you, or anyone else, for that matter, try to break through one.
