The title for the first episode is "woe has joined" which is

Who is Jane Doe.

[–] Krystella83 9 years ago

So all together we get:
Who is Jane Doe? Taylor Shaw, the missing girl, or maybe not.

The titles are the story. It's cool if it's really intentional.

[–] jenderalcilik 9 years ago

Adding Eps 05 & 06

1x05 “SPLIT THE LAW” = WILL THE PAST
1x06 “CEDE YOUR SOUL” = CLOUD OUR EYES

Who is Jane Doe? Taylor Shaw, the missing girl, or maybe not. Will The past cloud our eyes?

[–] Krystella83 9 years ago

Thanks. I've tried to solve those eps titles but I'm terrible at anagrams, and it's harder in English because it's not my first language.
Is there some place where people post the answers? I would like to know the next ones too.

[–] knight3136 9 years ago

I think when we get the rest of the other episodes we will be able to put them in the correct order. I don't think its going to be

Who is Jane Doe? Taylor Shaw, the missing girl....

[–] Fusion72 9 years ago

That is. It's better than what is going on in-show .

[–] JDLail 9 years ago

Nice !

Cool, thanks for that.

I love inside jokes. I hope to be a part of one some day. (Michael Scott)

[–] whisper555 9 years ago

Replying so so I can keep track of updates

[–] spn_djinn 9 years ago

Edited and updated!

[–] haunting752 9 years ago

There's a handful of other episode titles including

1x07 - "Sent On Tour" = Trust No One
1x08 - "Persecute Envoys" = Suspect Everyone
1x09 - "Authentic Flirt" = If Truth Can't Lie

None of these are confirmed, but the first two seem pretty for sure.

Just waiting on Episode 10's title. And they say that's the end of the poem. Then they're gonna change their decryption (encryption? lol) pattern for the next 12 episodes.

I was hoping for a board about these I was gonna start it but didn't even know where to begin or what all to say in an introduction. lol Gotta go check out Entertainment Weekly's article because that's who first announced and revealed it.

[–] spn_djinn 9 years ago

Thanks. Will update the OP.

[–] haunting752 9 years ago

Scratch that last one. Someone else online called it "Lift The Curtain". Which I do think makes more sense. LOL Just waiting for the title of Episode 10 to be revealed. Lol

[–] broughps 9 years ago

[–] spn_djinn 9 years ago

Updated. Also added the title for Ep. 10. That one looks interesting. Will a mystery be solved in 10? Plus this is the end of the title poem. Will have to see what they come up with for Episode 11 onwards. Looks like Episode 11 could be a shift in the story.

[–] NikiSarah 9 years ago

Ahh that's what episode 10 is! I was starting with REVEAL THE... and couldn't get the rest of the anagram.

Can't wait to see what the puzzles will be for the next episodes 
