Many are speculating that the end shot of him in the canoe is a dream sequence. He's 16, a minor, and his parents would probably have used their power and prestige to stop the plane and deboard, or demand the authorities return him to his parent's custody. Certainly before he was able to leave the plane and security was alerted. It might be true that he didn't board the plane unnoticed, but no way his parents just left him there.
If it's a dream sequence, that's a pretty powerful statement about the caving-in to materialism and to The Man, because it's simply easier, as Rachel did. And as the guy Tanya started hanging out with did.
LOL where is the crazy poster? BLM? Kai taking over ownership?
"Human remains"...was someone eaten by the sharks?
I have tried to "uncover the twist" in other mysteries and always end up being wrong, with the obvious answer being the answer with a not-so-expected story behind it. Like an accident. I think it's Rachel, who swam out and was eaten by the sharks, or it's Quinn, and Rachel tried to get Shane to save him, snd he didn't, and Rachel left Shane as a result. Which explains why Shane is so upset at the human remains and is alone at the airport. When taking these two thinks into account, there has to be a reason he'd be this upset if anyone in the box isn't either his mom or Rachel.
I buy that, or that the hotel manager shot her and is in jail.
I think it might be Belinda, who has a son in college (U of Hawaii Honolulu) and is constantly getting in between Armond and impending disaster. She is hot instead of Shane, or protecting Shane, and Armond then shoots himself.
If Rachel were in jail do we think that Shane would really be leaving her there? He looks pretty wrecked in the airport.
He may be headed to Honolulu, where Rachel would stand trial.
That or Belinda dying supports White's satire--that the rich play with people and the poor suffer all the consequences. Which is what his other movies have been about.
The "natives" who took Quinn canoeing have nothing to do with Kia's family, who disowned him because he sold out. If they find out he stole the bracelets and a guest helped plan it? And he took the rap? You've never been to Hawaii, have you?
so it's definitely Belinda who dies. Here's why I think that's what happened: In episode 3, she calls her son who is "off to class" (at U of Hawaii in Honolulu). They have a brief back-and -forth and she hangs up and finds Armond in the car who she thinks "is dead". She is also the one standing in between Armond and Shane when they walk in Armond and Dillion in Armond's office. So she is tied into that whole battle. She is the only one who notices when anyone is in trouble, and she is the "healing force". My prediction is that she walks in on /comes between Armond attempting to kill Shane, and takes the blow or the bullet. Armond, realizing he shot Belinda, and probably high off his rocker, turns the gun on himself.
Rachel leaves Shane, and this explains exeverything. 1. Why Rachel isn't at the airport with Shane. 2. Why Shane isn't in police custody (he didn't kill anyone). 3. Why he isn't being detained for any court action (Armond is dead). 4. Why Shane is so upset as he stares out at the human remains being loaded onto the plane. He knows he is responsible for the death of a mom 5. headed back to her son in Honolulu (where she is likely from) for burial.
No one is arrested, no one at the airport talks about any police case. My guess is Kai returns the bracelets to the Mossbacher family, and they decide not to press any charges (they got a free stay, after all) but Quinn gets a hold of them and drops them in the ocean. And Paula returns back to the states. No Quinn is not older than Olivia--he is the youngest in the family and still in high school. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Quinn would stay but highly unlikely.
The opening credits have Shane's character as a chameleon changing his colors and Belinda bleeding out. This is why I think this makes sense (I'm also familiar with Mike White's work).
A post like this in rando block letters and in boldface is highly inappropriate and will be reported.
I have another prediction: Armond will be fired, Kai will be named in the robbery but disappears, (kai was likely working the shift Dillon was supposed to be working, this may or may not come to light), and Armond is determined to get revenge on Shane. He will be in the process of harming Shane when Belinda steps in and takes the blow (or shot, orwhathaveyou) (remember the scene when Shane and Belina walked on Armond in his office? Belinda dies, and they are transporting her body back to the States because Belinda's son, who she called in episode 2, lives there, or lives on Honolulu. This also makes sense as in the opening credits when the actresse's name who plays B comes up the picture starts to bleed.
Quinn is a teenager, I think 15 or 16. His mother says so in the episode about him sleeping on the beach.
I'm sorry, your random capitalization is too distracting. I keep reading it to myself with emphasis and it's off-putting. You probably have some great ideas here but the presentation is far too distracting. The ability of poetry to soar above these distractions is hard work and talent. Random all-caps are used in propaganda and by people with mental issues--to appeal to others with mental issues. I just can't process it.
If you can post in a way that's not so distracting I'm happy to read and reply.
There are no BLM offices in Hawaii, however, the feds do own a TON of Hawaiian land.
There's something to Tanya and Greg having rooms next to each other, but I think that's symbolic. Both are in positions where they can help natives/POC, but both fail to.
Testify...as in court? There's only one more episode left. You mean she spills everything to the cops?
How on earth would Kai hiring an "expensive attorney" (with stolen money????) get "his" land back in one episode? That would take years and would likely fall under eminent domain and/or settle out of court, if not be thrown out...
Quinn is a minor. Not likely he will be allowed to stay. I suppose he could run away, but he no more belongs there on that island as does Paula. I guess if he ran away and stayed with the tribe that's training to sail to K, but that's not incredibly realistic. Nicole wouldn't allow it.
I don't see Olivia ratting Paula out. I see her trying to get the bracelets back so she can sell them herself.
I can also see Quinn somehow getting the bracelets back (through Paula? Through Kai?) and dumping them into the ocean.
