Well, that just about clears up the case. Hopper figures the entire thing out. A delightful way to end the series...sort of.
Answered questions:
- Dominguez isn't in Pelican Bay. He gets released whenever he wants, because the warden answers to Detweiller.
- Detweiller (Quarry Guy) used to be the warden at Pelican Bay when Dominguez was first in. When they want Dominguez for a hit, they signal him to assault somebody (as what happened with the guard), Dominguez gets put into solitary, and somebody (the minions, one supposes) bust him out.
- Dominguez's sister is living in L.A. under an assumed name, and she houses Dominguez until Booth's right-hand-man wants him.
- Dominguez did kill Garza, and at the end of the night its he who kills Rita. Well, unless Chad and Hopper team up.
- Fencik and Buchalter have been renting the apartment above Hopper and using it to spy on him.
- Pileggi looks to be innocent, just with a beef against Hopper Sr. Unless he really did check out the gun.
- Catching the real killer and clearing his name doesn't pull Hopper from the time loop.
Unanswered questions are again few in these latter episodes:
- Who took the gun out of evidence?
- What was the purpose of spying on Hopper's apartment?
- Who was the guy in the tub?
- What will it take to be rescued from the day?
