Julie cannot walk and therefore could not have gotten up the stairs.  I think
the actress is doing a lousy job of being paralyzed, she keeps moving her legs.

The man at the lodge told Bo he saw Sarah heading for the dead end to the lake.
Of course Sarah has red raincoat and she will think that she blacked out and
killed Carlo.  Bo, being the idiot he has been lately will forget what he was
told about her heading for the lake.

To obvious to have actually done the deed.

I have two scenarios on who killed Carlo.

Number 1

Charlotte is Scarecrow.  After Carlo's power failed to get her the man she 
loved (Jake), she decides to get back at Daddy.  She makes a deal with the FAB,
and talks one of Carlo's associates into wearing a wire.  When Charlotte finds
out that Alex has destroyed the tapes she then kills her father.  Now all she
has to do is to sit back and collect the inheritance.

Number 2

Stephanie's father was Scarecrow.  After Carlo kills his brother he makes
arrangements do that it looks like natural causes. (I can't remember how he
died)  Stephanie finds the folder sitting on the desk and realizes that her
uncle had something to do with her father's death.  She takes the gun that 
was in the desk and shoots Carlo.

Both these scenarios would explain how the killer got so close.

Is anyone else getting a little tired of Renee coming to Carlo's rescue.  I
mean, come on, after she finds out that Asa is having Carlo followed she rushes
over to his apartment.  IS THIS WOMAN STUPID ???  I think Asa has every right
to feel that she is still involved with Carlo even though she states it has
been over for years.  She sure couldn't convince me.  And how come Vicky 
hasn't descended on her about this.

See, this is a clue the writers left.  It had to be someone close to
Carlo that killed him, someone he trusted.

What time did Stephanie arrive at Al party???

 I don't think Alex called Carlo.

It's about time Cassie got her back bone back.  I was beginning tho think
she was going to turn into one of those long suffering wives.
