I don't believe it was the Westies. Nope. No way.

Oh, I 100% believe they've been cashing Dudenoff's checks and almost certainly knew he was dead. Maybe they even incinerated the body to cover up his death so they could keep their living arrangements.

But with all the callbacks to Season One and the 7th episode of a season traditionally being a Theo episode, how do you NOT make the comparison to the Dimases? They were guilty of stealing from funeral homes and misleading the police about Zoe's death, but they had nothing to do with Tim.

I think it's the same with the Westies--they're guilty of something, sure, but they're not the killers we're looking for.

Everything this season revolves around movies: the inclusion of Levy, Galifianakis, and Longoria on the case, Bev Melon turning up EVERYWHERE, all the stunt doubles, Dudenoff as a film prof and all the Westies as well as the Brothers being his former students...

Personally, I'm not letting go of the Glenn thing. He got shot in the head. He's been unconscious and unmentioned since then. I'm betting in episode nine, he's going to wake up and deliver one hell of a plot twist.

What is... a red herring?

A red herring symbolises a diversion tactic. It's a literary device that is used to distract the reader and lead them to a false conclusion.

Mostly used intentionally, especially in crime stories, it can also be used unintentionally. In crime and adventure stories this element is one of the most important ones to set the reader on the wrong track and keep up the suspense.

The name comes from the actual strong-smelling fish that was supposed to divert the hounds when hunting.

whats the origin of the phrase "red herring"?

In the bible, Numbers 19 states that to be cleansed of having touched a human corpse, one must, "Bring a red heifer without defect or blemish to the priest; it is to be taken outside the camp and slaughtered." The priest must then also be bathed in a river or spring.

The bible makes one exception though- If one has touched the corpse of a duck-billed platypus, they must use a red herring. As a poison-meated monotreme mammal that has a weird face and lays eggs, even God didn't know at first what to do if you encounter one of these demented things, so the herring was a placeholder until God could be sure it even was an animal.

Thus a "Red Herring" refers to an act of misdirection such as could even trick God, the platypus having been created not by god on the 5th or 6th days, but rather by Dwayne Justoffsen on the following Thursday as a joke.

Propaganda Under The Cut

Red Herring: "They say Scooby-Doo taught us that the real monsters were human beings and the same was true of the baby Scooby-Doo. Red herring is literally never the one under the mask but he's just as much of an asshole to the baby gang anyway. Absolutely sickening to see"

Zach Varmitech: "He won’t admit his feelings to Chris 😔 Also stealing animals and holding them hostage for his own evil schemes but that’s not as important"

"Zach because i once came across someone who selfshipped with him"

"vote zach because i love him"

"So….Help out Wild Kratts fam! Vote for Zach!!! Remember that below the man child facade lurks a competent villain!!!"

"if zach wins i will get off my ass and draw wild kratts again LET’S GOOOO TYYYYY"

what a fishy detective in ace attorney...

would the case be like Hotel Turnabout or something

Reasons why Glenn cannot be Sazz's killer:

He was clearly the target of that sniping attempt in episode 5/6. He took a bullet right to the head from someone who we know is an excellent shot.

If he was the one who killed Sazz, then who the hell is trying to kill him?

He was already in a coma when the trio got those creepy texts, so he couldn't have sent them.

Why would he have any interest in covering up something that happened in the Arconia or threatening Charles/Oliver/Mabel?

If we take Helga's word for it, he was unhinged and dangerous. Unhinged, dangerous people don't carry out elaborate sniping plots. At most, they'll turn up at your door and drunkenly stab you.

Unless it's all a ruse and he's not really an unhinged, desperate stalker--but if it's all an act, then why would he have been keeping up the crazy while harassing Sazz prior to killing her?

He's only one person. They clearly established Sazz's murder was pulled off by two or more people.

In conclusion, this is another red herring. It doesn't add up.
