Weve reached the final rung of this ladder that we call season 1.
Why does every plotline on this show suddenly feel like a widespread conspiracy?
Thats a pretty abrupt change of heart.

Alison tells Richard that shes back because shes despondent over Jasons death.
She insists that Jason was suffering from madness, seeing things that werent there.
Is it possible that the ladder is a real thing, not just a symbol of enlightenment?
Even if that is true, Alisons story still sounds suspicious.
Also, why is Cal suddenly preaching forgiveness for Alison, right after meeting with her in private?
This is a guy who gored a man to death with a broken idol for lesser crimes.
Once shes accepted back into the movement, she can avenge Jasons death by destroying Meyerism from the inside.
Now, seems like this is something he mightve had in common with Jason.
Theres a dead falcon on the floor of a local market.
Theres a giant, scary snake slithering around his bed.
Did he accidentally mention that Dr. Stephen Meyer was dying?
Its like I am on the medicine, but I am stone cold sober, he reveals.
Well, its possible that Eddies not as sober as he thinks.
Its possible that Eddies simply feeling the repercussions of decades of green smoothie consumption.
NEXT: Is that Dr. Meyer at the door?
Conspiracytheory #3: Sarah isnt leading the movement with Cal for the holiest reasons
Poor Sarah.
Shes in a tough position.
Her kids are being raised without a father.
Shes separated from the love of her life.
And now shes discovered that her spiritual partner is a murderer.
Its a little strange that Sarah puts all of this together so easily.
But mystical things happen in this movement all the time!
Granted, Cal was absent the night when the Meyerists voted about the Hondurans.
Why should Sarah have any reason to be suspicious?
And Sarahjust happensto remember that there was a full moon the night of the vote?
And Cals computer passwordjust happensto be Sarahs name?
I mean, the guy just covered up a murder.
He wasnt even crafty enough to try Sarah1234?
And she strongly suspects that he killed Silas, too.
The fact that she promises not to tell anyone either of these things gives me pause.
Is her own faith in Meyerism more complicated than we think?
But I wonder if she also has personal reasons to lead.
Is she getting closer to Cal so that Eddie wont get completely banished?
Dont forget the flame-retardant gloves!
Conspiracy theory #4:Abe ahem, Sam!
This gives Abe/Sam a good excuse to return to the movement even though the FBI doesnt want him to.
This way, he can claim it has nothing to do with the investigation: Its a personal choice.
Will he and Alison team up next season to drag the movement down together, from within?
(See also: conspiracy theory #1.)
Is it possible that the doctor is actually alive?
And if so, what does he want from Eddie?
Maybe Dr. Meyer knows that Cal is leading the movement astray.
Remember that Silas said that Cal was not the leader Dr. Meyer envisioned for generations to come.
Maybe that leader was Eddie?
Well have a new season ofThe Pathbefore we know it.
Until then, Ill be sitting here in my tinfoil hat, waiting for the light to return.
