** But none of them at the party didn’t or couldn’t notice that Kate was under the influence of something and that one drink of red wine shouldn’t be enough to get someone drunk off their ass? Plus the fact that how in the world did Victoria and Taylor escape from landing in some serious hot water considering that they posted the video online without Kate’s consent?

* I’m still puzzled about why Max or Chloe didn’t even bother to take the evidence (red binders and disgusting pictures of Kate, Rachel and the other girls) with them after they left the Dark Room???? They don’t think that it would have made life so much easier for them if they took it with them and got ahold of law enforcement and mainly the Oregon State Police or the FBI????? Especially considering most of the Arcadia Bay PD was in the pockets of the Prescotts and getting ahold of an Outside Agency would have been the best bet but no they completely left behind all the evidence and they didn’t even bother to alert either agency when they found Rachel’s Body!!!!!!!!!!! I’m like COME ON!!!!!!! I can see why David got on both of their asses when he said that they think they know so much than most adults. No wonder why Jefferson was able to easily lure them into that trap.

** It would make sense if Nathan was standing closer to Kate at the time. If Jefferson was at more of a distance, his voice wouldn't be distinct enough for Kate to recall or recognize. This would explain why Kate briefly wakes up, then gets put back under; Nathan gave her a lighter dose to begin with (to avoid a repeat of the Rachel situation) and hurriedly injected her again. It should also be noted that Kate would have heard Nathan's voice before she lost consciousness at the party, but wouldn't have heard Mark's voice since at least that afternoon, assuming she had his class on the same day.

* Speaking of Kate, how does she recognize Nathan's voice but not Jefferson's voice? At the beginning of Episode 2, she tells Max that she remembers "someone" talking to her in a smooth voice which she didn't recognize as Jefferson's and then she says she heard Nathan's voice. This comes off as strange if you consider her level of familiarity with the two. Knowing Nathan's seething contempt for anyone outside of his Vortex Club group and Kate's lack of popularity with said group, it's highly unlikely that these two are on speaking terms (that time when Nathan offered to take her to the "ER" was likely the first and only time they spoke with one another), so it makes no sense that Kate would somehow be able to recognize his voice over the voice of a teacher with whom she interacts everyday, hearing his voice during lectures and also helping him in class.

*** [[spoiler: While Jefferson might get a kick out of seeing Victoria humbled and afraid, it's doubtful he thinks of her as modeling material. She's not on the tarp in front of the camera; Max is. Jefferson himself says she's "too harsh" for his "lens." Victoria wasn't brought to the Dark Room as a subject, she was brought there until Jefferson could dispose of her. Plus, if you look at Jefferson's interactions with Max even before the Dark Room, it's obvious in retrospect that he's always "liked" her (something similar happened with Kate; she was Jefferson's assistant for a while). But while he may praise Victoria in class, like any good teacher would, whenever they speak outside of that environment, he's anywhere from formal to outright disgusted with her, which is probably not how he'd treat an ideal victim.]]

** Max might have been too preoccupied to even think about Victoria and Nathan getting revenge on her. She's recently discovered this new power of hers, she's met up with Chloe after so many years apart and she's concerned about Kate too. Additionally, Max may have tried locking her door in the past only to have Victoria get in there anyway; she's not the kind of person to let a locked door stop her. But it's more likely she was too busy thinking about other things. As for Victoria? She's rich, it's not as if it would be hard to replace anything that got taken or broken. She also more than likely knows that her fellow students either worship her or simply know that messing with her things would be an extremely bad idea.

** That's the Butterfly Effect for you. The smallest event can end up making huge changes. If William hadn't died, then Max would be a lot less anxious about moving to Seattle as she wouldn't be leaving her grieving best friend behind. It's also likely that William's death affected Max as well since she seems very close to him during their scenes together, so add onto the fact that she wouldn't be grieving herself. A Max without that weighing her down might well end up becoming more confident in Seattle, more popular, which in turn leads to her turning out more like Victoria and the Vortex Club when she ends up returning to Arcadia Bay.

*** In support of the preceeding troper: Don't forget that Warren is (A) a nerd raised on a diet of sci-fi movies, and (B) a panicking teenager in the middle of a crisis situation. He's not an expert and is clearly grasping at straws for anything which would justify or potentially rectify this ongoing unnatural disaster. Warren is drawing a correlation between Chloe and the storm without any evidence beyond the one or two sentences Max just told him. After all, Chloe isn't being targeted by the universe via random happenstance, a la ''Final Destination''. Every time she is seen dying in the game is the result of her own choices. Chloe associates with shady people, tries to blackmail a clearly unstable and dangerous person, drinks booze and plays with a gun, lies down on train tracks she knows are in regular use, and so on. Alt!Chloe asks Max to help her commit assisted suicide. Even when Jefferson kills Chloe, it's because she assumed the evidence "Nathan" was going to destroy was Rachel's body (rather than literally everything in the Dark Room), which they left in the ground rather than report to the authorities because Chloe ''doesn't trust them''. It is inarguable that witnessing Chloe's death is what triggered the expression of Max's powers. And the assorted unnatural phenomenon seem to be a result of Max tampering with time, i.e. the unscheduled eclipse and second Moon coming from alternate realities bleeding through. But the common denominator here isn't Chloe, ''it's Max''. Max's anxiety initially prevents her from taking action for fear of consequences, the discovery of her powers enables her to redo everything until she gets the results she wants, then the finale is predicated on Max finally making an impossible choice and simply accepting that whatever comes next is beyond her control. Whichever ending the player chooses only matters insofar as their own values and degree of investment; Max learns the same lesson in both endings. If you chose to sacrifice Chloe, there is no sign of the storm in this final timeline because Max has resolved to make a difference ''without using her powers''. If you chose to sacrifice Arcadia Bay, the storm abates and the girls are able to leave in peace, because Max has ''stopped using her powers''. If Chloe was indeed destined to die, you'd think the storm would ''get worse'', wouldn't you? Furthermore, Alt!Chloe's life is already on a timer. Due to her respiratory condition, she is going to die soon, whether or not Max accepts her request. But even then, the wildlife is still dying and the storm is still coming. So all this phenomena is not dependent upon Chloe's death, but Max's power.
