[[WMG: Combaticus' return]]
There was a podcast interview where Karacas stated he had an idea for bringing Combaticus back. While it's too early to say if Combaticus will be in season 4 or if whatever idea it was will get used there, there are all sorts of theories to wonder on this guy and how he might come back, in what sense and if it's really him.

* Hunter somehow escapes her confinement, somehow stumbles across a memory or file on the little guy, and shapeshifts into him- leading to a much more bloodthirsty and vicious copy of Combaticus running amok and wanting some revenge on the Twins, perhaps testing them with the face of their own deceased clone.
* NegativeContinuity prevails for him, and he appears unharmed and as ready to go as the prototype Jailbots and Bobo were in "Planet Radio", or other dead characters who later turned up relatively intact and okay.
* The Triplets (while they were stranded at Superjail) found the files on Combaticus and made their ''own'' version as a way to get back at the Twins for leaving them stuck at such an inferior place.
* Being the "new god of war", the constellation Combaticus arrives as a rather literal deus ex machina in some bloodbath. Maybe with enough bloodshed, he regains a physical form as Gore did (One must hope he doesn't meet as pathetic an end as Gore).
* In another wild guess, a recreated Combaticus could be one of the "alien spore mutants" described for season 4.
* He appears as a ghost or hallucination.

[[WMG: Jacknife's female counterpart]]
In the obvious explanation, it's RuleOfFunny and the chance to show a woman experiencing Jacknife's escapades. In a Wild Mass Guessing world, however:
* She's possibly his sister. Perhaps Jacknife's mother died when he was young, or she was as deadbeat as his father and left, taking the other child with her to raise on her own. Or chances are that his father (as lecherous and criminal as he was) likely slept with many women, so they could also be half-siblings.
* We know one of Mistress' inmates was the mother of his son. Although they never specify and it could be any of them, there is the chance that Jacknife might have slept with his very counterpart-- [[BrotherSisterIncest possibly his own sister]].
** Jacknife himself was conspicuously absent in "Stingstress", but may have made his way into Ultraprison then by boarding the ship at the end (as he did before).

Maybe there's a reverse Warden->Alice situation where only Bruce has actual affection for her afterwards, or it'll be played as the Mistress developing feelings for an indifferent Bruce (who like Alice, only did it to get the job done).

[[WMG: The Mistress' next lover?]]
Christy Karacas tweeted "It depends who sleeps with her next" in response to a fan asking if Mistress would go back to her original persona in season 4, or continue her hippie lifestyle. This could be a joke that fans read a lot into, and of course, she could [[TakeAThirdOption even take on another unexpected twist in her personality]]. But let's have some wild mass guesses go below:
* The Warden, causing her to become disgusted and bitter once more, seeing as it isn't likely for her to spring for getting married with him like her fanon self. If she ''does'' somehow begin liking him, it winds up completely one-sided.
* Bruce, seeing as he's done little to nothing so far and is the least-developed of the Ultraprison staff.
* Ash, causing her to "fire up" once more.
* The Twins, Peedee, or someone else completely unexpected.

** Alternatively, Jacknife may be the only character to survive while everyone else dies... and then when he makes it out to the real world, is unceremoniously killed in some other way (a heart attack, knifed by another criminal, crushed by a falling satellite, or any other pathetic cause of death).

One could probably hope it's not the canon case (lest it'd come off too "Simpsons"), but it's something to think about with the love of swerves and twists.

[[WMG: The Twins after "Troubles with Triples" aren't the originals.]]
It seemed like the plot was reset and Karacas seemed to hint that way, that it wasn't meant to be resolved but that the fan reaction made him believe they'd revisit it.
Now, one obvious assumption is that the Twins managed to return home in some way. But if a fan wanted to throw in a further layer of mindscrew and play about with the already-loose continuity, there is this to consider:
What if time passed differently on their planet than it did on Earth, and the ones that returned to Superjail ''weren't'' the originals at all, but the offspring of the Twins (who either actually became overlords and/or died off or disappeared in some way), or perhaps backup clones made to carry out business and fun back at the jail while they were away?

[[WMG: The Warden is a [[ChangelingTheLost True Fae.]]]]
Superjail is his Realm and the prisoners and staff are changelings. This is why Superjail is chaotic and inconsistent and the inmates and staff never stay dead. The Warden's so sociopathic because hes basically a HumanoidAbomination

Jared is a Drudge, Alice is either a Wizened Soldier or a Bloodbrute (or even a Weisse Frau), Jailbot a Manikin, The Twins are either Telluric or Actors/Wisps of another Fae, The Doctor is a Chirurgeon, Jacknife is a Bloodbrute or a Troll, Gary is/was a Talespinner, Ash is a Fireheart, Lord Stingray is a Larcenist or a Shadowsoul (or a Water-Dweller) and Cancer is either a Treasured, a Muse or a Playmate.

The Mistress is another true fae, with Ultraprison as her realm.

[[WMG: The Warden is Edd from EdEddNEddy.]]
* They're talking about Double D. Both the warden and Double D have black hair and gaps in their teeth, and their both pretty pale and scrawny. Imagine that something makes Double D go absolutely insane, maybe Ed and Eddy get killed in front of him by a child molester, and he decides to put all of his genius towards creating a prison that can hold criminals better than the regular sort. Using his notes from the episode where his friends and himself found out the world used cartoon physics, and his wacky inventions, he creates Superjail. Jared and Alice have no relation to EdEddNEddy while Jailbot is really a pimped-out Plank, and one of Double D's first creations that was specifically for Superjail. His outfit is Jimmy's design.
** {{Jossed}}. WordOfGod for EdEddNEddy has stated Double D is blonde under his hat.

* Those whose deaths actually stick can be chalked up to being forgotten by the Warden or the jail, or being purposely left dead as there's no place for them in his vision. The Warden (or a jail entity itself) may subconsciously control and resetting the population to what he remembers best, as a way of putting his toys back after they're done being played with.

**But what does this say about Jackknife who always escapes Superjail?



*** WordOfGod has stated that Gene Wilder's Wonka was a large influence in the creation of the Warden. Personally, I'd mark the Warden as just a ''teensy'' bit too sadistic and downright crude to be Willy Wonka himself, despite the similar antics. The EvilTwin theory, though, is viable...

[[WMG: the Warden is from another planet/plane of existence where females do not exist.]]
Think about it. The first thing he says after Ultraprison crashes into Superjail is "Jared are these what you call immigrants?". In the Mr. Grumpy-pants episode he reacts to Cancer with: "What the hell is that?!" and calls her grotesque. Further proof is his ability to sorta give birth to his inner child in the same episode. Maybe his people reproduce asexually?
* MPreg. Jared will bear his child.
* This Trope thinks Warden has a sparkly, rainbow vagina.
* That would explain his infatuation with Alice.

[[WMG: Superjail is stagnating on prisoners]]
There hasn't been too many new prisoner arrivals in season three and the Warden loves to keep them as a sick version of a family as revealed in the latest episode. It could be taken as the outside world knows about the atrocities that happen in the jail and all the criminals tend to reform or go into white collar crime that make it hard to be found so they won't be sent there.

\n[[WMG:The Docter is a prisoner]]
Think about it how does what he do benefit superjail in anyway? He was taken their by Jailbot for his unethical expertments and Warden liked him so much he gave him a private lab so he could continute his mad creations, helping make superjail a more insane place. Also, during the staff talent show he didn't have an act he was conducting the orchestra.

[[WMG: The series finale will take place around the funeral of Jacknife.]]

* Given how little attention is paid to the countless deaths in Superjail it would be a huge narrative inversion to end with the whole of Superjail reminiscing on the death of an inmate. What's more it would bookend the series as it the pilot opens with Jacknife's first arrival in Superjail.
