I'm going to post this before I read through. This was an abysmal entry. If Jessica is dead. Except she obviously is. The chance of her being alive is so, so slim it doesn't even seem worth hanging on to. The ONLY way she could possibly be alive is if TO was trying to protect Jessica for some reason completely unknown to me. Yes, her one hope at life is the most horrific entity in the series. Good odds.

Now let me explain why her being dead in this entry would ruin it. Not only ruin it, make it the worst entry in the entire series. What has Jessica's role in the series up until this point been? A damsel in distress. All this time Jay's been continuing the investigation believing it's to save Jessica. But then plot twist, she died when Hoody and Masky failed to save her in yet another damsel in distress situation! What a creative and unique way to take a female character! And no, she doesn't have to be Hoody to avoid falling into this stereotype. It would have been a clever way if done right but it's not mandatory. When Jessica actually grabbed the gun from Alex and pointed it at him, that was excellent. Then she was unsure whether to shoot Hoody or Alex... more awesomeness. I've seen an idea brought up before that she'd turn up towards the end having gone through her own experiences but not weakened from them and help Jay out. I'd be perfectly fine with that. She's shown both initiative and intelligence - notice how she even thought to take the camera in case there was something important on it. This being in a dire situation. She clearly is able to be competent if the story allows her to be... but nope, damsel in distress for Jay to either save or angst over not saving.

I was also kind of excited to maybe see another side of Alex, it looked like he really wanted to help Jessica and might even have arranged a partnership with her before. Then he just ended up the same as usual, so nothing new or interesting there.

Masky is also confirmed to be working with Hoody. It's not much, since it was pretty obvious but at least it's now confirmed. Hoody also really wanted to save Jessica and was willing to risk himself to do it. He's looking less shady by the sec. A shame now that he can literally only be Brian. He better be unmasked next entry because it went from super obvious to the most obvious thing in the entire world right now. He's not Seth. Seth has 8 seconds of facetime. It's not Amy, Alex wouldn't have attacked her in #68, plus why bother asking us to suspend our disbelief about the body type if it's a female with as little screentime as Amy? It's Brian, there's no point acting like it's the mystery of the century any more (it never was) so just hurry up and unmask him. Note I don't mind it being Brian, it'll be really interesting to see Tim's reaction, I just really don't know why they treated it like such a huge mystery all this time, going as far as teasing the mask being off in 2 entries.

So yes, I really hope Jessica is alive but I kind of... passively hope. Because I know she isn't. Her only hope was TO. From what we were shown, only Alex and TO were with her up until she was left lying there. If someone else was able to come in, like Amy, they wouldn't have had such grim-looking footage, I think. Jessica almost definitely died a damsel in distress and so MH is officially a terrible example of writing female characters unless she somehow ends up being alive.

Oh yeah and "shesoutthere" is looking like a blatant lie from TTA now. That overly complicated code just gets more and more pointless.

Sorry if you do not like how whiny I sound or anything. This was just perhaps the worst possible thing they could do with the character, so I really, really did not like this entry.

Wait, I was wrong, lol. Jessica's wearing the same clothes here as in Entry #52, which takes place before her last chronological appearance. She's still alive. Somehow.

[ToTheFading]

That's interesting actually. Could explain where Jay was - he was unconscious having tackled the operator, and Masky & Hoody were trying to save Jessica from the same thing happening. Suppose they weren't able, and were carrying her away before she got taken, and were planning on taking her to Hoody's hut or something. They didn't succeed, and she ended up getting taken anyway, but it's certainly possible she isn't dead yet, as if this is the case, she woke up the next morning back at the hotel. Maybe here, she was only taken as Tim was in 64/65, rather than gone for good.

I swear I edit every single post I make...

[TheOperator]

Actually I think I was doubly wrong. In Entry #52 it's a shirt, in this it's an open jacket. Looks more like what she wore in #32, on second thought... damn that colour confusing me.

She's alive, tta has said what feels like a hundred time in his vids that shes still out there...she's probably just where Bruce is, and Tim was able to find him in the slendyverse, no reason to call this entry abysmal lo have some faith in the writing will ya?

Now, I think the main possibilities about what can Jay do next are:
A) He feels betrayed and like there is no reason to keep on it and tries to left his investigation.
B) He goes out for revenge, possibly allying with TTA.

I hope for the B.

Yay! I finally found out about a new entry in the morning rather than midnight!

Really good entry. Left me pretty satisfied, but still unsatisfied because of the many questions that arise.

This entry seemingly takes place during or around the events of Entry #33. So, I guess Hoody and Masky went and kidnapped Jessica while Jay was uploading Entry #32. I'm assuming that there was at least 10 minutes of time before Jay went to get Jessica to leave, so that leaves maybe enough time for Masky to come back and pursue Jay. It's hard to get the specifics with the distortion time skips and all that.

Is Jessica dead or alive? It's left ambiguous. I know some of you like to say she's dead, but her death is never actually shown. It's the same thing with Brian. We don't actually know if he's dead either; we just see his body being dragged. Bruce is the only one that's an actual death, with him being strangled and his head being smashed with a big rock. For some reason, Alex really decided to do him in good, unlike ANY of his other attacks.

Personally, I think it would be kind of stupid if Jessica was dead or just gone forever. One reason being that TTA cipher from several months ago. It said "shes out there." So doesn't that heavily imply that Jessica's alive? I hate to think that TTA would just make a lie like that, especially since it was so hard to decode. Also, in general, her being done with would be disappointing. I just feel like that character coming to an end like that is really anticlimactic and boring, so I'm definitely thinking she's going to make a return.

Also, out of all of the possible people to be Hoody, Jay is the least likely to be him. The only way that's possible is through some BS time travel explanation (which would make everything confusing and completely screwed up, so it's highly unlikely), or if there's a clone of Jay (which would just be silly). We see Jay and Hoody together in Entry #58, so it obviously can't be him otherwise. And of course, the other solid evidence of it not being Jay is Entry #68, where Alex says "where are Jay and Tim?!" Why would he say that if he was looking right at Jay?

Hoodie is still masked.

[ledzepfilm]

Wow, that was fantastic.

Alex is an asshole for blaming Jay for everything.

The way Oppy showed up was great. Flashbacks to season 2 everywhere!

If there's proof that Jessica's dead, it would certainly be Alex walking away from the camera on the ground with the gun.

Great entry, lived up to the hype, and yay, Jessica!

I haven't read all the posts yet, so might end up repeating something. Some people asked about when Entry #32 took place. It was uploaded in real time and according to the comprehensive timeline it was uploaded at about 9:15pm (Although in reality it would have taken hours to upload over a crappy motel internet connection, it probably took minutes in MH time.)

Did anyone else notice Alex had a phone in his trouser pocket, and Jessica seemed to focus on it at one point? Did anyone else see that? Or am I the only one looking at Alex's crotch?

When I get time (tonight, maybe) I'll timeline the entries with Jessica in them so that we can work out the exact chronology, since it is a little confusing right now.
