What do we make of the lined about "her family's history catching" up with her? A reference to Corenthal I'm sure, but why would the residents of Jim Thorpe know anything about the happenings at Fairmount? Did Corenthal and Linnie end up in Jim Thorpe, and was there an event there?

Or it's a reference to the CP.

I'm still trying to decide if I think this is merely referential or if it is in fact a thing.
Bringing it back to base camp here, what can we assume from this situation? We've got that apparently Rake and/or HABIT had some reason to keep Rose out of the picture. Makes sense to guess because she had some information that may have been useful to the guys. OR, you could go to the old not so epileptic but still a tree for now theory that HABIT would want to murder anyone associated with Corenthal. Considering Corenthal helped the 70s Evan gain control of him (HABIT) and essentialy ruin all his fun so to speak. That could also be legit.
It seems the guys have indeed noticed the significance of this situation, but it's true Jessie may be in danger and they may not have noticed. Or conversely, they do realize it, which may have been a factor in Evan's clearly less-than-calm reaction. Not that you can blame him either way, but it was an interesting and distressing comment that Vinnie "didn't have to tell us anything" (obviously paraphrasing that)- I suppose only time will tell how serious he was about that comment. Also, HABIT's involvement in this could be a factor. Assuming HABIT is (at least primarily) Evan (which I think we all believe at this point), it doesn't matter really if HABIT controls the Rake, IS the Rake, or merely attacked Rose in an animalistic way himself, if Evan is beginning to get suspicious about any of his own possible involvement, well then there you go. I don't really think this is the case but it's definitely a possibility.

Evan's shown before that he isn't in lockstep with Vinnie and Jeff. HABIT or not, I think the escalation is getting to Evan and it's not that far of a logic leap for him to blame us for that.

We always knew there was a risk of that, though, Lui. All we can do is try to minimize that.

On a subconscious level, re: the hidden vids, I think Evan may have turned on us over that because some part of him, however unconscious, knows of that footage and knows that in it, he is unmasked as being possessed or some sort of turncoat. Not that I think Evan is consciously betraying the others, or working against them. I don't think he consciously means any harm.

I did email Jeff asking him to check on Maryann. I do think that anyone who can give the four direct information on the...original 4 is being wiped out and so I think she's in danger. The question this begs, though, is that if the gang did not just stumble upon SM and if there is something much bigger at work, whatever it is, how were they ever allowed to come into proximity with Jessie in the first place? That seems too coincidental to me.

I'm personally a fan of the idea that he's just being overprotective of Jessie 'cause she's his ex.

But that may just be the writer in me XD

I figured I'd throw my opinion in on this matter. Obviously, at least part of Evan's reason for doing that is because it's Jessie. I, personally, believe that's the only part. First, Evan has never had a history of protecting the Rake. If this was HABIT making him act like that, or whatever force it is that usually makes him act batshit insane, why would it choose this time to defend the Rake but not when Evan was trying to hunt the thing down with his bigass knife? Secondly, every single time that Evan has seemingly been under control of this other entity, his voice, or at least, his intonation, always sounds a bit different. It didn't here. It just sounded like pissed off Evan.
