Question: Before enttry 37, is there a possibility he found the tape "56 - 42" and planned to upload it, but it was stolen during his sllee p? I know he said all the tapes were there when he got back, but it's certainly possible one was taken and he wouldn't notice.

Seems plausible it could have been stolen during that time. If memory serves, he didn't even have time to grab all of the tapes initially, and just grabbed a quick armful while flashlight bashing TimMasky's mask in.

Wonder just what ended up getting left behind?

One of the tapes that gets left behind is random footage in b/w telling some fag named Noah to meet him at a boardwalk. Also, Jay finds a long, emo wig and steals Alex's glasses.

Jackofnotrades-

Having just recently rewatched all of season two, I can tell you that he did say that he managed to grab all of the tapes and the harddrive out of the safe. There weren't any left behind...

IN THAT SAFE.

My pet theory is that he got the 56-42 tape, and it was super awesome (to us anyway) and he gave it to Jessica (maybe with some others) to put in her safe. Unfortunately, getting mindwiped erased the code to her safe (possibly the last four digits of his phone number?) so the tapes, including 56-42 are still back at the hotel.

So, two entries.

The first, he goes back to the hotel, chasing maskies and dodging slendies to Jessica's room, puts his number in the safe and finds the 56-42 tape.

The second, the season finale, is the 56-42 tape which has some super awesome action ending with (and this is just my opinion) Alex getting decommissioned by a Masky, either a broken leg or a broken skull, take your pick. Slendy shows up to save him, but in the moments before he does, he gives Jay the chest cam. Jay darts off, hides out in a hotel with Jessica, and the last thing on the tape is Slendy showing up reaching out a hand and mindwiping him, a la the Silents.

That's just my pet theory though, and, as usual, I'm 97% sure there's a 78% percent chance that I'm 100% wrong.

Thanks for a more accurate memory. Still, why is everyone so certain that Jessica's safe will still be untouched ~9 months later? I agree that the whole combination/tape thing seems plausible, but it would really have to establish the hotel as being some kind of other dimension to not have any other guestsover that timeframe... or else they just have bed bugs or something and masky plopped j&j there because, well, screw'em.

Ummmm.... No. Jay cannot even muster up half the badassery required to be the Observer.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Alex, however...

Not everyone does. Wink I've always found that theory a bit far-fetched. It only works if there's a Hotel California thing happening and the hotel is in another dimension. Unless I'm missing something (and anyone, feel free to correct me if so), the only evidence that may support the Hotel California theory is the hotel's emptiness, Masky's sudden appearance, and J&J waking up there. The latter is easily explained by memory loss. We've seen people teleport around otherwise normal locations (Alex's/Brian's house and Jay's apartment twice), so that explains Masky. And [META] if the hotel's emptiness was meant to be a big flag, why would the creators specifically mention staff?Wouldn't a totally empty hotel do the job a bit better?[/META]

Even ignoring all that, there are still problems with Jay going back to check Jess's safe. If the hotel is in our world and the safe is still untouched, would Jay really risk going back now that he knows Masky can get in and out--and apparently, make people vanish--so easily? If it's in another dimension, would he even be able to get back on his own?

I tend to think we've seen the last of the hotel. If I'm wrong and we haven't, we'd still need some more plot progression before Jay returns.

Actually guys, is it possible that 52-46 tape is one that we've already seen? Is there anything in existing entries that could be what was hidden in Alex's desk? I admit that, for dramatic reasons, this seems very unlikely, but it may be worth discussing since it is technically possible.

What if 29 was actually part of that tape, and it was Alex with both cameras?

Edit:
Meaning that 29 came from the chest cam, but 52-46 will be from the handheld cam.

We probably will not find out what is on the said tape next video. Note I think we course will not know but people have been wrong. I wonder if possible we could find out where Jessica ran. I have no idea when or if we find the answer to where Amy has been there. Plus the whole yelling stop running is funny I mean would anyone stop running there. Could Tims leg healed or be cured just random theories for his running there.

Many days later and I finally find the time to add my input... *sigh* Well, since the thread is dead I might as well just rant. I'll go bit by bit through the video...

1. We see Jay with a knife so obviously he is less of a dumb ass than usual and he also thinks that Alex may be up to something and he feels he needs to protect himself
2. I haven't seen anyone mention this so I guess I'll he the first. Does anyone find significance in the fact that Jess doesn't answer her phone? Maybe Troy made it a point to have Jay leave a message cuz Jessica may have gone missing recently and Jay hasn't realized it? Just a thought.
3. Alex deliberately leaves his camera gear in his car so whatever he plans on doing is either something he doesn't want on film or something unimportant. It could also signify that Alex has stopped filming himself after Bruce cuz he knows things are getting out of hand and he doesn't want to have his actions recorded.
4. When Alex asks Jay how Jess is he might be insinuating that he has done something with her. Hence her not answering her phone.
5. IMO, Alex intentionally told Jay that the key led to his apartment cuz he wanted Jay to find that tape. What the tape contains tho is a mystery to me. It could be many things that have already been mentioned.

Just had this crazy idea. So Alex brought Jay into the woods to make sure us was away from Jess while the Operator snatches her up. Then Alex tells Jay to bring her with next time but then Jay will realize that she's gone missing and he will confront Alex. Alex will tell Jay to meet him at Rosswood again at the tunnel and then Alex will be there and The Operator will be right there too but in some other dimension or just creeping around and they'll have Jess hostage. They plan on rock smashing them both but then the league of Maskiss shows up to save the day. They can't kill them with the commotion and the Operator decides that he needs to wipe their minds and transport them to the hotel cus they now know of his and Alex's plan so if they get away they'll try and stop them.

This is soooooo out there but it's my sad attempt at keeping the thread alive.

That's an interesting point about Jess not answering her phone. I'm kind of surprised no one has brought it up yet. I'm hesitant to say it's a red flag or foreshadowing, just because there could be several OOG explanations. 

OOG/META:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Since the actress who plays Jess hasn't been as available as the main cast, maybe they couldn't get a phone call recorded. Troy said they had some big scheduling issues while shooting #50, with only the three people shown. If the phone call was a relatively late addition, maybe they just didn't have time to get her voice in there. At this point,  it'd be pretty out-of-character for Jay to talk to her without putting it on speakerphone. Talk about causing a shit-storm of spec!  

Also, it's pretty subtle to be a red flag. I realize how dumb that sounds on the surface--this is MH after all. But because there are several OOG explanations, I feel like it would have been highlighted a bit more if it was done for IG reasons. I mean, it would've been easy to have Jay indicate that he's left several messages, ie "still" trying to get ahold of her or something.


But that's just my two cents. The hostage thing sounds a little far-fetched, but you acknowledged that yourself. Almost anything's possible at this point.

Well even beyond that, I've noticed that the only character that seems to answer their phone with any regularity is Jay. Alex's phone seems to be set to "TERMINALLY IGNORE EVERYONE", and even Amy's phone went to voice mail. And we're assuming there's nothing wrong with Amy because, otherwise, why would Alex call her, when he's alone, to tell her to disregard his call about Jessica? It actually seemed fairly normal to me, considering how often we see those calls get forwarded to voicemails. :/

Are you talking about #44? Because that was the opposite--Alex called Jessica to say he'd spoken to Amy, which, based upon what info we have from Alex's footage, was a lie. Unless I'm forgetting something, no one has called Amy's phone.
