Ok, new theory. The tape has information on where Jessica is. She's had her memory wiped of all TO related events and was dumped back into society. Because of this TO has left her alone.

I like this theory.

As do I. Smile


This fits so well with Tim's personality ("I was doing fine, I was getting better!" "She was doing just fine until she met you!") It would make complete sense that he was trying to protect Jessica from going through what he went through when he got his memory back.
The more I think about it, the more I want this to happen, I just don't think it would sit well with the fans who demand action in every entry.


I don't think it would sit well with people because it ultimately says that the operator is only interested in certain people and anyone else he's just going to spare. That really weakens the malevolent notions of the main villain in the series as it makes him seem sympathetic in a way

I also don't think Tim would drive all the way to his house to hide that tape. Remember Rosswood town and College town are quite a long drive apart.


This and the point about the cam are both true, thanks for the imput. My theorys can still aply to the sd card or even without evedence. If Tim made a deal with TO he might now(again?) be playing a game with rules which he's not alolowed to tell Jay even if he acts with good intentions.


@Excercise: Heartbreaking for us
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
their oog friendship breaks and we never hear the end of the story. Hooray for friendship Wink


Most Heartbreaking I can think of:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They find and execute Alex in cold blood while possesed but are caugth on a cam hidden by him. Later they are captured by authority, declared insane send into another mental institute in solidary confinement and you can see TO haunting them in their small cells where there is no escape on a tape stolen and released by TTA

There are no typos. The original quote was talking about the operator just letting jessica go free into society.

Not true. We are more-or-less certain that Tim managed to re-integrate into society without TO stalking him already, and that didn't make it less scary.
It would also appear in #26 that Alex has escaped from TO, until Amy gets the camera out (although unconfirmed.)

It would make sense that Jessica could run away in a similar fashion.

Eliminating all threats so he can go back to his life of torturing children doesn't really make TO sympathetic.

There are no typos. The original quote was talking about the operator just letting jessica go free into society.


Then I whole-heartedly agree-- the Operator wouldn't show that kind of mercy.

I never said TO just let her go. Although I don't discount that as a possibility. She could have just as easily got away with someones help.

 		The effects of TO have been shown to seemingly weaken with Alex and Tim for a while though, until they got roped back into things. TO can't be killed, so the only way to overcome it is to live on without being involved any more. This doesn't make it weak, it just stops it from being completely impossible to "beat". Unfortunately for people, the others who it affects tend to be crazy and/or desperate for answers (and presumably evidence related to it can summon it again as well), so even after a victim seems to have found peace, it's very easy for them to get involved once more. If Jessica is living normally somewhere, it won't be for long. If it's not Jay or Tim, Hoodie or Alex will probably see to it.

And a little away from the main point but I think all this will come into the ending of the series. One or more characters will no longer have TO actively in their lives (although it will be implied it might come back) but will carry the emotional pain that the series put them through for the rest of their lives. In other words Tim performs a heroic sacrifice for them.

The fact that alex didn't know where jay and tim were, but the operator did, says to me that there's no "escaping" whatsoever. He can find you on his own wherever you are, no matter how far away you are

Of course he can find you. That's why the only way out is to get the TO to stop being interested in you. People are just assuming that TO is evil just for kicks and there is no plan. I don't think so. TO actions have a purpose.
When you cease to be part of that purpose he ignores you. That isn't mercy. That's a human concept that may have no meaning to TO. He simply does what is necessary to achieve his goals wither that's torturing people or ignoring them.

The Operator's an omniscient killing machine who can mindfuck anyone he wants. If he 'dumped her back into society' he probably left something with her that will trigger later and turn her into a proxy or do something... unethical.

 		When was it confirmed that the Operator kills people by itself?
