Is Walker Really Todd?!?!?!
We have all seen the clues lately that point to Walker actually being Todd but today it is made perfectly clear. Making his first stop at Llanfair to see Jessica, he tells her that he will not let her go to jail for murdering Mitch. He reassures her after promising to tell Bo everything he wants to hear about that night at the docks and again swears that neither of them will stand trial. A very clever Walker then heads for the police station and confesses to Bo that HE was the one who killed Mitch with a second fatal blow to the head. This leaves Bo with no choice than to deadlock the case due to two confessions that will most likely be thrown out in court and lack of (stolen) evidence. Since Walker had Mitch’s body cremated immediately after his death Bo admits that they will never really know what happened to him and lets Walker leave. Last stop for Walker is his penthouse where he is seen clutching a picture of none other than Blair, Starr and Jack. Walker remembers visiting Mitch in jail after being arrested and being accused by him of “not being who he says he is!!” Walker then pulls out a briefcase full of money and thinks back to the night on the docks and eerily whispers…”I told you I would come back Mitch, and I told you I’d kill you and get away with it… and I did”. We are left with Walker standing at the foot of his steps gazing out the window with a look of satisfaction on his face as he embraces the Lord legacy ring!!!
