FlashForward Theory of the Week: A Baptism for Nicole
Matt Richenthal at .Warning: the following theory is not based on any FlashForward spoilers. It's ours and ours alone, for better or for worse...
Last night, viewers learned a couple things about the Benford's babysitter, Nicole:
- She got the job through her relationship with Aaron's (late?) daughter Tracy.
- In her future vision, she saw herself being drowned and felt as though it was a punishment of some sort.
Nicole assumes she has actually witnessed her own murder, but we disagree. Didn't the man seen "drowning" her look a lot like the priest with whom she consulted? And didn't that priest act very strangely when she asked him for assistance?
Our best guess: Nicole is in the middle of a baptism during her vision. The sin the priest is washing away? An affair with Mark Benford!
We're very confident about the baptism theory, and we're throwing out the possibility of Nicole sleeping with Mark because the two were affectionate last night. If Olivia's flash forward comes true and she leaves Mark for Lloyd, there's no telling how he'll react.
Are we crazy or are we on to something? Leave a comment. Let us know!
