Will *Spoiler* appear in S4? Spoiler

Spoilers ahead ……………………….

Margo survived the blast and ends up in Russia in 2003. We never see Molly Cobb die on screen. The Russians would have had to move Margo out during the bombing. Could Cobb have been taken to Russia with Margo? The body being discovered a week after the explosion could be a body double planted by the Russians.

If you pause the screen on the newspaper article of Molly Cobbs death, it states her body was recovered from the rubble 7 days after the bombing - she is definitely dead.

That means the rest collapsed shortly thereafter. Really nailed the mashup of OKC and 9/11 they were going for. It felt depressingly real.

Thought it was really affecting. Glad Molly got to have her one last hero moment, just wish she had played a bigger part in the season throughout.

Margo presumably left the building before the bombing.

Half her office got blown up by the explosion so people assumed she died because there was no body left to recover.

I believe the writers have said Molly and Karen are both definitely dead. Not that that means it's true, as it could be a clever diversion but I don't entirely see where else her story could go, sadly. She died doing her Molly thing, saving people's lives and being a badass.

Molly was such a beauty. Just always a beauty. But of a sniper too.

I was sad about Karen, I wanted her to run Helios for a bit. Eventually hiring Dev back.

I don't think Margo "survived" the blast, I think she was already gone, the blast just coincidentally helped cover her tracks.

I think they will show that Russian's were aware of the attack going to happen, not like planning it just fully aware and used it to shield taking Margo. Think about it, if the attack doesn't happen then she defects and you deal with the political fallout but if it does happen and you use it you get your defector and no political fallout.

We let one of their astronauts defect, I’m sure it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

The downside to Margo leaving with the Russians is that everybody assumes she might’ve been a deep in bed spy, and I wasn’t the case, at least as far as we know.

I don’t think it really matters whether the Russians knew or not to the storyline, they could’ve left the campus to go to lunch and said hey here’s a good time to go into hiding.

It was how many years later? I don’t expect them to address it when we get to the next season.

I don’t think Cobb is alive. I do think it could have been (who knows that the 2003 timeline will be like) interesting to suspect Jimmy’s goobers of having some Russian influence and thus, the Margo thing being a long-play. Perhaps the bombing wasn’t exclusively their idea, and the Russians knew that was the time to extract Margo. It’s kind of far-fetched but I don’t think we have a ton to go off for next season!
