Who is Dr. Jekyll? *SPOILERS*

This thread is to discuss your thoughts and theories on just who this season's serial killer, dubbed "Dr. Jekyll" by Ray, might be. Since the spoiler label in in the thread title, spoiler tags will not be needed.

To start off...as seen in Episode 2, "Ghost Town", the killer so far has gift wrapped the insides of one victim without any signs of cutting into the body. Ray later makes the connection that the killer has taken the victim's bow tie as a souvenir while tying his intestines into a bow tie. Although this was done post mortem, Ray fears that the next victim might not be so lucky.

Discuss!

And thanks to NicksFriend for the thread idea!

 

It does seem like they're trying to make us think that. Unless Ray has a brother and his brother is actually going to be the killer. :lol:

 

I just thought of something. The killer has to have medical knowledge... and wasn't there something about there being a new assitant in the coroner's office? Maybe that person will turn out to be Jekyll.

 

I like this theory! It might provide some awesome character development for Doc and SuperDave. It would be better than Ray or a mysterious family member of Ray's. That would be too "Dexter" in my opinion.

 

Ray might be interesting, but unless he's leaving the show, I don't see it happening. But Ray couldn't do the bow thing when he tried, so wouldn't that put him out of the running unless he's got multiple personality disorder and isn't aware of the killer personality...

The brother thing would be kind of cheesy, but could work. Though we know it can't be Ray's father because most likely his father would be too old.

 

I don't think Ray would have MPD, but a split personality...yes. It's funny how he started calling the killer, Dr. Jekyll, since the story of Jekyll and Hyde concerns a man with a split personality. There was nothing yet to indicate that this killer might have a split personality, yet he made that leap.

I think that had to do with his father and him. I think his father did more than "fight in the Korean war" and get into bar fights later. And Ray wanting the kid last week to "Show me how much you're NOT like your father"...I think that's what he's trying to do now...prove that he's not like his father. But maybe he is.

And, since he only signed through this year, they very well might be looking to this as his send off. Time will tell.

 

I think it would be interesting for sure and something they've never really done before.

 

I honestly don't believe it's Ray. Even if this were the final season of the show, I don't think they would make a character who TPTB have been trying so hard to get us to like into a killer. Any future viewings of Seasons 9 and 10 would be jaded further.

If it is someone from the lab, like GNRF suggested, then it should be a rarely seen tech or coroner.

And I hope it's not another Miniature Killer. I enjoyed the MK cases, but disliked it when it got personal. I don't think every serial killer should target CSIs. Makes it less interesting. Millander was awesome, MK was okay, any more would be overkill. Which is why I liked the Dick and Jane Killer and the Bluepaint Killer, they were creepy but didn't go after any CSIs.

 

Ah...except it backfired and a lot of people simply don't like Ray and won't, whether it's because he's not Grissom or because he's taking over where our favorite characters should be. So to please us, perhaps they would make him a killer.

I agree on the Miniature Killer storyline. It was great until we got the...resolution? Didn't like that one bit. Contrived, in my opinion.
