That's who that was! I knew I recognised him and they focused on him too long for it to be nothing. But I would think he'd target Paul and Steph no? Although I suppose by targeting Paul he is indirectly putting Steph at risk too.Quote:

I think Stephs friend, not sure of his name, Jacka? can have something to do with it. Or Tom himself.Quote:

It was shown that Piper thinks that Brodie could have done it.
My first guess is Jacka, second Tom Quill.
Another suspisious thing is the money found in the fridge of room no 601.
It looks like Xanthe and Ben were in no 601 room when the explosion happened. Xanthe reserved the room pretending to be Tom's assistant. It seems that the money hidden in the fridge belong to Tom...
I'd be surprised if it was Julie!Quote:

Maybe he done it in the hopes Tyler would get the blame?
Plus, after Mark told Tyler about Josh dying, he looked quite guilty, I'm not saying Tyler done it, but maybe Brodie said or did something to Tyler off screen that makes him suss?
And with Jacka, he does seem like the kind of person who would get revenge more than just writing "DOG" on the motel and someone who doesn't really think things through before doing them!
I have no idea, clearly! haha It's all just speculation
I was wondering that too. I think Tom Quill because the money found is suspicious. Also I don't trust Ned- possible revenge for Brad and Terese.Quote:

Having just confessed to killing Tom Quill, Aaron clams up again, not wanting to drag Nate into his mess. But Nate desperately wants to help Aaron and convinces him to tell him what happened. Finally swayed, Aaron admits that just before the explosion, he encountered Tom in the underground car park of the hotel.
They got into an argument, Tom swung a punch, and in his defence, Aaron punched him back and knocked him out. Aaron believes that if he hadn’t have done this to Tom, he would have left the vicinity before the explosion took place. Now that he’s confessed to Nate, Aaron feels he needs to confess to Julie Quill as well, but Nate holds him back. For starters, Tom’s body has never been recovered, so until that happens, they should just keep quiet. But will Aaron heed Nate’s advice?

Lauren covers, for now, but is clearly uncomfortable about it.
I don't think whoever framed Paul is the one that caused the explosion. They wouldn't be so clear about it.
I'm putting a left field suggestion regarding who caused the explosion. Terese's brother.

Hmmm! Interesting! What would be his motive though?Quote:
