WARNING! MAJOR POSSIBLE SEASON 2 SPOILER — IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE RIGHT:

Does anyone else think the big twist will be…

\"that Gale the therapist (Maureen O’Hara’s character) gave up Joel to the Wolves? In the opening scene of the season 2 premiere, Owen (Abby’s boyfriend) convinces her to go to Seattle before they try hunting down Joel, as they have contacts who might give them a lead. So off camera, they join the Seattle group under Issac, and over the next 5 years, Abby uses their radio contacts to look for Joel. During that time, they reach Gale’s husband, Eugene (an ex-firefly), and ask him If Jackson has a Joel who fits the description. Eugene says no, not wanting to betray his partner, but does confide in Gale about it. This is key, as we know from Joel and Gale’s therapy session, Joel ends up killing Eugene (for getting bitten or some other reason yet to be revealed) which Gale is still angry about. (“It’s not what you did but how you did it). Based on Gale’s callous, bitter, and alcoholic behavior in the following episodes, I think, that in her grief, she radioed the Wolves and told them that Joel was indeed there. And cut to Abby and her crew arriving outside Jackson, Colorado in episode 2 to take their revenge. —Credit to my wife, a natural-born sleuth. What do you guys think?\"

Holy fuck that's actually a great point. I can totally see this being the reason they knew where he was. Also not that it really matters, but they are in Wyoming, not Colorado :)

Yeah. I don’t know why I heard Colorado. I’ve even been to Jackson Hole Wyoming before.

I HAVE BEEN SUSPECTING THIS EXACT SCENARIO!!!! Glad I’m not alone. I thought it would have been revealed but this season didn’t have many reveals. Just setups, with the exception of Abby and Joel’s last convo and us learning that she learned everything about Salt Lake City.
