Where did we find he's tracking him from?
About Stella
She talks about Rachel and Jefferson in episode one and says she has a very reliable source.
She is on Franks list buying lots of drugs and three days before Kate was dosed. Stella is also in the photo with Kate and Alyssa and max notes that she didn't know they were friends.
She was hired personally by Jefferson because he knows she doesn't have a lot of money but she is spending tons of money on drugs
I still need to cross reference the drug purchases to see if they match up with any other people being at the same location at the same time.

Episode 4 finally done, I can finally visit this thread!
I look forward to reading back through and checking out theories.

So he's tracking 4 people via the puzzle, Chloe, Jefferson, Nathan. Do we know who the 4th is yet?

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
how do you know there's a 4th? I only see 3 pics in that post.
Hm, I'll go take a look back.
Also, what does TPFTHLK mean. SXFTNDR gives Six Feet Under and TWNPKS gives Twin Peaks.
top of the lake, it's a reference to a tv series
Ah that makes sense.
The other coordinates thing was TWLGHTZN (reference to Twilight Zone). There's also a picture of it, it's also a red pickup truck like Nathan's but it doesn't have that thing on the left side of the rear bumper.
Video.
There were 4 sets in the puzzle.

I looked back through the thread, so sorry if I missed it, so what happens if you implicate Mr Jefferson over Kate's actions at the end of Episode 2?
I chose that option before rewinding, so I know the Principal suspends Jefferson and says he can't take part in the Everyday Heroes contest, so that HAS to change things, right?

Which is the assumption I came to but then why would David track that truck? Did he mistake it for Nathan's at first and just kept the files?

Could be, Nathan only recently broke the tail light. The trucks are otherwise identical on Monday. I tried checking but the other red truck is empty when you look inside.
Where is it located?

Episode 1, parking lot scene.
Went through the vehicle whereabouts. We can probably assume long -123.919816 is their home. So they go to Blackwell every morning at around 9-10 AM but don't live there like a student would at the dorms. They spend most of their day at Blackwell around when the school day starts and then generally go home past 4 PM, so it's probably their job being there.
Part of me wants to think this is Samuel, I actually imagine David was deliberately following this person so they're probably related to everything somehow and we haven't been introduced to many adults at Blackwell who would cover all those bases. A pickup truck would make sense for a janitor to have. I also imagine the first listing of the 7th is a typo and that the entry is supposed to read '9:48 AM' instead of PM.

Max's classes start at 10 and end at 4, so it could just be a student with a boring life. So many students we're aware of we know already live on campus though and I'm not sure who's left in the overlap between everyone else and those that could still be connected to everything happening.
So of the Blackwell adults we have the principal, science lady, and Samuel. Samuel is one of the few characters left we don't know much about but has a direct connection to Rachel. He has what's likely a box of Rachel's stuff, he's talked to the police about her, and it's heavily implied he knows the exact nature of Max's power "Keep on prying Max, sounds like you have a lot of time on your hands."

Great Episode!
However, I have two major problems with it:
1. why aren't they taking anything from the bunker? They should at least take the folders or something. You need that proof! Just seemed really stupid.
And 2. Max is on board with killing nathan? Just one "we should go to the police" and that's it? All in? You should at least have the choice to call the police or they should give some reason why that isn't possible. I know they are teenagers, but still, they should be aware that they will go to jail if they just shoot a guy...

They mentioned a few times that the police have been bought out by the Prescotts. Not a perfect excuse but still

Chloe literally wants to kill Nathan, but I imagine Max is still just operating under wanting to stop him. They do 'clarify' earlier the episode in Chloe's room that the police were Nathan's 'personal security'. I mean he barely got a slap on the wrist or investigated for getting accused of having a gun of campus.
Yup. This episode I really realized how much control they had. Dealing with Kingpin here I guess.
i was shocked that stella gets drugs, she didn't seem like the type
Great speculation!
I don't think it's Principal Wells as seeing what's inside his office I doubt he'd drive a red pickup truck. It may be Miss Grant but I feel Samuel really is the one that makes the most sense.
It can't be David keeping track of his own whereabouts, can it? The location doesn't match that of Chloe's house so... I feel Samuel's the only one that makes sense. My conversations with him have always made me feel like he knows about our time powers, he knows about spirit animals, he knows about what we're doing/trying to do, knows about Rachel and I feel he'll play a big role in Episode 5, like the other cases of foreshadowing and details being laid out before us in Episode 4. Dontnod doesn't seem to want to throw something at us at random during an episode, they do have the red herrings but what does happen was linked to something that we'd seen previously. Samuel, the nosebleed, the stuff the homeless woman says, the letters between Rachel and Frank, the start of the game's vortex foresight/future going back to the past and the doe leading us to the lighthouse, I feel there's a lot of stuff that's been somewhat low-key until now that might actually have a foreshadowing role and might tell us about what will happen.
Nah, can't be himself, there'd be a lot of matching with Chloe then since they live in the same house. I'd say maybe he'd do it to track Joyce since he's just paranoid (do they share a car or each have their own?) but still, there'd be too much overlap with Chloe for it to be either.
True, however, murder is a different cup of tea. And he still got suspended from school for the gun. He is still not above the law. Police will just go soft on him if they have the chance, but they won't have that option in a murder case.
I just would have loved to see max fighting to stop chloe a little more. Trying to take her gun away or something. It would have been much more believable if there was a huge fight between max and chloe, then chloe locks max up, max powers wont work like in kates case. Then you could have done an escape the room puzzle and call the police to the barn while driving to the vortex party to look for chloe. Then hearing that she went to the junkyard and then pretty much have the same ending.
Nathan could have hidden all the evidence by then, the evidence you took would be taken away from you after you are drugged and you fixed all the plotholes basically

Assuming Nathan is the one suspended and not Max during the playthrough
Ton of variations in that scene, but the catalyst was more being involved with the Kate video than having the gun.
They are definitely going to turn David around from the "bad" side to our side. I think the beginning of the episode will go like this:
I don't know if Max will be dosed and photographed by Jefferson, and she will wake up the next morning in her dorm like Kate because I think she actually saw him and in the teaser she says "please, don't do this" so she seems pretty aware of what's going on and Jefferson is most likely going to kill her, so probably before that, Max somehow gets a hold of her picture with Warren and jumps into it, right after that, two options depending on our choices: the girls go to the hotel David's staying at (there was a reservation paper with even the room number next to the phone on Chloe's house) or to Chloe's house and they ask for tracking help. He'll track Nathan and their luring plan won't work, so Jefferson will be left waiting at the junkyard and the girls will confront Nathan. From there, it could go anywhere....
I feel like David will somehow end up earning Chloe's respect and they will become a family (maybe saving her life, hopefully not sacrificing himself in the process)
They have been building up his turnaround, giving us chances to side with him, he's definitely going to play a role in Ep.5, and they showed us a calmed down David during his scene before leaving to the hotel, so we may assume he will help us whether we jumped all over him or not, with just some dialogue changes.

i did that but i felt really bad
I agree that the plot-mandated photos are probably going to play a part, but wouldn't they still be restricted to moving within the scope of the photo like in episode 3?
Dang it, that's true.....then Max needs to find a way to change the outcome by doing something right there, could make for a cool branched dialogue segment like the one with Frank in which you need to convince Chloe to not get into the party, as she seems blinded by rage and probably won't listen to us even if we tell her she's gonna die.

Victoria didn't believe my warning, though I'm not sure what I could have done differently, though I did take a picture of her after I got the paint all over her in episode 1. Does anyone know if you can convince her to believe you at the party if you also dunked her ass and mocked her in episode 1? Feels like you should be able to but I'm not sure how.
Also is Chloe going to actually stay dead for reals??? That was such an anti-climactic death scene if so and also I'm not convinced this Jefferson twist isn't a total asspull, it didn't feel foreshadowed at all to me. Also the whole "dark tortured artist" thing, not a fan. Not sure I like where this is going =\

I'm not sure if there was a way for her to believe you if you mocked her. I didn't but also went "Nathan" instead of "Blame" or "Don't Blame", I went "You have talent" and I went "Why not" when asking if it's fate we aren't friends. I don't remember if there were also other choices.
Nobody knows if she's dead for reals but we speculate we'll be able to go back to the selfie they took together in the morning in Episode 3, or the selfie Warren took with us at the end of Episode 4.
Jefferson was actually foreshadowed quite a bit, it's not really an asspull. Consider these:
Also, he's apparently a great photographer teaching in a small town where we find there's a place called the "dark room" which immediately links to photography, and then when we find out it's a bunker and not actually a dark room, it's still very much linked to photography. The letter above is found on the computer in the dark room and at first is dismissed as being from Nathan's father. Looking back though, it doesn't exactly fit the way Mr. Prescott writes to his son, nor is it signed by him like the other letters are. It feels off and is one of the many hints. There's also the call Mr. Jefferson took in Episode 2 after harshly sending Kate away, there's the fact that we could blame him instead of Nathan or David when in the principal's office, there's the fact he was at the boy's dorm when we were looking for Nathan as he was at the party when we were doing the same, and there's the fact his car was one of the four tracked by David. He's got his spot in the scrapbook and seems to be an important character yet hadn't done much major so far. He wasn't so obvious that most guessed it, but there's still a few people that had their suspicions so it isn't a complete random thing.
Guys!

HOLY SHIT. That's pretty, pretty close. :O
Dear lord. NICE
Spot on
Burn the witch!
That's some nice theorizing right there. However, one thing I don't think is accurate is what she thinks about the origin of the storm. I personally don't see the death of all those girls without Max's time interference being what is required to stop the storm. They're likely tied together through the colors, but I just find it hard to see. It might be accurate in Chloe's case.
I thought the origin of the storm was the universe's final attempt to kill Chloe considering we've been preventing her death over and over. There may be a tie with the other girls but it seems like a stretch.
But the Prescotts building a bunker seems like they'd known it's coming for other reasons. The whales being on the beach, the two moons, the eclipse and the snowfall all play into the element that ties everything together.
Also, what do you all think of Nathan's whale songs on his MP3
