I feel like the death will be a cop out and will be Steven. Liz Gilles and Michael Michele both have made comments this season to stop asking about Steven because he isn’t coming back. It’ll solve their problem of fans asking for him and technically he is a major character.
 

I doubt it’ll be Liam because he’s Fallon’s love interest and although it *should* be Kirby, they seem determined to hang onto that boring character.

I wouldn't mind if it were Steven, I think it would further alienate Liam and Fallon if Liam was unable to attend the funeral because of his investigation.  But, it wouldn't move the rest of the story forward, except if it was a set up for recasting the role, like in the original series. 

Although, it does raise speculation about cause of the original actor being fired if current cast doesn't want to discuss the issue or at least mollify fans by saying they wished he would return as well...

I think the writing is on the wall for Adam to become obsessed with Cristol after helping her being cured from the tumor.  So, my current bet is on either Blake or Culhane, but the main issue will be that Liam is unable to attend the service, Fallon has an affair, and then Liam returns proofing his father's innocence.  If that lady playing the senator's assistance was a bigger name I would say that she was the key to the investigation, but given the show's penchant for solving things off screen, I think Liam will do fine on his own.

Did any other Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fans think Fallon looked exactly like Whitney Rose in her undercover wig?

We have multiple candidates for death.  Liam was kidnapped, and Fallon doesn't know where he is.  Blake is going back to flying after being a failed pilot once before.  Cristol's convenient brain tumor that doesn't effect her speech, attention, logic is causing her to randomly pass out.  Culhane is being threatened by the mob.  And Kirby is a coke addict after a single hit.  So, anyone could be in the casket.

This was definitely their mid-season finale... and I genuinely am beginning to believe no one on the main cast is actually being killed off.

Spoiler

The entire cast was on-set the final days of shooting... unless they're shooting flashbacks, etc.

 

Well, in a few hours we find out...

Where we going right now...?

A shock... and it should have been so apparent. It ALL makes sense now.

It was obvious when you look at all the clues.

 

Although are we getting a Jeff in Space spin-off?

A few minutes into the episode it hit me who would be in that coffin. I really liked the actor, but they didn't seem to know what to do with the character as of late.

It was obvious considering they moved Culhane into being Sam's sidekick, he made up with Alexis and yeah, there just wasn't much for him to do except to keep cleaning up their messes. I also assume Alan Dale might've wanted to leave due to co-vid (I guess this would've been shot in february or around there). I guess if Steven ever comes back they can just pretend that paternity reveal ever happened lol.

 

Still not this actor's most iconic death.

It was obvious, looking back, but watching in-time they definitely gave us some great "what if" moments. And, I'm shocked, because Alan Dale was in the group photo celebrating the conclusion of the season.

Did anyone else catch all of the Wizard of Oz references?  Fallon was was wearing a blue gingham dress, they showed just Kirby's shoes sticking out,  Jeff offered Alexis an emerald necklace, and they followed the golden clip to find Liam.  Also, Cristol needed a new brain, Leo the contractor caused Culhane to need courage, and something about Adam and a heart  I know they already did a Wizard of Oz themed episode, but the imagery was really interesting. 

 

Love the reference to The Colbys in Space from the OG series when Fallon was captured by the aliens.  BTW, except on soaps, do people still consult huge printed blueprints?  Wouldn't it more likely be digital?  Less cinematic I guess.

That's interesting! I didn't even catch the Oz-references to be honest, but when I look at it I guess the emerald necklace is pretty blatant.

 

LOL, I never thought about the Jeff in Space plot potentially leading to Fallon being taken away in a space ship. Hell, maybe that's the season cliffhanger? Fallon somehow ends up inside the shuttle and goes into space for a bit lol.

I totally missed the part about what happened to Liam's kidnappers after they escaped.  May I ask anyone to fill me in on the details?

They were arrested by the police who arrived just after the computer went boom.
