Okay, we HAVE to talk about the latest episode of 'The Serpent's Coil'! That plot twist at the end? I'm still reeling!
好吧，我们必须聊聊《蛇之盘绕》的最新一集！结局那个剧情反转？我到现在都还没缓过来！
Right?! I literally gasped. I thought for sure it was going to be David, but then BAM! It was Emily all along.
对吧？！我简直吓了一跳。我本来以为肯定是大卫，结果砰！一直以来都是艾米丽。
See, I had my suspicions about Emily. There were so many little clues earlier in the season if you rewatch it. But I didn't expect it to be revealed like that.
看吧，我早就怀疑艾米丽了。如果你重看这一季，早期有好多小线索。但我没想到会以这种方式揭露出来。
No way, I was totally blindsided. I was convinced it was the new character, Mark. They kept making him look so shady.
不可能，我完全被蒙蔽了。我一直以为是新角色马克。他们老是把他塑造成鬼鬼祟祟的样子。
But what does this mean for the next episode? Is she going to frame someone else, or is she finally exposed?
但这对于下一集意味着什么呢？她会陷害别人，还是她终于被揭露了？
My theory is she's going to try to pin it on David, since he's already under suspicion. It would be classic 'Serpent's Coil' to do that.
我的理论是她会试图栽赃给大卫，因为他已经受到怀疑了。那会是《蛇之盘绕》的经典套路。
I think she might go on the run. Like, she knows they're closing in, and she just disappears. That would be a good cliffhanger for the finale.
我觉得她可能会逃跑。就像，她知道他们快追上了，然后她就消失了。那会是一个很好的结局悬念。
Or even better, what if she's working with someone we haven't even considered yet? Like a bigger mastermind?
或者更好的是，如果她和我们甚至还没想到的某个人合作呢？就像一个更大的幕后主使？
Oh, that's a wild card! I hadn't thought of that. Now I'm even more excited for next week!
哦，那是个意想不到的变数！我没想过那个。现在我更期待下周了！
