I never paid attention to its spelling (if we ever even saw it).

I think Hiram is a good possibility too. He likes to mastermind stuff and manipulate people. It would explain how he gets people to do so many things for him (although I guess money and threats can do that too). I like your idea about him losing control of Hermione. He's "lost" Hermione to Fred twice and has gotten her back both times. It could be a way to rope Veronica in...or maybe it's a way to rope Hermione in again. That the Warden died right before she saw him...I don't know, maybe it was a message or something? Maybe she killed Featherhead. I don't know. But I'm sure seeing someone else dead with blue lips in front of her would bring back some bad stuff no matter whether she killed him or not.

The Lodges and the Blossoms are the two families who seem to constantly fight to control the people in their families and their surroundings. If it's supposed to be a cross-generational thing, it could also be the Blossoms. There was no mention of Claudius at all in the flashbacks and - if he's real - that seems very odd. They haven't done anything with his character so far. I wonder if he's going to come into play. If his story is true and he was ostracized from his family when he was young, maybe he never left. Of course, Clifford wasn't involved, but maybe he was after Penelope.

Killing Archie though - that's a Hiram move. Or well, he's the most likely to want that. Who else would want to kill Archie? Is it because of something in Fred's past and someone is seeking revenge on him? Is it because Archie is a pain in their ass for some reason? Is it Hiram trying to send a message to Veronica? Is it significant that he's the only one who doesn't know anything about the game? Or is he still sort of seen as the glue between the North and South? I don't know. I feel like that makes it too obvious that it's Hiram - BUT I thought Hal was too obvious last time too.

I read a theory that the "Midnight Club" wasn't actually the target but the other group was since they found it out in the open in the library. It was just a chance that the Midnight Club found it.
