‼️Attention Andrew Barth Feldman and HSMTMTS fans‼️

(🚨spoiler alert🚨)

Disney has just released a sneak peak for this upcoming episode of HSMTMTS! It shows Antoine, our favourite French exchange student, singing “A Change in Me” from Beauty and the Beast the musical as he performs the title role of Belle in the North High production. This plot twist was surprising but this is an exciting opportunity for both Antoine and Andrew! Make sure to watch the video!

Jeff-O’Ween is innocent

and there’s nothing you can say to convince us otherwise.

Imma assume y’all have watched the last Broadway Whodunit where Will Roland’s character Jeff O’Ween was accused of murdering Heinz Dubois (Alex Boniello) by the world class detective BATMAN.

The evidence against Jeff, as laid down by BATMAN, were as follows:

• The mileage on his brand-new Tesla, which added up to enough to cover the distance between his house and the cemetery and the mansion where it all took place.

• Said Tesla having a bowling alley in it full of bowling equipment, including his favourite bowling ball that matched the colouring of the mark on Heinz’s face.

• Text messages between Heinz and Ezra about Heinz smuggling money to the grave of Father Dread. (The mileages on Jeff’s Tesla covered the distance to the location of the grave).

• The money was stolen from Jeff’s brother Hal O’Ween in order for Jeff to keep funding his bowling venture since he made bad investments that caused him to lose his wealth.

• Heinz was threatening to expose the operation to Hal, as said by a note left on the bag of cash. This was by BATMAN as motive for Jeff to kill him to keep him quiet.

That’s the evidence against Jeff.

HOWEVER,

These points don’t necessarily point to Jeff and Jeff alone. Yes, he was stealing money from his brother and enlisting the help of Heinz in doing this, but given the overall context, myself and my friends who watched it all play out believe there is an arguably more plausible explanation.

I’m, of course, talking about Jeff’s wife, Elizabeth O’Ween-McKinley, and how she framed him for the murder of Heinz Dubois.

The reasons for her doing this is obvious - she hates him and makes no secret of it. 99% of the time, all she was doing was telling him how much she hated everything about him and everything he did was stupid or terrible. When they were alone together in the main room, the way she talked to him was just awful. Olivia Puckett was just a bit too good at playing the emotional browbeater. Conversely, Will was very good at playing the emotionally brow-beaten. Jeff was downright crushed at his wife’s hatred of him as he clearly still loved her.

Even when they weren't alone together, all she was doing was making false claims about bad things he did, both before and after the murder. It's pretty telling that she was constantly pinning the blame on him.

But let’s go back to the evidence. All the evidence that points to Jeff being the murderer could just as easily point to Elizabeth. The mileage on the Tesla and the money smuggling was him, but she had access to the same bowling supplies he did, including the ball that killed Heinz. If Elizabeth had found out about Jeff’s operations, she was presented with their perfect opportunity to be rid of him once and for all - to frame him for murder and inherit all his money, such as it was.

There's one more piece of evidence that implicates Elizabeth - the drawing found on the floor of Jeff’s Tesla showing a stick figure with a knife in its chest with ”FUCK JEFF” written on it. Presumably, that was drawn by Elizabeth. While we don't need that drawing to know that she hates his guts, it does tell us that she’s had murderous thoughts and fantasies before - enough to act on them?

But if Jeff was innocent, why didn't he try to defend himself when accused?

Simple.

He still loves her in spite of everything she's done to him. He played right into her hands and is willing to take the fall for her.

Just look at their faces at the end when BATMAN was laying out his conclusion. Jeff looked utterly devastated while Elizabeth didn't look surprised at all. Almost as if everything went exactly as she planned.

Conclusion: Elizabeth O’Ween-McKinley murdered Heinz Dubois with her husband’s bowling ball and simply let the circumstantial evidence lead BATMAN the detective to the perfectly wrong conclusion.

But hey, that's just a theory! A Broadway Whodunit Theory!
