Goddamnit Kantje. I know desperate times call for desperate measures but how the heck did you think a gas leak would ONLY burn the kitchen?? Like my guy, most if not ALL of your coworkers are gonna be in there during the Hemlocke’s lunch!

Probably gonna make a follow up post for the finale later but holy cow what an ending.

With the upcoming finale of Whitepine, I wanted to share my thoughts on the events of episode 10. More specifically on Mysty’s murderer and why I think that either conclusion on if the guy arrested for her death is actually guilty or not is actually very fitting for the series as a whole.

Now from episode 10 and the accompanying article form the Emberton Wire, we are told that this random guy killed Mysty just because “she deserved it” and that the guy had disappeared from his home for a bit before randomly turning up and confessing to the murder.

Taking this at face value, let’s assume in this instance that this is truly why Mysty died. It would be very devastating but very realistic the damage that can be inflicted by those who are unstable in a society that downplays or ignores the signs of mental illness and how tragedy can be inflicted upon the kindest and undeserving people simply for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Which given how Whitepine is almost a study in issues such as mental health awareness, sexism, and classism, it would make perfect sense if this is truly how Mysty’s story is supposed to conclude.

Now I do understand why some people were a bit disappointed when episode 10 first came out and saying that if this was the real ending of Mysty’s story then it was pointless or a bad ending, but I’m content if this is the ending that Ivorycello was aiming for.

As for the theory that the confessor ISNT the real murder of Mysty, I do think that the message of mental health awareness is still very prevalent to this theory.

In the Whitepine universe there are several factors why I do believe that the guy who confessed isn’t actually Mysty’s real killer and part of it is the timeline and some other scenes that I think support that.

Let’s start with the knife. Back in episode 8, while most the staff are away to Redhill, Clown and Ash are left behind and Clown has his PTSD episode in the attic with the “sword”. Now I say “sword” because it could actually be a knife as while Ivorycello did obviously add in some mods for Whitepine there wasn’t much added in the way of items. And it isn’t explicitly said to be a sword by Ash or Clown so it very well COULD be a knife. This coupled with the fact that Clown threw it into the woods afterwards (likely to prevent himself from either getting triggered or out of self-frustration for pulling it on Ash) gives the guy who claims to have murdered Mysty the weapon that the police take from him later (described as a hunting knife).

Now for the timeline itself, first episode is Mysty’s murder and the next episode is the following day. While I’m just doing this off the top of my head I do think in-universe at least a few weeks have gone by. Or at least enough time that Ivory is fairly used to working at Whitepine by the time episode 8 rolls around as there are mentions of the weather changing so let’s say that including the staff’s weeklong vacation in Redhill, about a month to a month-and-a-half has gone by since Mysty’s death (if anyone has an actual timeline plotted out let me know!).

What we learn in episode 10 from Rekrap is that some neighbors of the Hemlocke Family spotted someone running away from Whitepine’s “backyard” now putting aside the fact that I have no idea where these neighbors would have been able to see this without being in the Usherwood or on Whitepine’s grounds, it’s strange that this guy is spotted AFTER the Whitepine staff returns from their weeklong trip. So the guy has just been surviving outside since Mysty’s death?? Just after a weapon is within range? Seems unlikely.

Also while Rekrap says that the guy who confessed was covered in brown stains that MIGHT be dried blood, they don’t actually know and those stains could very easily have just been from wandering in the Usherwood. Alongside this, it makes no sense that the other strange things around Whitepine would be caused by this guy. First off how would he know were and when to destroy the boiler room without getting spotted by staff and while getting into the attic and leaving the door open is a bit more probable with the lack of staff why wouldn’t he attack Clown if he already attacked Mysty? Both of them would’ve been alone and if the guy was unstable enough to attack Mysty the way she was, I don’t think he would’ve hesitated to jump Clown too.

All of this, coupled with how people do confess to crimes they didn’t commit even when sound of mind, it would make sense if he just claimed to be Mysty’s killer for whatever reason and with the knife he probably picked up from Whitepine’s “backyard” it would make sense to believe him.

Either option would work for me as a completely understandable and solid way for the plot to either conclude or continue with Mysty’s murder. But I am curious to hear what yall think is more likely, especially with the finale coming up, I feel like there’s going to be some big revaluations and I’m excited for the Ivory and Ebony side to continue as well.
