So let's take a look at what we know -
- The mysterious "They", i.e. "Who are they?"
Hmmmmmm... Not TiKO. Probably the generous donors behind TiKO. All of them? Some of them? My wild guess would be Jonas' parents, because of the
Ti
KO Jonas
TKO connection - plus the fact that he most likely was homeschooled, so may have been a student of HSAO - but is that blurring the lines of canon/not canon too much? And aren't they supposed to be dead?
So what evidence do we have that points to who "They" are?
This question is most confusing and disconcerting to me. Why would the powerful and influential "They" concern themselves with a tiny little aggregate of homeschoolers and their devoted school marm? Seems like they would have bigger fish to fry?
Well, we know they locked Ms. Kelly in substandard accomodations, submitted her to considerable stress in which it appears water was involved, and she returned to us not quite herself. What's up with that? Daniel, at least, got Pizza, Ice Cream and Spin Art! Looks like "They" are pretty hard core. "They" make OpAphid look like a pussycat
What else have they done? It seems like we are looking for something pretty specific here.
My first thought on this was that Ms. Kelly is the "She" referred to in this question, however Theresa's comment suggesting it might be referring to Bree is giving me cause to rethink this. Possibly this question goes deeper than it appears on the surface.
I propose that we revisit the clues we've gathered thus far in the context of the framework provided by these questions. (Or has that already been done and I missed it?

)
