Or maybe this is the right way to counterattack Alex, by going against his pattern...you know what studies say about serial killer or psychopathic tendencies..it follows pattern or routines so it needs to be broken in order to catch them. What really interesting about this plot and characters is the possibility of Clark, who never had any intentions of helping the authorities before, could end up being the hero's town of stopping killing spree
Maybe but serial killers like BTK & Golden State Killer only killed when they were triggered by stressors.
Some stressors caused them to change their patterns or get more violent.
It feels like this situation with Clark is about to cause a major trigger that causes him to change his pattern AND target.
I can tell he’s trying to set boundaries because once feelings are involved Alex will kill...but I feel like avoiding him is going to backfire and make things worse
