I think the idea that Lottie gives up being Lottie horrible! I hope it won’t happen! But I also don’t think it is Beate’s original plan. I’m just afraid they will make peace and decide to switch as a win-win. I really hope they won’t and I am genuinely worried about Lottie. Which is something I think I’ve never been before for a comic book character.
If they decide to switch, Lottie could easily work around Beate’s crimes, tho. They Myamoto murder is unsolved and was never connected to Beate, there is no official record of Beate trying to kill Claire (or, for that matter, Glenn and Dean, our suspiciously quiet wild card), and if Lottie takes her place, Claire will not press the matter I suppose… it would be possible for them to do it. But it would be a horrible idea.
