It's not Eichorst, it's not Kelly, it's definitely not Zack.

Palmer?

Normally The Master wouldn't take such a weak infirm old body, but maybe he needed to. And he's grooming Zack to be his future host, as he was in the books.

Palmer can't be trusted anymore, and The Master needs his connections, his power.

So maybe. Except they'd have to do a flashback to show it happening. Palmer's last moments as a human.

Could always just be somebody we never met, I suppose. That'd be a bit disappointing. I assume we'll find out in the season finale.

If it is Palmer, they don't have to hire a new cast member, and the Master won't have to worry about a Palmer rebellion. I imagine Palmer's management skill may be lost.

Doesn't seem like it's anyone we know since pretty much everyone is accounted for.

Maybe The Master found Gus' mom wandering around somewhere? Maybe he's in the blind kid that they gave to Zach because he's got such an ridiculous fascination with that little sh*t.

Yeah.

Only Zack would want to play with something that stinks as much as the living dead, and would creep me out even if I was taking a *beep* after three days and could not hold the log in no matter what.

Maybe the new host body is arriving in the box from Egypt.
