There are a lot of explanations needed for it to fit though. E.g. Why would she refer to the Benefactor as 'he' if she didn't need to? She could have simply shook her head repeatedly when asked and refused to answer...after all it's not like she needed to throw them off of her since they were never suspecting her to begin with.

Meredith would need some sort of powers we hadn't seen from a Banshee so far in order to 'control' Brunski.

For that matter why wouldn't Brunski help her find "release" as he has Lorraine and many others before? Meredith clearly suffered from her gift so isn't that exactly up Brunski's alley?

Meredith only admitted to making a list, she never states that she is the Benefactor. Idk...just too many questions raised IF she really is the Benefactor. Then again if Mtv says she is...I suppose she is. Even if it doesn't make sense...kind of like how they manage timelines. lol.

You know I'm right there with you on the idea that Meredith being the Benefactor makes NO sense (at this point), but that being said, I have to agree with what Paul.Rea said (and I said in the Benefactor thread): MTV said specifically that the Benefactor would be revealed in this episode, and they put the hashtag #Benefactor when Meredith said it was her list. She IS the Benefactor whether I like it or not.

She could be controlled by someone else or working with someone else, but that doesn't change the fact that she IS the Benefactor.

I agree with all of your points as being potential plot holes  except 1: Her calling the Benefactor a "he" and saying "he told me not to help." I think meredith actually IS BATSHIT CRAZY. I don't think she was pretending. Bigger evidence of this is the fact that she put HER OWN NAME on the Deadpool. The assassins didn't know who she was, so she could have got herself killed. Why? Because she's crazy.
