So characters like Victoria Argent, William Barrow, Matt and Mr Harris are all dead - I know people are saying that Harris' body was never found but we saw him tied to a tree begging for his life. The Darach needed to sacrifice three 'warriors' so I don't think she would hesitate to kill him.

There are characters in Beacon Hills who don't know about the supernatural like Liam's step-dad or Agent McCall, besides I don't think either of them would want to kill their sons (or step-sons) and most of their friends. Deputy Haigh I don't think knows anything either - he's just a jackass. Personally, I would love it to be Greenburg but I think that's unlikely - but who knows... perhaps it's revenge for being held back... again.

Since Danny knows about the supernatural it could possibly be him but I'd say that Danny is just too nice and besides, to quote Stiles, 'everyone loves Danny'. He could possibly be forced to work for the Benefactor since he is tech savvy and smart - the cast did hint that Danny would be making a return to the series.

People have been guessing Mr Tate, but I don't know how he would've found out about the supernatural - let alone Mahlia not being is daughter. When we saw him in season 3 it was quite obvious that he knew nothing about the supernatural.

Chris Argent has been helping Scott and the other characters for several seasons now, I don't see why he'd suddenly decide want to kill them. He is also a hunter, so he knows how to track and kill the supernatural - I don't know why he would have to pay assassins to kill everyone on the dead pool. The same goes for the Calaveras or another unknown hunter - they already know how to kill supernatural creatures, why spend $170 million on it?

Which brings me to my next point. Why would Peter steal his own money, pay assissins to kill off every other supernatural in the town and then continue to try desperately to get his money back? Peter wants power - to do that he has to become an alpha (and Scott is the only one around at the moment) and then he would need to people to control - it's a little hard to control people when they're all dead. Why Peter isn't on the list, I have a theory. Peter was already killed in season 1 and has laid low in the other seasons, never really playing a major role in any of the plans. The Benefactor could just assume he was dead.

Next is Gerad. He was a bad guy in season 2 and played a small part in season 3, but didn't really have much to do with anything - just gave a few answers here and there. He's run his course on the show I think. And I doubt that he would miraculously heal after he had that much Mountain Ash before being bitten.

People suspect Deaton and Morell but they help the characters so much that I doubt that they would suddenly try to kill them. If they wanted all the supernatural characters dead then why didn't they just let them die - they had plenty of opportunities.

Cora Hale doesn't sound right either. I doubt she would try to kill her brother and his pack. Especially since they helped save her life.

Deucalion payed to save Derek - I don't know why he would then pay to have him killed. Like Gerad, he was a bad guy from another season. He went on his way and I think that was the end of him.

And finally Braedon. If she got her hands on $170 million, I doubt she would use that that money to pay other people to kill. She doesn't seem to particularly care when it comes to killing people herself and she's certainly not afraid to get her hands dirty.

Considering everything I've said, I have two guesses. The first is someone we haven't met yet, however I'd say this is the less likely of the two. Mainly because this is Teen Wolf and we always know the character before we find out they're evil (ie Peter, Jackson/Matt, Jennifer, Nogitsune/Stiles) and it would also really suck if it was just this random guy called Bob who wanted to kill everyone.

So my final guess is Brunski. People have been saying it couldn't be him since he seemed genuinely sad when Meredith died - but just think, the dead pool is just a list of supernatural creatures, who said that the Benefactor edited it to keep people he likes off the list? Meredith also said that she had talked to the Benefactor and that he didn't want her to tell them the third key. Could this be because he wanted to protect Meredith? Meredith hung herself after the final third of the list was revealed, she could easily have killed herself because her name was on the list. It is also a possibility that Brunski knows about the supernatural because he works in a mental institute - I highly doubt that Meredith and Mahlia are the only supernatural creatures to go through Eichen House.

I have no idea if this makes any sense to anyone else but it makes sense to me. I guess we'll find out next episode - I can't wait!!!

Presumed dead characters on this show have a huge penchant for not actually being dead, or coming back to life somehow. Examples: Peter, Kate, Jennifer, and Derek (repeatedly)

Your 'they don't know about the supernatural' is invalid also. We didn't know Jennifer had any connection/knowledge before the season started, but she turned out the be the bad guy. Well, one of them. Now, I personally don't believe it was Liam's dad or McCall for similar reasons as you, but Haight we know nothing about. he could just be an ass, or he could be more important.

Mr. Tate, again we don't know enough about. But Malia seemed pretty honest in Eichen House, and she said the reason she was there was because of the story she was telling people. We don't know if she was put there by officials who thought she was loony, or Mr. Tate. he might've believed her, or came to believe her at a later time. And something to note, he might have always known that Malia wasn't his biologically.

Gerard made specific comments about getting back at the supernatural before being shipped off to the extended care facility, they deliberately left his story line open. i agree with you that Jennifer, and Deucalion's story lines have been closed... but there was still an opening left for Gerard.

I hadn't seen anyone suspecting Cora,but yea, that one is pretty dumb. Her actress left for another show, which is still running, and i think we would've gotten some word if she was coming back.

I don't think Deaton or Morrell are villains this season, but just because theyve helped in the past when it benefited them doesn't mean they wont 'turn bad' when it will be beneficial to them. Deaton has always been less helpful than he could be.

100% agree on Braedan. She is more likely to get close to someone to try to kill them and get her hands on some of that money than to be the mastermind behind it.

As for Brunski, that was me saying what you mentioned. The dead pool isn't just a list of supernatural creatures, its a list of supernatural creatures assigned a value for their confirmed death. Now, we don't know the Benefactor's motives yet, but most people don't put kids they like on hit lists. as for Meredith 'killing herself' I'm still not convinced she did kill herself. i think its a possibility that an assassin got to her. but regardless of all of that, Meredith had lost her mind, she heard phones ring, and talked to dead people. in fact, if you will remember, she said her dad told her the phone number that led Lydia to the Aiden key code. Things she says can only be taken with a grain of salt.
