There's more to this than I can post right now, but this is from my tumblr: Boyd dying was a pivotal point in Derek’s “Hero Journey,” but did he really have to die? What if Erica was still around (IE Gage didn’t leave)? Would it have been any different? I think so. We know that Jeff wanted Boyd and Erica to be in a relationship, and when you have an actor leave, there’s not much you can do, other than revamp the story. Would Erica still have died? Would Boyd still have died? I think the answers are both yes. Why? Because it fits the Hero’s Journey thing that he has going for Derek. Boyd would have still died by Derek, and Erica? Erica would’ve gone after Ethan and Aiden, which brings me to next point.

I think the scene with Cora instigating the fight with Aiden was originally meant for Erica. Why? Because we never saw any connections between Cora and Boyd except for the vault, and when Boyd died. Even then, when they showed images from the vault, it was all Erica and Boyd. While it fits within the realm of Cora’s character, it fits more with Erica because she was in love with Boyd (as far as we know).This would also explain the lack of information we have on how Cora got poisoned with mistletoe (and mountain ash maybe?). It would also suggest that there are missing scenes that explain this, because for the life of me I can’t figure out how she got mistletoe poisoning when all we saw was her get hit in the head with a weight (The only other explanation I buy is Peter did it, but Jennifer said she did it…).

It feels like we’re missing the in-between scenes and these events were lumped together for the sake of moving the story forward.

Maybe i’m just over-thinking this entire thing, and reading way into what Jeff originally had planned for Season 3A.
