- Warren and Mary disappearing after forty minutes is called an overextended red herring; one should have returned during the climax.
- Peeking over the fence and cutting wrists is called unnecessary because the ungated lawns can be walked around.
- Norman is mocked for dumping Madison’s belongings directly beside his own dock despite having a boat.
- The locations and disposal method for Madison’s body, car, and jewelry box are questioned, including whether the car was backed into a boat entrance and why the evidence spans the dock and bridge area.
- Caitlyn is criticized for never checking on her parents over the apparent weeks after starting college.
- Madison repeatedly typing only her initials is called inefficient when she could name herself or accuse Norman directly.
- Cooper’s disappearance during the final forty minutes is questioned because the dog might have interrupted the attack.
- Norman’s use of a potentially traceable laboratory paralytic is called another sign of sloppy murder planning.
- Claire’s partly paralyzed foot pulling the cord and using the shower head to turn the hot-water knob is judged physically implausible.
- One participant concludes that Claire should have drowned.
