I Almost Cried Cause It Makes Sense

cap theory...

So I have a theory about the captain’s demise…  

1. For other demises such as Thomas’, we were given clues to the culprit, eg, the mention of Lord Byron. I think there is something in Caps “the Germans are coming” and Haver’s reply “they won’t be here yet, sir”. The cap usually has an initially bumbling, but ultimately insightful grasp of a situation (think of his cunning in the hotel episode). His insight tends to be revealed at a later date. I think a German is already in Button House when the Havers ep. is set! 

2. It has been established that all of the ghosts were betrayed in some way, the cap is over and over again fixated on an “enemy insurgent” in various storylines. He often references “enemies” when a new person comes into the house, even if they seem innocent like Alison and Mike or the builders. He is suspicious. 

3. There was a mention from the writers that the caps demise is heavy, and that it was established all along. Meaning that whatever happened is probably embedded in the story, explaining his hostility to “insurgents” in Button House. They even changed their minds about cap doing the same for the wedding, meaning suspicion of new people in Button House is probably from trauma. My theory is the German spy was already in Button House. 

4. The writers mentioned that the ghosts psychologically stay the same in the afterlife. Caps “there is a war on” could relate to his guilt that he was not aware of the German in the house. This was common in ww2 propaganda at the time “loose lips sink ships” aka, don’t forget who’s there. 

5. The hastily put on uniform (back to front medals) suggests that he wanted to die in uniform (stick and all) and thus his answer to “what would you wear today”, was “this”. It was probably his dying wish. Perhaps the German in Button House was found out by the cap, and he was poisoned. Cap knew he was dying, discovered who it was, and as a last wish to the German insurgent was he wished to die in uniform (with dignity in service).

Thoughts???
