! She falls off a building, they see her body, that entire sequence is established from season 1.!< However, she seems like the perfect character for a Moriarty.First of all, let's look at Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes. A spider at the centre of a web who never is directly tied to any of the crime. He was intimately tied to Sherlock, his foil, the other side of the coin. He was smart and not afraid of breaking rules/existing within his own system. He went over the falls in Reichenbach with Sherlock (died from falling...). He loved being noticed and arguably saw Sherlock solving the mystery of his web as a game they played together.Who fits that? Howard could be seen as manipulative, he's introduced by crying loudly at a key moment (first episode during the memorial for Tim Kono). But to me, Zoe seems to fit it far better (if only she wasn't dead!). If we watch the footage of the Hardy boys, Zoe convinced Oscar to copy his dad's keys and got the other Hardy Boys to break into apartments with her - establishing that she is able and willing to manipulate others into going along with her crimes. Mabel says that she sometimes went too far. She's smart, magnetic (Theo is instantly drawn to her, and the Hardy Boys sort of revolve around her even though she didn't found them). She also loves attention and getting away with things in plain sight - see the look in her eyes when she wears the green ring in front of Theo in that elevator. She has a connection to Mabel with their history.Zoe's access to the building is also interesting to me. Her family owned an entire floor (I can't remember if it's mentioned that they moved out after she died but am rewatching to double check). She was a child in that building (I think), so likely knew about all of the secret tunnels etc.Could she have faked her death? It seems like Theo didn't push her as much as she pushed off of him. I wonder if there was a way to do it. In the first episode, there are these scenes showing a yoyo effect (oliver falling off and trampolining back up to his son's staircase, Mabel dropping and getting back the ring, Charles with his egg pan i think - all backed by Claire de Lune). It's thin, but I wonder if that is a hint to her not really meeting her end at the bottom of that building.

I can't stop thinking about who Moriarty might be. I think season 5 will be focused around the trio trying to unpick the Moriarty plotholes (especially because of the reveal of the cameras and the intensity of the stalking with the "I'm watching you" texts). Moriarty would probably have to be someone who is intimately connected to the Arconia, and who had some kind of presence in S1. You could make a case for Howard (who is imo the secondary suspect), Uma, Ursula or Lester.I know this seems really wacky and out there, but.... what if Zoe isn't dead? You'd think that if she was alive, they would have given us some reason to be suspicious of her death, but it seems pretty cut and dry, right?>!
