Nothing desperate about it, part II

Re-reading my previous post has prompted me to think like a detective - or someone who watches a lot of shows with mysteries and is continuously duped. Seriously, I never see those curveballs coming.

I need to re-watch, but I wonder how "revealing" the close-up of the band list was. As I mentioned, the camera showed a close-up with Dave and Mike's names, which makes us assume that the mysterious "he" that Dave is after really is Mike. I mean, the band list also had Tom, Orson and Carlos's names on it. Could this have been a well-placed set-up?

Plus, when Dave pulled Mike from the fire, he told him "I'm not done with you yet." This doesn't necessarily mean what we think it means. It's entirely possible that Dave plans on using Mike as a pawn as a way to get to someone else. Further, if Dave really wanted to get revenge on Mike, why would he risk his life to save him? If Dave wanted Mike to die anyway, I don't see why he wouldn't let him burn to death. His death would be ruled as accidental, which doesn't bring any suspicion to Dave. And he could still feel like he got his revenge, since he was the one who started the fire in the first place.

What if he's after Carlos, for instance? Carlos's name was on the list, like I mentioned, and out of all the men, Carlos is closest to Mike (or, at least, he used to be). If this theory holds true, it would explain why Dave would need Mike. Plus, I can't seem to recall Carlos and Dave interacting too much at all. Out of all the band members, I think Dave has interacted with him the least, which is a bit suspicious. I don't really know why he'd be after Carlos, though. Maybe it's something to do with Victor? Carlos is indirectly responsible for Victor's death, and Victor and Dave both have the same smarmy demeanor and determined attitude. Plus, Victor's family is incredibly wealthy, as Dave seems to be.

I'm kind of grasping at straws here. I don't put much faith in my "Dave is after someone other than Mike, perhaps Carlos?" theory. It just seems that the clues are too obvious and they've revealed so much already that Dave isn't after Mike after all.

Curse these addictive, mysterious shows! I literally stay awake at night, thinking about it. Perhaps I should get a life? Yeah, I should. But it's too much fun to give up completely!
