After seeing GigTu talk about how she was trying to get inside his head I was in bed last night thinking about this for at least an hour, trying to play out how that night might have gone. I agree he was probably not as smashed as you or I would be, having his substance abuse history. He was recently "freed" from supervision too, now he could return to his self destructive behavior. I've been trying to find that photo of the group taken that night too because in my memory of it, the female looks like FL. None of those people were known to Jessica - they were his friends. I think he was on a bender like you say, because it was the anniversary of something, or he was dealing with something specifically that night that she was hanging out with him. Doesn't she live with Jaxon? Could their relationship have been going downhill lately? He was out with a different friend that night if I understand it. Just thinking out loud here - I think Ky was getting obnoxious about how much he loves Jessica, if you've been around drunk and belligerent people you know how this goes, and Allyn said it was time for him to get going. Jessica gets him into the car and they leave, headed for his house. I can't imagine the hour or two spent at Allyn's was all that comfortable for Jessica, and they had just been asked to leave because he was acting out. So I don't think a friendly proposition to go cuddle somewhere was what came next. I see Ky getting her to stop somewhere so he can score drugs, or to take him somewhere he liked to hang out (like a park) to smoke a joint or something, because we see he likes to go "driving"around for fun. I think we can agree he was not up for going straight home to grandpas, so the path deviated somewhere just north of belton, probably NE to support GigTu's theory of being in the opposite direction from Blue River. While I also think he is serial and sociopathic, I also think he was triggered by rejection. In all of these cases.
