[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 155278, member: 27"] She's pretty much convinced she did it. She had no knowledge at the time that Blake had hired Mack to 'scare Mark out of town', and still doesn't know about Cristal's family possibly (now probably) ordering the hit. When the episode picked up she was literally hiding in the bushes and apparently had been for hours (it was dark), and she would not have been doing that if she wasn't convinced she shot Mark by accident. But of course she was also half-drunk and not thinking clearly. Once she got her bearings she went straight into CYA mode and along came Mack. No one had accused her of anything (or asked for an alibi) so it's not like she shifted blame from herself to him--she just framed him with one convenient lie that Blake foolishly believed. I agree that she likely did not shoot Mark, and simple ballistics testing will likely reveal that the bullet did not come from the type of gun Alexis had. Of course she might not stick around to learn this. And now Blake's hasty actions will leave the police without a suspect to pin this on, so the heat will not be off Alexis (or any of them) after all. The cops will still need to investigate, and they'll be nosing around asking uncomfortable questions. This might be the impetus for Alexis to take off for parts unknown. [/QUOTE]
