[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 202363, member: 27"] In another thread I said that if Cristal had genuinely tried to drown Alexis in the lily pond--only to pull back--it would have given her a taste of the murderous rage Blake had felt when he killed Mack, and thus allowed her to understand him better and not be so quick to judge him. I think that Beto (or one of the Flores family goons-for-hire) actually killed Mark, and his death was the intention all along; C2's being dragged by the horse and losing her baby was unintentional. Yes, Alexis firing her gun at the same time is a huge coincidence, but that's what soaps do best. If Beto did the deed, then he naturally feels terrible for what happened to his sister, but rather than set her straight about the events of that day, he'd likely just agree to bump Alexis off and keep the secret forever. Beto would be doing the same thing for C3 that Mack was going to do for Blake. Blake stopped Mack from killing Mark (called off the hit), but would C3 call off her hit on Alexis, even after she figures out Beto was the real shooter? Would Beto even agree to stop it, once it looks like Alexis might recall some of the events that day? In the end, this whole thing screams "parallel stories", with Beto doing C3's dirty work just as Blake had Mack doing his, and the writers patting themselves on the back for writing stories that prove those two are meant for one another.
