bwayrose7 - I absolutely agree with you, because I feel like it'll be some big cliche to do where he doesn't remember anything or what have you, but come opening night - Oh, Hit List? I wrote that! I think like you said, if anything, he's injured or out of commission for awhile, but if he was actually dead - his bio would reflect that in some manner.
My money is still on Jimmy dying before opening night or on stage at the Tonys, because I just feel like that'll happen or something. Killing off Kyle would be too random in a sense, when it's clear Jimmy is headed down a path to self destruction. Also, Carolee Carmello was giving me everything in this episode. "Do you want my autograph? I'm his mother!"
I also had to laugh when she mentioned 'all the people in line', and all I could think about was - yeah, longer line than at Scandalous.
