Sofia Falcone's tour de force in this past Sunday's The Penguin is all anyone can talk about, including a potential Emmy nomination for Cristin Milioti. From the shock and horror of Arkham to her delicious, carbon monoxide-based revenge, it was an incredible episode.

However, it seems like it's at least possible that something was missed in all the chaos. We know that Carmine is evil for sending his daughter to Arkham for a decade for maybe, possibly talking to the press. But was he evil enough to strangle nearly a dozen women and make it look like suicide? A terrible parent, a mob boss and a serial killer?

This theory did not come up in my mind until I read a thread from Richard Ocelot who explains what may have actually happened here. Now I can't get it out of my head.

The idea here is that it was Alberto, not Carmine, who was the real Hangman. The theory is the following.

I think this theory holds a lot of weight. It seemed really strange to me that as cold and calculating as Carmine was, going around slaughtering prostitutes did not really fit with his persona. But Alberto? If he saw his father killing his mother growing up? How he acted as an adult? Yes, I can very much see that, and all of this panning out. But we have five more episodes to go, of course, and we'll have to wait and see.
