I'm number 9

And this also reveals something about Taub doesn’t it… “she’s not a nympho, she’s bi, which means she’s accustomed to partners who don’t need a treasure map. Shovel can be bought.”—he fears that he is replaceable, less because of his partner’s promiscuity but because of his own inadequacy…

superficially, kutner is the least likely character to kill himself. thirteen was kind of passively sucidal for almost the first half of season 5; taub, well, is heavily implied to have attempted suicide. kutner, next to everyone in diagnostics, looks like a picture of mental health.

however, if you are as insane as I am about kutner, you could notice that kutner was obviously not as alright as he claimed he was, as alright as all the characters thought he was. and as for my personal opinion, I do think you could make the argument that kutner was kind of passively suicidal from the moment we meet him, this being one of the reasons behind his reckless and borderline self-sacrificing behaviour (example: the charged paddles incident in mirror mirror), but, again: kutner's suicide was not planned, or meant to be foreshadowed. another opinion I hold is the distinction that kutner was meant to be secretly depressed/mentally ill, but not suicidally depressed, and if kutner hadn't needed to be written off we would have eventually gotten some kind of storyline showing this.
