Like…. I used to cheer…. As Monica says… keep your head high, its just cheerleading.

If you look at the guy sitting next to Charles, aka boyfriend of the new first chair bassoonist, he has his hair parted just like Tim Kono, he is wearing similar attire and he has a similar build as Tim. We think that the first chair prior to Alison Tipton retired and thus the first chair spot was empty. Jan thought that meant that that spot was as good as hers but then she overheard the conductor telling Alison she got the spot or they announced that Allison would be getting the first chair and that just set Jan off.

For some reason or another, maybe the boyfriend was there when the girlfriend got the spot, Jan saw him (perhaps only from behind or from far away so she didn't get a good look at his face), and she sees him again in the elevator when she goes back home. That sets her off and she decides that she is gonna go for the boyfriend in hopes of getting the new first chair out of the picture. So the night of the murder, she got herself invited in. I'm not sure how since he wasn't all that friendly with most, but perhaps she overheard him talking on the phone about the jewelery since he seemed to have loud convos regardless of where he was at. She uses that to get an invite inside his apartment, saying she has information on the jewelry--- since that would get his interest for sure.

So she gets herself invited in, he sets out drinks for them while they talk, he steps away for something and she poisons the drinks. As to why her equipment was left there, I think she had intended to deal with arranging the scene to leave nothing behind but was interrupted when the person that shot him made an entrance and she hid in another room with her box until had the chance to escape except she left the box in her panic.

With all that in mind, she is also likely the one that started posting the notes after the podcast dropped, the one that poisoned Oliver's dog, and my cousin believes she also stabbed herself to further get eyes off of her hence why the wound wasn't fatal and she doesn't have any details to offer on who did it. Also explains why she was so focused on driving the investigation elsewhere and why she was upset when they forced her out of it.

We also believe that she is not looking at Charles' in that last scene, but instead at the boyfriend because she is shock that he is still very much alive and that she definitely killed the wrong man.

Our bets are on Oscar's dad being the one that came on to kill Tim Kono, overcome with built up anger the night his son was finally released from prison, and when he realized someone had already taken care of it for him, he shot him out of anger and then fled the scene.

Only thing we're unsure of it what was going on with the Dimas' being outside before the fire alarm was set off. We think that perhaps they figured out Tim was onto their jewelry scheme and he had agreed to meet them outside to talk about it since he was intent on exposing them. Maybe he thought he could use that as leverage for making them come clean about that night and clear Oscar's name?

EVERYONE WAS IN ON IT!!!! IT WAS A GROUP EFFORT!
