hints and foreshadowing moments throughout #borrasca that lead to the solving of the mystery (a thread)
disclaimer: if you haven& #39;t heard the final episode, this thread will contain spoilers. also, i want to point out that i won& #39;t be explaining every hint, because some of them make much sense as soon as you listen to the final episode
episode 1, tell me about whitney:
- sam mistakes kimber for kyle& #39;s sister when he first meets them, which is foreshadowing.
- the kids inform sam that people don& #39;t talk about the borrasca scream, which is weird, considering that it can be heard from everywhere in the town. (+)

the silence about the topic makes sense when we learn that all of the citizens know what& #39;s actually going on when the scream is heard.
- graham mentions that he is very busy and he can& #39;t go shopping with his children. again, this makes sense when we find out his involvement. (+)

- kyle and kimber advise sam to not let whitney go to a borrasca party at ambercot, especially since the borrasca scream was heard earlier. why would they say such thing if everyone in drisking believes that borrasca is an urban legend? kimber also says that her mother told (+)
her to never go to a borrasca party. we later learn that she was only trying to protect her.
- krista goes missing and the first thing sam& #39;s father says is "i& #39;m sure she just ran off with a boy". it& #39;s not common for a sheriff to solve cases of missing people without having (+)

any clues and just making up theories.
episode 2, the woods are full:
- while some girls approach sam to ask him why he& #39;s hanging out with kimber, he gets asked if they are related. one of the girls says "of course he& #39;s not related to her, he doesn& #39;t have orange hair like she does", which is foreshadowing. (+)

- sam& #39;s dad now insists that krista ran away to be with her biological father, changing his original story.
- women were missing and their families didn& #39;t report it, as leah points out. sam comments that they already had their answers.
- graham keeps saying he has a lot of (+)
- women were missing and their families didn& #39;t report it, as leah points out. sam comments that they already had their answers.
- graham keeps saying he has a lot of (+)
work to do, which seems bizarre since he is the sheriff of a small town and most of the missing cases aren& #39;t reported or they stop working on them, because it is considered that people just decided to skip town.
- graham& #39;s reaction to sam& #39;s mention of the skinned men (+)
- graham& #39;s reaction to sam& #39;s mention of the skinned men (+)
is a little too extra. he got extremely mad at his son and even mentioned something about & #39;sacrifices& #39;, which surprised sam, because he had never said such thing. his anger makes sense, since he was afraid of his business getting exposed.
- jimmy prescott; kimber hates him (+)
- jimmy prescott; kimber hates him (+)
for some reason she can& #39;t quite place, while she is fond of his dad, which is foreshadowing.
- jimmy insists that his family never gave up on drisking and worked very hard for this town.
- the kids joke about something in the water that will make them explode, which is (+)
- jimmy insists that his family never gave up on drisking and worked very hard for this town.
- the kids joke about something in the water that will make them explode, which is (+)
sort-of symbolic, since there is something in the water that make people infertile.
episode 3, partial remains:
- jimmy wants to talk to meera about business and the latter encourages sam to leave the store and promises to pay for his shift.
- a few days later, meera says she "wanna do it". she was referring to the other option her and her husband had (+)

in order to have kids, which is making a deal with jimmy.
- kimber says that james prescott has been staring at her since she was nine.
- kimber& #39;s mom hates kyle, although she liked phil, who dated her daughter when they were younger. phil is jimmy& #39;s kid while kimber and (+)

- kimber& #39;s mom hates kyle, although she liked phil, who dated her daughter when they were younger. phil is jimmy& #39;s kid while kimber and (+)
kyle are both clery& #39;s kids, so megan is against their relationship because they& #39;re siblings.
episode 4, the million dollar question:
- kathryn mentions something about & #39;purifying the water& #39;.
- the prescotts were poor and no one knows how they found the money to save the town.
- kimber gets picked by the women in white at a borrasca party. we learn that whitney (+)

- kimber gets picked by the women in white at a borrasca party. we learn that whitney (+)
had been chosen as well. when girls get selected, blood samples are taken from them by some men with masks (kimber suspects that one of them is jimmy). that didn& #39;t make sense, but since we know about the infertility problem, we can guess that they tested those girls& #39; blood (+)
to see if they& #39;re infertile or not.
- kimber suggests that kyle pretends to be her brother instead of her boyfriend when they visit tom prescott, since it would be more believable. again, this is foreshadowing.
- jimmy has himself and clery on his father& #39;s visitor& #39;s list, (+)

- jimmy has himself and clery on his father& #39;s visitor& #39;s list, (+)
even though they& #39;re not friends. they might not be friends, but they are work-partners.
- tom says his son is ruining his town.
- when kimber pretends to be meera, tom says "you& #39;re a mccaskey, that& #39;s why you& #39;re not in the mountain".

- when kimber pretends to be meera, tom says "you& #39;re a mccaskey, that& #39;s why you& #39;re not in the mountain".
episode 5, that& #39;s not what you told me:
- kyle says that "megan destaro hates me and she picks this week to kill herself". in reality, megan knew her daughter would get kidnapped and she couldn& #39;t handle it.
- whitney& #39;s car was never gone from drisking. sam& #39;s dad was sure (+)

whitney had run away because her car was also missing, but now he& #39;s changing the whole story. at this point, it& #39;s evident that the sheriff knows something and he is lying.
- kimber heard her dad talking about the prescotts.
- graham has a different theory about the (+)

- graham has a different theory about the (+)
& #39;borrasca scream& #39;. he now claims that it& #39;s a refinery, but he used to believe something else when sam was younger.
episode 6, all her shame on display:
- it is pointed out that sam is around his father& #39;s size (just a little taller) and they look alike.
- kimber& #39;s dad doesn& #39;t like kyle too.
- why didn& #39;t people go to megan& #39;s funeral even though she lived there her whole life and had many (+)

- why didn& #39;t people go to megan& #39;s funeral even though she lived there her whole life and had many (+)
friends? it& #39;s because they knew why she did what she did.
- it is pointed out AGAIN that sam& #39;s father works a lot and clery says that he& #39;s the best man for the job. when sam adds that less people have gone missing since he became sheriff, clery comments something like "i guess".

- clery talks to kimber& #39;s dad and the latter starts crying, something that confuses kyle and kimber. clery had informed him that they& #39;re taking his daughter to borrasca.

which is pretty self-explanatory.
- kyle says that his mom is pregnant, but she doesn& #39;t really look like she is.
- some cops are in the mountain, waiting for clery.
- the cops talk like the know the shiny gentleman and one of them mentions that "he doesn& #39;t hide himself".

- meera also believes the story about kimber leaving (+)
- meera also believes the story about kimber leaving (+)
for california with her dad and when sam and kyle bring up borrasca, she admits that she doesn& #39;t believe anything about it and tries to warn them about it. if she doesn& #39;t believe borrasca is a real place, why would she bother to scare k & s so they won& #39;t go there?
- kathryn tells kyle and sam to not go too close to the mines, because they& #39;re deadly. this works as foreshadow/symbol.
- when sam finds whitney& #39;s dollhouse around the mines he realises that his dad had something to do with it since there& #39;s no way he hadn& #39;t noticed it missing (+)
- when sam finds whitney& #39;s dollhouse around the mines he realises that his dad had something to do with it since there& #39;s no way he hadn& #39;t noticed it missing (+)
and he ends up saying that "he always knew whitney never ran away", which is foreshadowing.
- kyle& #39;s name is found written on the tree. someone knows he is getting closer to the truth and probably wants to get rid of him.
