I know a lot of folks are playing around with the idea of Niki having a split personality, but A) that would be an un-Heroic real world explanation and B) Jessi really existed.
The pet theory I'm coddling at the moment is that both sisters had powers: Jessi had the ability to "project" herself into other people and projected herself into Niki shortly before dying... only to discover that Niki had a power, too: super-strength.
Of course, the problem with this is that if Jessi had the power to possess other people, why not simply possess Daddy Dearest and prevent him from hurting anyone? And how come Niki can't remember all the things her father did unless Jess had possessed her before?
I love poking holes in my own theories.
Incidentally, we do agree that Jessi was real, right? I mean, there was a gravestone and Dad had to go to jail for something (he was in jail, right?) and people can remember seeing her... so why is she now showing up inside Niki? Anyone have any workable theories about her? The more I think about it the more I think I am far, far off the mark.
