The Righteous Gemstones Hints Lori Killed Several Of Her Ex-Boyfriends
Many Of Her Past Partners Have Disappeared
As it turns out, Lori Milsap may have killed off several of her ex-boyfriends before the events ofThe Righteous Gemstonesseason 4. Up until episode 5, it was always hinted that something odd was going on with Lori.Lori seemingly wants to act as a replacement for the late Aimee-Leigh Gemstone, with their mysterious history possibly setting this up. However, nobody would have ever expected Lori to be a murderer.
When Jesse’s leadership team returns with information about Lori, its worse than anyone could have ever imagined. By combing through her online footprint, it is discovered that Lori has a long history of short relationships with very wealthy men. Most of these men have either wound up disappearing or have been found dead in mysterious circumstances. Lori Milsap is the common denominator in all of these cases, with Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin believing that she may be a serial killer.
The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 Episode 5 Surprisingly Breaks A Series-Long Streak (But Has Already Made Up For It)
The Righteous Gemstones season 4, episode 5 is another traditional episode, which is surprising considering the show’s epsidoe 5 track record.
On top of that, Baby Billy provides information that only makes the situation worse. As Baby Billy explains, Lori Milsap reached out to him when she found out about the Aimee-Leigh Birthday Give-a-Thon that was seen inThe Righteous Gemstonesseason 4, episode 2. Lori explained that she was in immense debt and needed to be part of the program to get by. Her debt could explain why she keeps dating wealthy men and killing them. If true, this means that Eli could be the next victim.
Could Lori’s Ex-Boyfriend Mitch Be Responsible For The Other Men’s Disappearances?
Maybe She Isn’t A Killer
Although it seems like Lori is a murderer, another possibility is that Mitch is behind the other men’s disappearances.Mitch is Lori’s recent ex-boyfriend, with her leaving Mitch to date Eli. It has been theorized that Mitch is the one who violently threatenedEli and Lori at the end of episode 5. If this is true, it would prove that he has a violent streak that stems from jealousy. This jealousy and violence could have led Mitch to kill Lori’s ex-boyfriends. While this would be a twist, it still doesn’t make as much sense as Lori being behind their deaths.
Lori’s Dark History Puts Eli’s Life In Immediate Danger In The Righteous Gemstones Season 4
Could Eli’s Death End The Show?
The Righteous Gemstoneshas established that Lori has a dark history, and this could put Eli’s life in immediate danger. If Lori has a streak of dating wealthy men, killing them, and taking their money, then Eli is an obvious choice for her next victim. This would prove Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin’s concerns right, as Lori would just be using Eli. Since a rift is being created in the Gemstone family, Lori could use this to seclude Eli even more, making him an easier target.
Why Walton Goggins' Baby Billy Has So Many Nude Scenes In The Righteous Gemstones Season 4
The Righteous Gemstones season 4 has given Baby Billy a lot of nude scenes, with many fans wondering why Walton Goggins is getting so much attention.
However, it is also possible that this could all be a misunderstanding. It could be that Lori had nothing to do with her ex-boyfriends' deaths. They could all have valid explanations, and Lori is only dating so many men because her partners keep dying. It would be an odd choice to prove Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin right after their selfish behavior, after all. Lori being a murderer would also make it hard for the Gemstones to move on from Aimee-Leigh’s death, something that really needs to happen to wrap up the final season ofThe Righteous Gemstones.
