And since when has the simplest reasoning ever been the path taken on this show? (lol)

I get where you are coming from, and I don't discount that possibility. But, as i said, even A&E made a comment regarding not trusting Cora's words. And that was actually in direct response to a question about Lancelot's death. So, I'm just taking the open mind approach and leaving all reasonable (and even a few unreasonable) options on the table.
