Is Someone Going to Drown on Big Little Lies? These 5 Clues Have Me Convinced

In "Tell-Tale Hearts," Bonnie's mom Elizabeth comes to Monterey in an attempt to help Nathan figure out how to connect with his wife (who is very obviously dealing with PTSD after causing Perry's death). After reading the hell out of Nathan, Bonnie, and her husband Martin while having dinner at a restaurant, Elizabeth later creeps into Bonnie and Nathan's bedroom, arranges a bone, feather, and crystal on the dresser, and appears to pray over her daughter's sleeping body.

Bonnie confronts her mother about the talismans; Elizabeth then reveals that she's "been having visions lately" and knows Bonnie's been having them, too. "They are strong . . . somebody's drowning," she says. "I see lots of water, and somebody's drowning. I see you drowning right now, in a way." Between Elizabeth's shrewdness and Mary Louise's persistence, nothing is getting past these moms.

Mary Louise is clearly no fan of Celeste's BFF, Madeline. In an effort to convince her that Madeline actually has some redeeming qualities, Celeste tells her mother-in-law that Madeline "once saved Max from drowning." It's a comment that happens earlier in "Tell-Tale Hearts" — way before we find out about Bonnie's mom's vision — making it easy to miss, but still a poignant reference.

In episode three, "The End of the World," a visibly distressed Bonnie is seen walking into the ocean while fully clothed. It's hard to read too much into such a short clip, but it does seem like a possible clue: is Bonnie planning to drown herself?

The clip continues with Elizabeth holding on to a young Bonnie, teaching her how to swim and plunging her underwater in a public swimming pool (there's a lifeguard on duty, thank god). Almost simultaneously, we see Bonnie fully submerged in the ocean, which further hints at a possible drowning attempt.

In what might be the most glaring clue, there's a blurry, split-second frame of Bonnie floating face-down in the water during episode four, "She Knows." It's part of another vision Elizabeth has in her hospital bed after suffering a stroke. The moment Bonnie touches her mother's hand, she's inundated with flashes of her drowning. It's not looking good for my girl.

It may still be too soon to tell, but most of the foreshadowing points to Bonnie being the one who drowns. It's clear that she's holding onto some secrets about her life before moving to Monterey, and it doesn't help that her own mother is the one who has the visions of her drowning body. Bonnie could be so crushed by the weight of causing Perry's death that she ultimately takes her own life — or, perhaps Mary Louise (currently on the war path to find out what really happened to her son) finds out that Bonnie is his killer, and pushes her into a swimming pool?

There's also the possibility that nobody drowns in the present day, and instead we find out that someone (along with Max Wright) suffered a near-drowning incident in the past. And with the new revelation that Perry's twin brother Raymond died in "an accident" at 5 years old, there's also a chance that the abusive husband and father may have taken his brother's life — perhaps by drowning him.
