On my current “relisten of random Magnus Archives episodes” I got to the s2 episode where the supplemental is everyone throwing Jon a “Stop Stalking Us on Suspicion of Murder” intervention party.

And they manage to convince Jon is wasn’t any of them because the cleaned-up CCTV footage exonerates them.

Except

screenshot of a Magnus archives transcript that reads "I’ve been examining the CCTV feeds Elias gave me. It… it does seem to provide everyone with a solid alibi, and no one is seen entering or exiting the archives except Gertrude. At least not before Elias goes down and discovers the blood."ALT

Except

a crop of the above transcript with a bright highlight on the phrase " At least not before Elias goes down and discovers the blood."ALT

Jon… Buddy……

Jonathan “smartest man in the room” Sims: “Thank God. Everyone has a solid alibi. Including Elias who followed Gertrude down into the tunnels alone but don’t worry he was just down there to find the blood and he wasn’t down there killing her or anything. That would be lying.”

Even funnier when you consider Elias was literally the one covering up Gertrude’s disappearance, hastily moving Jon into the archivist position, and telling no one.

Jonathan Cinnamon Toast Crunch are you SURE you don’t want to at least ask your boss a FOLLOW UP question about this.
