Not Dead

Basically Connor faked his death, this is due to the Murphy's having plans set to fake their deaths if needed. Connor ends up living in England whilst the events of the musical happen and, with some coaxing from his cousin, returns 3 months after everything has "blown over" to fuck with everyone's heads. Zoe and Evan ended their relationship about a month into it and decided to stay friends as Zoe confessed to liking Alana, in which Evan helped her confess to the girl. Everything is fine and dandy until Connor arrives on Evan's windowsill one night.
