What if Clifford is actually alive and the real Claudius was the one they found in the barn. Clifford has been pretending to be Claudius (with or without Penelope's knowledge because idk if she's that crazy yet) What if Clifford is trying to get rid of Nana and Cheryl so he can be guaranteed the maple syrup business back
OR.....
what if Claudius and Penelope were together all along and Claudius was trying to get revenge on Clifford for making him run away. What if Claudius got rid of Jason and framed Clifford and then killed Clifford... Now he's trying to get rid of Cheryl and Nana too so he can fully have the syrup business...
