No, it was the crock pot. It had a faulty switch. The faulty wiring in the house that they had been alluding to over the past few episodes had nothing to do with the fire.

Why would the writers put this on Crock Pot?

That's what Crock Pot wants to know!

So sad that barely any of Jack's possessions remain after the fire. Imagine not only losing your husband or father, but also all photos, (most) special items to remember him by, a shirt that smells like him, etc.

Also wondering about Jack's few possessions in that ziplock bag we see when Rebecca is driving back to the house after the fire. There is a small notebook in there, and it's not bunt or damaged, so doesn't seem like he didn't make it out of the house before the fire engulfed everything. Or maybe firefighters pulled him out but he dies of smoke inhalation?

I saw someone else speculating about this online so cannot take credit for this theory, but it's my new favorite theory of how Jack dies:

Jack doesn't realize that Kevin never came home that night. (Remember, Kevin spoke with Rebecca but not Jack). Because of his broken leg Jack is worried Kevin won't be able to escape, not realizing that he never made it home to begin with.

That theory makes a lot of sense.

The why does Kate think it's her fault?

This is an interesting theory but if this turns out to be true then why would Kate seem to be blaming herself?

The scene with Kevin knocking the wall down and the three ladies watching was so funny!

I'm the PP with the theory. I'm not sure exactly but maybe she didn't realize Kevin was out and sent Jack back into the house to look for him?

The more I think about it, the more I really like this theory. It's a way for the writer's to surprise us a bit - at this point, we all expect that his death has something to do with the dog, but maybe the dog's death (if that's what happens) is a byproduct of the fire and not the real reason.

Not sure if this is at all related to Jack's death, but they've shown Kate take on a lot of the guilt related to Kevin's issues as an adult. Even in this week's recap of last week, they made a point of showing Kate saying, "I'm the one that missed all the signs of Kevin's problems". I think she takes on a lot of guilt, unnecessarily, for various problems in the family.

I guess we'll see if I'm right or way off the mark. It's definitely fun to speculate!

Probably for the same reason Kevin felt like Randall was the mom’s favorite.

Because teenage girls are self-absorbed and think of everything in terms of revolving around them .

Agree!

This is the first episode where I didn't totally love Randall. He was just a little too much, you know? Beth was awesome with her patience and good humor in dealing with him.

I think one of them was taping Kevin on her phone!

Yeah, I think there has to be a twist somewhere. This whole “Jack runs back in to rescue the dog” theory seems a little too pat. This show has always been full of surprises. Why would they pick now to go with the obvious choice?
