While the showrunners have yet to confirm anything, fans are theorising that the submerged hand belongs to the mechanic, suggesting that his departure from the show might be imminent.
Eagle-eyed fans have spotted that a hand glimpsed in a chilling scene appears to be wearing a wedding ring and a bracelet. This detail keenly aligns with an episode from last week in which Cain received a bracelet from Frankie Robinson.
Social media has been buzzing with viewers sharing their hunches. One viewer theorised: “Cain wears a silvery metal-coloured ring… the hand under the ice was a similar colour and width. Also, the shape of the fingers on the hand looks very much like Cain’s, unfortunately.”

Echoing this sentiment, another concurred: “I’m guessing it will be Cain under the Ice. We know it’s a male with a wedding ring and they are wearing a bracelet. Frankie gave Cain a bracelet that she made.”
Yet another fan expressed their reluctance: “You could be onto something, but I really don’t want him to die! ” while a further supporter declared with certainty: “I’m pretty sure it’s Cain too.”
