was part of "the plan" that each character played out. Chad is not going to die. I think he was wearing a bulletproof vest and fake blood was used. What I did not know is that Andre was in on the plan. I believe we are very near the end of the 3 villians sl. Orpheus will outlast Clyde and Xander and will probably be the last one to go, but the only one to actually die. The other two will go back to prison, which will, of course, keep the door open for them at some point in time.
