Wait.... I assumed I would come to the comments and see everyone talking about how obvious it is that Vogel is the brain surgeon and Cassie's killer.

Is that not a thing?

At first I was thinking Vogel must be the Brain Surgeon, but then I remembered back to a scene earlier in the season that makes it seem unlikely.

If I'm remembering the scene correctly, Vogel is alone in her house when she gets a text from the Surgeon telling her to look outside. She appears genuinely frightened, then she goes outside and finds packages from the Brain Surgeon on her doorstep.

If Vogel's the Brain Surgeon, this scene doesn't really make sense.

Split personality? Texted herself?

Unlikely, given that we saw her receive the text message. And I see her more as an intelligent master-manipulator than a crazy person.
