WAS ALEC ACTUALLY DEAD IN “A MOST BITTER PILL”, OR MERELY COMATOSE?
Alec was actually dead for half of that episode, NOT merely comatose. Of course, he is virtually indestructable, and was easily capable of regenerating and returning to life once given sunlight and the powers of The Swamp. This raises the question that if he was dead, how did he remember all the things Arcane said during that time? Simple: The Swamp heard Arcane, and therefore Alec learned from The Swamp’s collective intelligence after being restored to life.
