But Starbuck getting ejected and being in that area as well forced him to change those plans and take a gamble that Starbuck's pistol would be unguarded in the locker room, which enabled Starbuck to get framed. Complex I admit, but the best explanation I could come up with under the circumstances.

And a brilliant one. I'm not sucking up when I say it's a plot twist worthy of Agatha Christie or Rex Stout. And it works to perfection in this adaptation.
