My gess isI hope the finale will shed more light on the Overseer's actions, because I'm a little confused about them right now.
Since RE5, we know that she's been trying to uncover the secret of immortality, but so far she has used two very different approaches that seem completely unrelated to each other.
I think it was one of the secret files I unlocked by collecting tower emblems etc., where she talked about fear being the one thing that keeps us going, and that's why she considers it the key to immortality. This begs several questions: How can fear be used to gain immortality? If fear is so good, why does her virus punish people for feeling too much of it? And what's the point of that entire experiment anyway? The only thing I can think of is that the virus is some kind of last resort that uses the fear you feel when you face your own mortality to transform you into something that is likely to survive whatever life-threatening situation you're in, and now she's testing it on several people to find out how it would work out in practice. I don't think that's it, though, because living forever as a monster can't be very pleasant.
Now the third episode makes it seem like she played too much Tomb Raider, got royally pi$$ed off when the character called Alex died, and decided to pull a Himiko using Christmas Girl's body. Her servant Stuart, who wrote about this in one of the documents found in the tower, even used the same word Mathias from Tomb Raider used to describe the woman who was chosen for the ritual: "vessel". This concept is a lot less complicated, since by transferring her soul into a new, younger body every time she gets too old, Alexandra could technically live forever, although she has yet to offer an explanation as to how the hell she thinks this transfer business is supposed to work.
The question is: How does the one thing relate to the other? Provided that it does at all, maybe she only played Tomb Raider and came up with the Christmas Girl solution after the experiment had already started, which would explain why she suddenly decided to kill Claire and Moira instead of carrying on with the experiment. But that would be a rather lame twist, and I would be disappointed if there was no specific reason why she wanted Claire of all people. (At first I thought it had something to do with Claire's brother killing hers.)
I think she's one of those peopleSeems plausible, as the only things that have managed to freak Christmas Girl out so far were the wasps. But wasn't her bracelet red from the beginning, showing extreme fear? I wonder how that goes together.
The last scene of episode 3 made me very confused haha! I agree that she's gonna use Natalia as her vessel somehow but I don't really understand how either. Did they swap minds at the end of the episode or does Natalia have some weirs superpowers that Alex is really scared of?
The scene with Claire at the end of the trailer doesn't make it look good for Moira.
I hope you are right would be a good ending to an amazing gameOn the topic of the last scene in that trailer, my thought is this; Something happens during Claire's episode 3 where everyone believes Moira dies. Claire, much worse for wear, gets off the island somehow and lets Barry know right there in the hospital (as we know from the drama trailer, he's in that scene too). So, Barry goes to the island to do his own investigation or whatever, all the sh!t we've played happens, then somehow in episode four, the Burtons are reunited and they take care of Alex for keeps (possibly saving Natalia as well) then they go home.
I think she's one of those peoplewho have had something so traumatic that they don't get scared by anything anymore.
Also red means the subject is mutating. Flashing Red means extreme fear
This is logically unacceptable. You can not possibly become immune to fear by suffering something 'so' traumatic. The opposite happens following great trauma - the girl would get stuck in the traumatic stage and 'fear' would very easily be triggered, with re-experiencing the trauma over and over. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
One of the things I found interesting about the file that details the bracelets and it's colours and what they mean etc. was that it says the bracelets measure fear response by monitoring the Adrenaline and Norepinephrine levels of the host. It could be that Natalia simply has incredibly messed up chemistry due to an underlying condition or perhaps due to a bonding with the virus? I don't really know much about brain chemistry so maybe not, but it's a possibility that occured to me.
Also, from what I gathered from the note, Red means mutated, but not necessarily scared. She may have been mutated or infected all along, possibly even as far back as Terragrigia, which she apparently survived. Perhaps it's a combination of the contamination from Terragrigia plus Alex's new T-Phobos virus that's the key to immortality Alex has been searching for?
Actually it is a true thing and something I didn't make up.This is logically unacceptable. You can not possibly become immune to fear by suffering something 'so' traumatic.

Not saying Natalia has it but it's a possibility.
We are all just theorising at the end of the day.I'm sorry it sounds silly, especially for a little child with a developing mind. You couldn't put that in a story/plot and expect it to be taken as being plausible. The critics will be on your back like there is no tomorrow. If Natalia is immune to fear it must be for another reason...she might be a special child...but doesn't she mutate in the teaser trailer of the final episode? I think, maybe, Alex wants to test her subjects fight-or-flight response. Those who fight keep their bracelets from turning red, and those that flight cause their bracelets to turn red and become a horrible genetic mutation. She wants (needs) a strong person in the simplest terms. It will all make sense once we play the final episode.
