Tracy is actually Jessica, Niki's real life sister.	None.	+ She could have survived being abused by her father and moved to a foster home or something. - Jessica didn't have a freezing ability, and Tracy actually seemed shocked that she froze the guy. + She could have had the ability but just hadn't manifested it yet. - She seemed to have been genuinely oblivious as to Niki or Jessica's existence when confronted.
The Reporter knew about Tracy's Ability.	None	+ The Reporter stated he was considering running the Story under the headline "Ice Queen Heats up Las Vegas" - It would be impossible for the reporter to know about Tracy's ability before she knew about it, and from the look of shock on her face, this may have been the first time it had manifested.
Tracy does not have freezing power.	None.	+ It could be the first experience of a defense mechanism of the reporter. - The flow of ice appeared to travel from Tracy towards the reporter.
Tracy is a clone of Niki developed by the Company's secret genetic division: Pinehearst Research.	None.	+ What the Company actually did to silence Niki's alternate personality, Jessica, is unknown.
Tracy is another of Niki's personalities (and some of her personalities manifest new powers).	They look exactly alike. There are no differences except as to their jobs. The reporter she froze even stated this.	+ What the Company actually did to silence Niki's alternate personality, Jessica, is unknown. They could have caused her to manifest a third personality which was oblivious to the former two. - Niki and Jessica had two different personalities and had the same power. + She seemed to have been genuinely oblivious as to Niki or Jessica's existence when confronted, and this new personality could have overcome the last three (Jessica, Niki and Gina), and when her brain shifted into this new personality, it may have resulted in a new ability as well as loss of memory of the previous three. + Jessica used her ability before Niki and Niki seems to have absorbed this powerful from Jessica similar to Peter's power. This could be a new personality with a different a power that Niki will eventually absorb or learn to use. - If it's a manifestation of another identity, it is her fourth identity. In Season 2, Niki's third identity was Gina. She was shown taking drugs in a club or bar when DL went to go find her. That episode is where DL died.
Tracy and Niki are triplets.	None.	+ Linderman had be planning and manipulating Niki her entire life and hid a third sister with a family that encouraged her to go into politics. This would be Linderman's backup plan if Nathan did not win the election - Niki and Jessica were not twins, which is confirmed by a photo in Linderman's archive.
