If Sloane did not succed at altering the water to do what he wanted, then how did it work on him? In Another Mister Sloane he goes crazy in the end and kills that guy. That is when he is near the red ball. This is just like what happened with the bees. They became extremely agitated when it was turned on. Both had been exposed to the Rambaldi stuff. Did Sloane make some better stuff for himself and put it in his water so he would end up that way? Less agressive and more passive. I guess that is why all through season 3 he is drinking water.
