- I didn't see who got zipped into the body bag in Pigeom, the D Gibbons clone or the sheriff, but I can't see how he survived the explosion.
Right. Because his surviving the explosion would be implausible - unlike the whole, "All of humanity passed out for exactly 2:17 at the same instant and all have visions of where they will be exactly six months later" premise of the show.
I think if we can accept that - and accept that "D. Gibbons" is one of at least two people who was up and walking around while the rest of the human race enjoyed nap time - I think we can also buy the he survived - or escaped - the explosion. (My money is on a blast-proof tunnel running under the place.) Strictly in terms of story-telling it is much less likely that there is yet another D. Gibbons running around in six month's time than that the first one didn't die in the blast. The fact that there is no sign that they found his body also points in that direction. (Agent Noh specifically references the death of the woman who told him she had no vision of April 29th, and nobody says something like, "Gee, wonder why that name is still on your board six months from now since we just saw D. Gibbons die and have the stiff down at the morgue.")

And it was definitely the female peace office (a deputy sheriff I think) who was zipped up in the body bag.
