what happens

Wayne struggles to hold on to his memories, and his grip on reality, as the truth behind the Purcell case is finally revealed.

Not enough to put a number on. The shape below is drawn from what there is, with the widest uncertainty band we use — it is the start of an answer, not one.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

“Holy shit did I think something nefarious was happening in that scene where it’s Roland and Hayes talking to each other about future living arrangements......... music and tone turned dark and ominous real quick.”

“The transition of seeing Hays and West from the three different timelines while they were in the car was fucking incredible and so smooth.”

“It ends full circle, Hays reunited with his friends and family, his last memories are of the reconcilation he needed to begin the next part of his life, and then he disappears into the jungle he understood so well - mystery. The audience knows that Julie is safe. The characters know that they've finally moved past the case and are together. And whether you think Hays dies in that last scene or not, his story is complete.”
