RECAP:

After Bendy faints due to the chemical that Shelly infects the room with, we get a brief flashback. We witness this from the perspective of an unknown character who seems to be laying down as Dandy Speaks to them.

Dandy, who seems to be stained with some sort of black liquid as if he has just done a surgery on our character, tells us about how it’s dangerous to go outside, presumably of Gardenview, and how we(our character) are “damaged”, while also simultaneously mentioning an unspecified operation.

Dandy then turns around to look at us and expresses how he cares deeply about us and that we should be more careful. A dark goey hand reaches out and holds Dandy’s hand, promising to be more cautious in the future. Dandy smiles and thanks us, revealing that we are seeing this from Shelly’s perspective and that this is her memory, ending the flashback.

ANALYSIS:

This scene manages to progressively bring up lots of new questions despite how quick it is and to surprise us with the outcome even though we don’t fully know what is going on.

The first thing we would ask ourselves when this scene starts is “Who are we? Who is the person we are seeing this as?”, which a lot have immediately assumed it to be Bendy, which does make sense given he has just passed out, has a history with Dandy and his blot. Maybe the memory is one where Bendy’s illness rises up and Dandy had to take care of him and that’s why his gloves and coat are stained in black patches?

But then more questions start rising, why is Dandy telling Bendy that it’s dangerous to go outside? What operation is Dandy talking about and how is he running one if by this time he would be nothing but an entertainer? But then, it turns out that the question we had already solved was actually wrong, Bendy was merely bait in order to reveal that Shelly is the one who Dandy is speaking to.

And that reveal brings up even MORE questions. What happened to Shelly? Why and how is she “damaged”? Is it the blot? Is she a searcher that was somehow turned into a regular toon? Is she somehow involved in this supposed operation? It’s a very open-ended close for this scene that manages to put even more mystery and intrigue to Shelly’s past, Dandy’s treatment of their people and the isolation of the Gardenview crew as a whole.
