What if Taz hadn’t cheated on Gretta, or at least been honest about his affair with Adia and they’d been able to work things out?For one -- they would have raised Cadence together, and had Nocturne and Prelude a lot sooner. Taz and Gretta probably would have bought a house together, and Nick would have never been Taz’s next door neighbor -- potentially meaning Cadence would never have kissed him (she probably wouldn’t have been bold enough to do it during a lesson in her own house, especially with a younger brother and sister likely in the next room). And on the note of Cadence and Nick...

What if Cadence hadn’t kissed Nick in his apartment?It’s likely that Nick would never have known about Cadence’s crush. His reaction following the kiss suggests that he had feelings for Cadence before she kissed him -- but that he had never planned on acting on them. It’s possible that without the kiss, neither of them would have voiced their feelings, and their their mutual attraction would have eventually fizzled out, leading them to go their separate ways and both meet other people.

What if Sonata and Jacob hadn’t cheated on each other?Sonata sleeping with Buck, while a bad decision, was not necessarily a catalyst for anything other than the end of her relationship with Jacob (which, since he also cheated on her, still would likely have ended). Jacob and Adi’s relationship, however, was arguably the start of the events that led to Adi’s death -- Jacob’s involvement with the Vice-Korolyov case and investigation of Avarice led to his murder, which in turn led to Adi’s attempt to bring down her grandmother’s company and her death.Prior to Adi’s involvement with Jacob, she had a close (albeit manipulative) relationship with her grandmother. It’s likely that without her relationship with Jacob, Adi would have continued to be a leading figure in Korolyov Industries.

What if Ellie hadn’t gone to that party with Flan?Well, probably the most obvious change -- she would never have gotten pregnant with Toccata. She would have finished high school with her brothers and likely would have started dating Nat much sooner, as he had been working up the courage to ask her out at the party -- they would have settled down and started a family sooner; but since Ellie’s death wasn’t the result of anyone’s direct actions, she still would have left Nat a widower and single dad.The other side of Ellie going to the party is her involvement with Aidan. Since Toccata didn’t exist, he wouldn’t have attempted to pursue a relationship with his daughter. He may still have gotten a job with Korolyovs, and may still have had a relationship with Mina -- and that relationship is likely to have still been unhealthy -- but his aggressive insistence that Mina knew where Nat was hiding Toccata is what led to her killing him (and then fleeing to Jefferson’s).

What if Fugue had handed everything over to the Vices to begin with?Faspen wouldn’t exist. That’s it, that’s the most important thing that would have changed.
