FLYNN IS... GONE?

Ahahahah. Let’s break this down here.

1) Jessica with Rittenhouse. Wow. Such shock. Very stun. Really resolving the love triangle in an original and meaningful way there, guys. There better be an amazing explanation for this BS/we get to see Jessica fight back against RH even after following orders, because “she’s just evil now in the last two episodes, sorry” is THE LAZIEST thing I can possibly think of and I want to think they’re better than that. Especially after they SPECIFICALLY TALKED ABOUT not making her into a one-note evil ex. Like jesus christ. This is so bad on so many levels if they play it straight. Like somehow Jessica did nothing when she had so many chances to mess them up, tricked Lucy into walking away/letting her have a second chance with Wyatt when she was all set to divorce him/has been playing some long con emotionally manipulative BS/etc. It’s just so gross and strips Wyatt of any responsibility for acting like a tool (as well as the power of Lucy deciding on her own to walk away) and flattens a likable female character into another screeching evil harpy brought back solely to cause love triangle drama, be evil, and (god let’s hope not) get killed again. If she HAS to die, she better go down a god damn hero having taken a couple RH dudes with her. I accept nothing less. Anyway. I will restrain my frothing salt and rage until I see this play out. Still stan her either way.

2) It looks like Wyatt and Flynn (and Lucy) all get hurt. I need Flynn and Wyatt to both get hurt saving her, for any number of reasons. Especially Flynn. Because him taking a bullet for her after using her as a human shield in the pilot would be a Lot and this is fine.

3) It also looks like the team makes it back to the bunker after Chinatown with the exception of Rufus, which stresses me out. So Wyatt probably isn’t gonna sacrifice his seat (sigh), Rufus may die in some (tempoRARY!!!!) fashion, per Jiya’s visions, and she is the one to pilot them home. So then they have to figure out how to rescue him/save him somehow, but that involves traveling on your own timeline, which they can’t do, and without Rufus, they have almost zippo chance of figuring it out. BUT:

4) I have been theorizing with @extasiswings about this and we Really Have a Need now, so I’m gonna be mad if it doesn’t happen, but I also think it will:

5) There’s a picture of the team (sans Rufus) gathered together in the bunker and clearly prepared for somebody arriving. Wyatt and Denise have guns, they all look worried. We also know that the last scene of Chinatown is gonna blow everyone’s minds and spawn a lot of fanfic. We also had the tease of seeing Lucy in another light (dark Lucy on her rage spiral) and then IN ANOTHER NEW LIGHT that would make our jaws drop. Abigail Spencer has been coy about whether we are going to meet Future Lucy. So, I am here and now proposing that the cliffhanger is Future Lucy arriving in the bunker.

6) Because think about it.

We know the journal origin sets up s3. It would be very surprising if the last scene didn’t have to do with that somehow.

We’ve heard about Flynn meeting future Lucy and the questions around the journal and Lucy thinking it was impossible for that to happen.

Flynn told her that she gave him the journal in 1x16. That would parallel actual Future Lucy turning up in 2x10.

They need to have time tech to travel on their own timelines to save Rufus.

Future Lucy turning up is obviously a ZOMGZ! moment and breaks/reshuffles the rules of the show as we know them.

Those dastardly bastards would then be able to fulfill the Lyatt foreshadowing (present Lucy may agree/be open to the idea of rekindling things with Wyatt once he figures himself out) AND the Garcy foreshadowing (future Lucy is with Flynn/is there to see Flynn again). You could have two versions of Lucy, one with Wyatt and one with Flynn (also implying that Flynn is her future which I’m fine with). They would have played it both ways because PSYCHE! It IS both ways! At least for now. I would hate them but also love them a bit and have to tip my hat.

Goran referenced the Man in High Castle in an interview a while ago. That’s a show that also has multiple timelines/realities and different versions of people. Flynn has also said that at times it seems like the journal was written by a different Lucy. So what if this is Original Flavor Lucy driving her time machine into the bunker, from the timeline where the journal happened as it was and didn’t get changed?

Also anyway. Aside from this. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF FLYNN, HAVING WALKED AWAY FROM LUCY RIGHT NOW TO ALLOW FOR HER HAPPINESS, THEN SAW HIS LUCY AT THE END? HE GAVE HER UP AND THEN THE LUCY HE ORIGINALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH RETURNED TO HIM?

Because wow. Can you. Even IMAGINE HIS FACE.

Especially if we don’t see who it is, we just see the team completely stunned and shaken and staring. And then this giddy smile spreads across Flynn’s face and he’s all “….Lucy?”

(Advance reviews also said their relationship got more “confusing.” It doesn’t seem like it’s just about an aborted confession of feelings. Future Lucy turning up in the bunker and him seeing her again? Yeah. That does qualify as a Wild Card Supremo.)

Yeah Wyatt has jealousy issues, but Emma really takes the cake.

Her main motivation for hating Lucy is that Lucy was offered a place in Rittenhouse because of her bloodline, while she had to work her way through the ranks. And then Lucy had the audacity to turn the offer down. Emma takes personal offence to that. Especially given that Lucy’s bloodline still puts her among the ranks for Rittenhouse leadership.

This new takeover of power is going to have very different repercussions in season 3, I think, because Emma does not follow by the same ideology that Rittenhouse does. Rittenhouse was about creating a perfect “cleansed” world that they could control. Emma isn’t about changing the world - she’s about retribution for perceived wrongs against her. I predict that her targets are going to be picked with much more precision and with more personal symbolism than we’ve previously seen in Rittenhouse missions. With Emma, it’s not about the “bigger picture,” it’s about revenge.         

Synopsis : The morning after the kiss Wyatt and Lucy share in the Season 2 teaser. Fluffy and smutty.

Rated : Explicit

She wasn’t sure what pushed her to make the first move. Maybe the uncomfortable reality of her growing feelings for him. The tension due to their proximity in the hotel room? The fear of losing him again? The comfort of feeling safe by his side perhaps. Or was it the fact that he was the only one who could understand what she was experiencing right now – the loss of control upon her own life, threatened by an abyss, named Rittenhouse, that was about to swallow her whole.

But these considerations mattered very little at this precise moment. She was in his arms, her leg wrapped around his, his arm safely tightened around her waist and her hand resting on his jaw, the prickling feeling of his stubble a wonder under her fingers. For the first time in forever she felt like she belonged, like her life had a little bit of sense.

She looked up to find him soundly asleep, his features totally relaxed. She memorized the sight of him, aware of the preciousness of the moment. Too often she’d seen him in pain, tortured – physically or emotionally - angry or tense during their missions. No matter what was to happen between them, she knew she would cherish this vision of him. Like she would cherish this stolen night.

Her fingers automatically reached to her lips as the sensations came back to her mind.

The way she kissed him first and the way he kissed her back, capturing her bottom lip, lightly sucking on it until he made her moan and go limp in his arms.

The constant pressure he applied at the back of her neck to keep her close to him.

Are we going to get Flynn helping to save Denise’s family? Helping to save another government agent’s wife and daughter from Rittenhouse when he wasn’t able to save his own? Are we going to get, as @qqueenofhades rudely suggested to me this morning, Flynn comforting a scared young girl after dealing with RH? Are we going to get Denise/Flynn bonding? ARE WE?
