I was thinking the same thing, like that moment solidified their future which allowed the future Lucy and Wyatt to come back to bring back Rufus.
I feel the same way, but with a Timeless twist. I see each man as a pathway to a different future. I see “Journal Lucy” as Flynn’s girl. I see “Historian Lucy” as Wyatt’s girl. However, I think “Current Timeline Lucy” could end up with either of them and for different reasons (see below for more on that).
I think Abigail Spencer/Lucy has wonderful chemistry with both of them, but I think she has a more intense chemistry with Flynn.
I agree. Flynn definitely challenges her and also allows her to be more authentically herself without making things about him (unfortunately, Wyatt does that often).
Speculation on the finale and Lucy’s place in the current timeline:
I loved the finale. The season laid beautiful groundwork to get us to these episodes. Now, I feel like we are running on all cylinders and the stories, the stakes and the characters are fully formed and have weight. That is why we HAVE to have a Season 3 because the payoff for these stories and characters is waiting in Season 3.
One of the things that really jumped out to me in these two episodes was how much the timelines can change when our time travelers are in the past. We all know what happened to Jessica when Wyatt and Lucy were in “Hollywoodland” starting their relationship. What I wonder is whether similar things happened to any of the other characters without our knowledge…more specifically Flynn’s timeline and story?
We all know the original version of Flynn from last season where Lucy was simply a means to recovering his family. However, what if something changed and the audience isn’t aware of it, like perhaps Lucy IS actually his wife in this NEW timeline. The way he talks about wanting to kill Wyatt and his connection with Lucy feels very deep. He is almost desperate to make a connection with her in the Robert Johnson episode. He is never happier or more engaged than when he is with Lucy. I think we didn’t see these things happen and neither did Lucy and Wyatt because they were focused on Jessica. Flynn is being Flynn and him not knowing the other timeline existed make this possible.
In this new timeline, we don't really know who his wife is, just that they were killed and that Lucy coming back in time spurred him to pull himself together. I think is could be/ or is why he is now focused on helping to get his "wife" to remember him or to fall in love with him again (like Wyatt had to do with "new" Jessica). That could be why he hasn't made more overt moves and why her relationship with Wyatt pisses him off so much. If that is the case, it has some beautiful symmetry to the storylines and shows how each man is focused on recapturing his wife's love. I'd love to see this scenario play out and we can see who "Current Timeline Lucy" picks and who she evolves into..."Warrior Lucy" or "Mother Lucy" or a Lucy we haven't seen yet.
