Razzberry November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 (edited) Personally I like it when a series doesn't wrap every character in a box, leaving us to imagine what happened. Wild speculation, crackpot theories, and thoughtful discussion all welcomed! Edited November 7, 2019 by Razzberry Link to comment
T Summer November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 (edited) Alison's demise has happened and that can't be undone when we return after s4. We're going to need throw more money or control at J.J. though... whatever it takes to get Cole back! Cole, Athena and Noah press Lt. Jeffries and the authorities to investigate Alison's death further. 👮♂️They ask to have the evidence reviewed and assert that a mother who'd lost one child and drifted with no father and a frequently absent mother certainly wouldn't have committed suicide leaving her young daughter alone. ... and no, she didn't have untreated depression. All that would have been investigated and sorted out before Woodlawn allowed Alison to counsel vulnerable grieving patients who'd just lost a child. Cole and Luisa ended their relationship after Alison's funeral and his return from the trip he took Joanie on. They remain in the same house, the Lockheart ranch long enough to get Luisa her citizenship. The trip ended with a drop in at Nan's Inn with weekly "salon". Cole surfs, rests and recharges there and enters a December May relationship with Nan. Hey, if Noah can chase 24 year olds for several seasons... Cole goes out to California twice a year to be with Nan.✈️ The Lockhearts got their ranch back after Cole made a killing selling the Lobster Roll to the big east coast seafood chain. 💰 Cole raised Joanie there with Luisa for the first few years until she moved out. The mere fact that Joanie lives past her early years means the Grandpa Silas curse where no Lockheart issue survive is broken. Cole, Caleb and Hal all work on the ranch. Cole's brother Hal and his SIL who lost baby Hal go on to have more children.🤰🤰🤰 Oscar Hodges works at the ranch, 🐴🤠as does Martin once he's finished with school. Whitney goes into the Peace Corp!🚶♂️ 🥾💦🛶 🚶♂️🥾Stacy is still in school being 12 forever. Cherry can finally stop working and relax a bit, surrounded by her family and grand kids.👩👧👧👨👩👦 Still haunted by his father's and Alison's suicides (though he really suspects Ben murdered her), Cole begins to retreat into to himself. 👻 He reads Alison's journals which are among some of her possessions that Athena gave him and he learns all about EMDR. Cole steers his brother Caleb posing as a PTSD sufferer toward Ben in AA. Cole urges him to get Ben to be his sponsor and get him to talk about and eventually try the unconventional therapy. on him by saying nothing is helping with his symptoms. Unbeknownst to Ben, Caleb's palms 👐have been lightly coated with silicone and then dabbed with deadly tetradotoxin 🐡from an exotic puffer fish. 🤾♂️💀⚰️ After avenging Alison's death, Cole begins to gradually shake off his depression and feel like himself again. Poor Nan was killed in a freak welding accident while working on a huge metal art piece. He runs into Delphine at Nan's funeral and they begin seeing each other. They fall in love,👩❤️💋👨 marry and settle in Montauk and have two boys and a girl.🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♀️ When Luisa moved on from the Lockheart ranch she opened her own restaurant in Montauk🍽️ 🍴and continued to be like a mother to Joanie. When Joanie was 19 or 20 she hit it off with and eventually moved in with Martin. They separate several times over the years though, as each each of them have bouts of mental illness and depression. Alison's Dad (who needed a new kidney and went to Ca. to have the procedure) and Vik ended up in the same hospital and some major mix up occurred where Vic went in for transplant surgery and received James 's pancreas, one of the first such successful surgeries ever! 👩⚕️👨⚕️He now lives on cancer free with Helen and the Solomanders. They're raising Eddie together, of course. Helen has great success with Helen Butler Interiors and hardly has to actually do any work, as one of her many staff just bring materials lists by for her to sign off on. Occasionally she'll meet initially with an L.A. client if they're high profile enough. Descent bombed at the box office and abruptly ended both Sasha Man's and Noah Solloway's careers. No more sycophants in their 20's shoving phone numbers at either of them. Noah even lost his teaching position when the news surfaced he fraternized with the Principal and endangered the lives of children by provoking that walk out where an asthmatic student became separated from her inhaler. It all comes out during Janelle's run for the Board of Ed position when her opponents dig up dirt. Trevor and Athena meet by chance when he enrolls in a new age spiritual retreat for actors 🎩🎤📽️where she's a visiting guide/teacher. After she fixes up his "humors" she becomes like a mentor to him and they make plans to go into business together planning unconventional funerals for people when Trevor finishes school, in California... of course. Sascha is selling hanging inverted yoga chairs. He's in business with Margaret selling those, and sex toys. Priya and Abdul are involved too, as they import the fabric for the chairs. Margaret is doing it to pay for Bruce's care and to sure up the family fortune. Margaret and Bruce sold the Montauk house and moved to California to be near Helen. When The Affair wrap up is shown, Helen and Vic's happiness is starkly contrasted against Noah just getting by, all alone with his regrets over having blown up his life and left his family. Well not all alone, he's sharing an apartment with now divorced Max (the hedge fund guy) who also moved to L.A. after suffering major financial losses. Now they're two cranky old men both lamenting having screwed it up with perfect girl, Helen. When we see the future Vik and Helen are surrounded by their extended family and they're bouncing their grand babies (none of whom were sired by Colin or Furcat) on their knees.👨👧👧👩👧👧🤸♀️🧘♂️ Edited November 7, 2019 by T Summer typo 2 3 Link to comment
T Summer November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 In my defense, I was psychically damaged by watching this season and lost my mind! 1 1 Link to comment
Razzberry November 7, 2019 Author Share November 7, 2019 Well done, I love it! Whitney was diagnosed with PTSD shortly after seeing her parents banging at the Memory Motel, and never stopped blaming them for leaving the curtains open. The others didn't actually see anything, but were traumatized by the noise nonetheless. Whitney became a raging alcoholic and her children developed various behavioral issues which she claimed was inherited trauma from the same incident. Colin spends a lot of time in his basement studio napping and still dreams of leaving this godforsaken country someday - preferably alone. 1 1 Link to comment
T Summer November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 I know you asked for an epilogue, but I didn't want to make another thread for my crazy do over. Link to comment
Razzberry November 8, 2019 Author Share November 8, 2019 (edited) Love the do-over and edited the title to open it up. Anything goes. Do-overs of epilogues and do-overs of do-overs also welcome! 😃 This just in... Oscar buzz surrounds latest Sasha Mann project LOS ANGELES - Known as a method actor who completely embodies his characters, sometimes for months, we caught up with Sasha and asked him 'Why Omar Bradley, of all people? What gave you the idea?' "I've always found him fascinating" he explained. "He was methodical, determined, and a man you don't mess with. I could relate to him."
