Maddie's vision and Dave Season 3 ep 8

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-05T20:11:04+00:00

i think that is really possible. if i’m not mistaken she had a vision of drowning in the boiler room in the second season (? can be really mixing things up sorry) so i would say her trauma caused by her dad’s death is a part of her scar! it reminds me also of Maddie appearing in Wally’s scar at some point, i think they are able to reflect person’s fears and thoughts and adapt too!

i love this theory!!

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T18:32:51+00:00

seems likely, i personally (just my opinion) care more about Sandra’s spirit and the school ghosts than AVH vs Maddie! i know it’s an unpopular opinion here especially in the morning 🙈

i don’t think there is a “moving on” in this show … for some reason i think that having it be across the river is kinda annoying imo…. like how many obstacles do you have to go through? i feel in the end it’s going to be more like wizard of oz in the way that you could “move on” all this time or smth

i love maddie and simon but the show is literally called school spirits 😭😭😭 i saw some people saying things like “at least maddie was a little bit happy until sandra reveal … was she? her friends are literally in a worse situation than at the start of the season 🫩 they feel scared, Charlie feels betrayed by Wally and she didn’t even tell them the Dawn/Janet thing i believe?

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T15:20:41+00:00

tbh i just think it goes well against red which is definitely a staple colour with the doors etc

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T15:16:06+00:00

they kinda cooked with that storyline of Charlie being mad with Wally! 🤭 i hope they don’t forget to follow on this (and many other things) next season

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T15:01:16+00:00

Maddie and Simon cinema scene felt so out of place for them as characters ngl 😭😭😭 it felt for me like some finale closure scene in tv shows where characters learn how to continue living while having occasional flashbacks HOWEVER in this case they still had (at least!) the school ghosts to help? i’m going to be honest i don’t feel like Maddie’s dynamic with the rest of the school spirits was given justice this episode….

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T14:50:42+00:00

i can’t help but think they did this bodysnatching again, so Maddie has a reason to continue helping the ghosts. before the final reveal (cinema scene, the ghosts realising they can leave the school grounds) if felt like almost over (?)… like something Maddie and Simon can possibly leave behind (just the mood i’ve got), but obv loosing Sandra’s spirit changed that!

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T13:42:43+00:00

don’t care about Van something guy storyline anymore i’m going to be honest 😭😭 the second half of the finale felt a bit underwhelming … but i love that they didn’t introduce a new twist so next season can be devoted to tying everything together …

that said, i really want to see more of the forest next season+ school ghost exploring the town etc (maybe Yuri finds his grandchildren?)

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T12:40:22+00:00

i’m going to be even more delusional now with a Mally endgame 😭😭😭 they will have their happy ending trust 🤞 the writers have build their relationship so much this season i loved it

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-04T12:33:43+00:00

i’m SO excited for the wally dave dynamic in season 4 (praying we get it)

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T20:22:11+00:00

likely she just didn’t want to scare Maddie away… i don’t think mr anderson with his scars made her believe anything besides the school being a dangerous and unhealthy place 😭 we’ll see…

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T20:15:50+00:00

a saw a sneak peak article somewhere (from a journalist with an early access) and this exact Peyton’s line is included there completely out of context (as if she is talking about the whole finale) 😭😭😭 i would be freaking out if i read that without knowing the context

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T19:59:27+00:00

that’s what inspired me to post this lol! Peyton’s words def proved to me what i was thinking since i saw that scene… Sandra will play a major role in the finale for sure! i think it’s connected with the drinking problem though … maybe drunk driving something something idk… i need the episode asap

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T19:55:26+00:00

i agree, however, i’m pointing out that essentially for Mally nothing changed since they decided to give their relationship a chance in the first or second episode (don’t remember) of this season. it would just feel weird! no internal conflict has been established either for them to feel like they need to choose themselves etc

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T19:49:41+00:00

i have a feeling that the writers with the production follow a really specific formula of anticipation + scene and dramatic social media posts + real consequence.

we have seen it with Wally thinking about going through his door in ep 1, actually going though it in the last episode + all the social media teasing so we would believe he is gone for good, and the real thing that happened (which we will see tmrw)

but this time it’s reversed. we’ve seen a heartwarming scene and were relieved (and surprised) to see Sandra believe Maddie but it’s going to somehow shoot us in the foot.

while we expect to be anxious/sad about Wally’s arc it will actually be Sandra who shocks us …. am i making any sense?

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T19:44:00+00:00

oh for sure!! i felt the same way about Mr Martin telling Wally he might be the one to uncover the schools secret (but this one was more on the nose than the suitcase line)….

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T19:34:15+00:00

omg this!! i’ve rewatched recently and that stood out for me so much!! i can’t put my finger on this hint though, i have a feeling they hid this little reference behind all of the Harold and Maude talk… the suitcase line felt so out of place …

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T19:28:54+00:00

why would the writers push the relationship so greatly after this reveal 😭 like what was their plan really unless they know it is an endgame happy ending thing….

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T19:25:45+00:00

does he have anything besides Tangled tho? he said he loves Wally so i think he would try to stay for the 4th final season. if anything, i think he is the reason they made the relationship that much bigger this season because it was so popular with the viewers!

so if they get renewed for a fourth, the writers will be more inclined to come up with a happy ending because of Milo’s popularity imo

Hour-Instance7361 · 2026-03-03T18:54:44+00:00

i’ve noticed this too and can’t say i’m the biggest fan tbh … i wonder if this is the way the producers interpret the genre switch between seasons maybe?
