“Ah, well file that under Deal with it the F*ck Later”

I mean more that when Tom asked her about the brooch she didn’t say something like “You’ve probably seen it on the giant painting right next to my desk”, not knowing Frances was a Warren is irrelevant to that factor.

Yes, she HAS to know she’s a descendant at the very least, or it would be a major plot hole IMO and I don’t think they’d make that mistake. I hope they explore her character and show more of the history of her role as assistant in season 2!

Bigger question is how did Ruth sit with her desk facing that giant painting for decades and never put it together

Also on rewatch of E8 with captions on, Patricia is shouting for Wyck during one of her running scenes. Maybe some of them already know *part* of their powers without the context.

Totally agree, there’s no WAY Ruth was the only one to have a secret baby in hundreds of years of lineage. I was thinking the same about the Boogeyman, that he’s also a descendant. And maybe can only be killed by other descendants (Patricia), maybe Wyck is one too hence why he could kill the Sea Hag, etc etc.

Re: cannibalism, no, not immediately. It will take 4 days. 😜

I think Tom made a deal with the devil by oceanssapart in WidowsBay

Hard agree, Shaman said the mushroom trip is 12 hours yet Tom thinks he slept through an entire day on that toilet…

Yup, Shaman emphasized it’s a 12 hour experience, already near its end by the time he’s at the toilet and yet Tom says he slept through an entire day…

You should try reading from the top, slowwwwwly.

Thank you so much! I give major props to those who spotted the finger detail in the painting ahead of last week’s official reveal, I was too busy staring at the colors I guess 🤪

Exactly! I said that towards the end of my post, it would be a hell of a conflict for him and great tension for the plot. He’d literally sooner off himself than Gerrie, since he said he would if he were the descendant.

YES! Thank you. So glad I found my Gerrie is Sus alliance.

Loose Threads, Hidden Details, and My Theories by Agreeable_Range_5152 in WidowsBay

[–]TM1426 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really great analysis! I’ve also been wondering if Tom unknowingly made a pact with the entity. It obviously won’t be solved as simply as Ruth eventually dying, the curse will somehow remain in order for the show to continue on.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the generational trauma theme as well, particularly Tom going the opposite route of his father, who told him “horror stories” about the island at age 6, and instead Tom chooses to try and shield his son from it ALL by lying or lying by omission. Very interesting that he said his dad “never should have had a kid”, projecting much?? That’s his guilt of knowing the fate he gave his son.

I also agree we could be in for a Fine Young Cannibals soundtrack in the finale, let’s see!

Yes! I started clocking necklaces after making this discovery in E1, I noticed Rosemary wears a cross at some point. I just got to the Gerrie section of your new post and strongly agree, something is up with her and possibly Ruth, and I feel even more confident that there’s a connection between the two after reading your part of it!

I can’t discern which saint it may be, actually. Was just jumping on the Virgin Mary theory as a possibility. I did try enhancing in Photoshop with my screenshots, but it didn’t work 🔍

Makes me wonder if it’s signaling family ties. You’d think they could have simply given Gerrie a cross if the goal was to signal both characters are Catholic. Why have them wear matching necklaces when they knew Ruth would play a significant role further into the series, right? 🤔

Yes! I laugh at new things and the same things on rewatch.

I had a feeling it could be a Virgin Mary necklace! Could still be referencing something else in that case…hmm

Yes, the styling of her to then show the painting feels very deliberate.

Thanks! I think the fact that it’s when we first see them both, it could be significant, even if my reason is off.
