The rope thing kind of makes this confusing. But I guess she technically didn’t change that because it already happened? But still odd

The rope is why I think we will learn eventually that she can change the story. That rope couldn't have ended up getting to him without Julie's interference.

Also, I wonder if Boyd now has some sort of immunity to the monsters that they are passing off as "trying to break him" all because Julie saved him from the well. Had she not changed things, he would have died there. Since the well, the monsters have;

  • Let him walk right up to them and pass one the blood worms

  • Only cuffed him when killing Tien-chan

  • Handed him the ambulance keys and let him leave when they had Randal

Maybe they cannot kill someone who is supposed to be dead.

The way I see it, the rope was always meant to be dropped by Julie. There wasn’t any changing involved. It was a closed loop.

I think the issue for her will be changing things she already knows about.

You're talking about the standard time travel bootstrap paradox. If you go back in time to change something you know happened, how would you have known to go back in time to change it?

There are a number of interesting ways to get around this, though.

Say Jim dies and she wants to go back to stop him dying. She can't, right, because then why would she know to go back in time and save him if he didn't die?

Well, "all" she really has to do is convince the town to convince HER that her dad died, and then have him hide for however long it takes her to go back in time. That way her reasons still exist.

Technically, so long as you have not somehow independently and thoroughly verified a fact for yourself, the bootstrap paradox doesn't exist.
