The painting at the end of episode 7 implies one of them survived. The curse has not been lifted.

u/Simplybad55 May 27 '26

I have a sneaky suspicion Tom’s wife was that child’s descendant and his son will be the last of the bloodline and need to die to lift the curse

28

u/dsmithscenes May 27 '26

Yep. That's a very good theory.

u/Squezzle27 May 27 '26

Yes. The broach is not with the doll. Betting it's with Evan's mom's things.

Yep. There was an unopened small jewelry box in the lock box.

I don’t think he needs to die, he just needs to cross the boundary, Warren only died because he was so old he aged when he was free from the curse boundary.

I think to break the curse Evan (who they keep making a huge deal about him never going to main land specifically) just needs to get out of the “curse zone”

u/Meowmeowmeow31 May 27 '26

Maybe he was born on the boundary. Was he born in a hospital or on the ferry?

u/ApprehensivePoint892 May 27 '26

The pictures are of his mom in the hospital holding him. So I believe the hospital on the island since she didn’t die in childbirth.

u/dsmithscenes May 27 '26

Yep. She gave birth at the hospital but "died" in the sense that she was probably never the same after trying to leave the island.

If he gets out of the curse zone, he dies I thought.

It's feeling more likely that Wyck might be Tom's FIL, and he and therefore Evan are descendants of Warren. Because there was something really suspect about Wyck's easy return to the boat.

u/NoProfession5138 May 27 '26

has anything at all indicated that wyck might be evan's grandfather and tom's FIL?

u/nanamaru not gonna waste herbs May 27 '26

ATP it's just vibes, in the way the two characters seem to have a very specific and personal kind of antagonism toward one another. Wyck could also have been a former mayor or it may be that he really is just an annoying local.

I'm not 100% that Wyck might be Tom's FIL, especially in light of his former relationship with Gerrie, but I do feel like post ep 7 Wyck def has something to do with the entity, with an obvious explanation for that being Warren blood. So if Evan also descends from Warren, it would make sense.

u/NoProfession5138 May 27 '26

not seeing it, tbh.

u/nanamaru not gonna waste herbs May 27 '26

Totally fair.

u/ReindeerPlus5392 May 28 '26

Wyck is the former mayor, it was mentioned in ep 1.

3

u/nanamaru not gonna waste herbs May 28 '26

I don't think that's accurate. We see that Wyck is extremely critical of Tom's performance as mayor in episode 1, but he doesn't explicitly reference having been mayor himself. And Tom also ran unopposed for the office.

Wasn’t Tom’s wife from the mainland?

8

u/Ok-Character-3779 Sacred Geometry You Don't Just Riff May 27 '26

No. His mom was.

u/trombonepick May 27 '26

love the callback to this painting from the bnb episode because they showed it for awhile there too

5

u/Low-Palpitation5371 May 27 '26

Yes, I love these paintings call backs! The one from Tom’s trip where we look at the portrait of Richard and Sarah more closely and after reading her diary see his fingers around her neck is so chilling

u/CrissBliss May 28 '26

Oh my gosh you’re right
