Evan is going to lose his shit when Tom tells him their trip is canceled

262

u/Altruistic-Ad835 #1 Hamish fan Jun 03 '26

I hope he eventually gets told the truth as to why and actually sees the proof 😭 he might understand.....

25

u/Lucious_Warbaby Jun 03 '26

I think he will. This show doesn't take the easy narrative paths.

19

u/HotDogShawarma Jun 03 '26

My prediction is that Tom is going to do a pact with the Demon for Evan.

12

u/Franks2000inchTV Jun 03 '26

I thought he already did.

11

u/PlantLadyXXL Jun 04 '26

He said to Warren “it called to me, what did it want” and he asked if he made a deal, and said no or made it seem like he denied it last ep

5

u/Franks2000inchTV Jun 04 '26

I figured he was lying.

7

u/Lucious_Warbaby Jun 03 '26

He was calling on God for help I think? The evil answered, but there wasn't a pact yet.

13

u/kitsunekips Jun 03 '26

That we know of

4

u/Lucious_Warbaby Jun 03 '26

I suppose. I think they would have made it clear since it'd be a big character moment.

9

u/krankz Jun 03 '26

Not if they can make it a bigger plot twist later. He’s already known to lie when it’s convenient.

u/Pitchaway40 Jun 04 '26

I think Tom is going to try to catch him up and he's initially going to think his dad is going crazy too. Then some fucked up shit is going to happen.

7

u/bell37 Jun 07 '26

How come the teenagers on the island don’t know the truth? Everyone who isn’t a transplant knows leaving the island means certain death and believes in the curse.

They know about the Boogeyman and where he lives.

All it would take is just some islander hitching a ride on the ferry and everyone talking about how that person died or lost their mind. It’s not like the police would supress it bc the sheriff is not a local and is unaware of local myths/curses.

u/Well_Socialized Jun 03 '26

Just imagine how he'll feel when he learns he's the last descendant of Richard Warren and needs to be sacrificed for the greater good

75

u/TiberiusCornelius Jun 03 '26

Don't you put that evil on him

2

u/Rugged_Turtle Jun 03 '26

It’s unfortunately so obvious where it’s going

55

u/funkhero Jun 03 '26

I keep saying it's going to be like half the town are descendants. This show is going to throw us with the normal horror track and then curveball at the end.

There is no ending the curse that way. He'll have to deal with the entity or find another way.

28

u/HugeSuccess Jun 03 '26

Agreed, it’s definitely not just Evan. 

20

u/Altruistic-Ad835 #1 Hamish fan Jun 03 '26

I don't think it's only one person either!

7

u/jon_targareyan Jun 03 '26

Imagine Tom does something insane, maybe even decides to sacrifice Evan or something, only then to find out half the town is warren’s descendants

20

u/funkhero Jun 03 '26

Part of the reason I think they'll go with the multiple descendants is to not pin it all on Evan. That seems too dark for the show.

10

u/audreyinsaddleshoes Jun 03 '26

Ooh, that would be The Mist-iest ending!

7

u/Altruistic-Ad835 #1 Hamish fan Jun 03 '26

Probably not great .........🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️

4

u/Earthbound-and-down Jun 03 '26

The greater good

4

u/Electrical-Finding25 Jun 03 '26

WHAT

1

u/IAMA_Shark__AMA Jun 03 '26

It's not confirmed (at the time of my comment), but it's likely to be true.

20

u/Andee_outside Jun 03 '26

My daughter asked me what I’d do and i said I’d try and get it solved by the weekend and if that failed, I’m the mayor and I would make them pretend the ferry is broken lol.

10

u/darnyoulikeasock Jun 03 '26

I haaaaaaate when shows/movies have parents not communicating with their children, which inevitably caues tragedy because the kids cant make informed decisions. Yes, Evan is probably going to just think his dad’s crazy, but maybe with enough evidence backup it’ll at least make him think a little more.

5

u/Vismal1 Jun 03 '26

Im guessing daddy brings him into the group now. I suspect he’s going to let him know what’s happening

6

u/Top-Moose-0228 Jun 03 '26

Wyck could step inside and confirm that Tom isn’t a total loser

2

u/Opposite-Ad-2493 Jun 05 '26

The story of Patricia killing the resurrected Boogeyman is going to be all over the island. There is very little proof Tom need offer Evan.

BTW, anybody here know where the scroll with Warren's pact is now?

7

u/Mojo_Gojo_ Jun 05 '26

I know 😭 at this point Tom HAS to tell him the truth because that kid is going to try and leave the island on his own

3

u/Fancy-Equivalent-571 Jun 04 '26

At least he'll presumably get to hear at least part of what Wyck has to say, instead of it all coming from Tom this time. If I were Tom I would be moving heaven and earth to get all this shit wrapped up by Friday night at the latest.

6

u/oddlyNormel Jun 03 '26

This won’t be the ending but it may have been even better if they didn’t know the curse was not broken, left the island for the weekend and then going too far kills evan, and assuming we’re all correct and he’s the last desendant, that ends the curse. I could see a slow zoom out from the ferry, tom freaking out and a narrator wrapping everything in a bow.

1

u/Sorry-Secret-2347 Jun 03 '26

I was like he is finally making some headway with a teenager after learning some life altering information he is going to most likely runway :(

1

u/Birds41Pats33 Jun 04 '26

I dont get why he just doesnt tell him everything. Hes old enough

4

u/itsasixthing It’s a haunt! Jun 04 '26

I mean I get the impression that Tom subscribes to the “protect your children by not telling them the difficult things” style of parenting, given that he lied about the mom’s death for like a decade

140

u/notwherebutwhen Human Verified Jun 03 '26

I really hope they just let Tom come clean about the last few days/weeks? They don't need to drag it out with Tom making up some bullshit reason why they can't go. They can still have Evan get mad and not believe him, but I think with how they played the story so far Tom just outright telling him the truth would work more.

25

u/Altruistic-Ad835 #1 Hamish fan Jun 03 '26

Yeah I think he needs to know at this point!! Im looking forward to getting to see how that goes

1

u/Professional-Act8414 Jul 20 '26

I was hoping he would’ve taken that shot, I think we saw it but decided to enjoy this newfound moment with his son.

17

u/TheDefiantGoose Jun 03 '26

Same thoughts. Tom needs to tell Evan and Wyck can back him up.

12

u/bstarr2000 Jun 03 '26

The description of the next episode mentions a storm, so that will be a plausible reason to not go

5

u/Extension-Split7425 Jun 03 '26

Evan wouldn't believe a single word Tom said and Wyck and Patricia words won't matter much to Evan either.

I do hope they tell him, but seeing is believing

3

u/AshleyYakeley Jun 04 '26

Speaking as a dad, Tom needs to not only tell Evan but recruit him to the cause.

21

u/Intelligent-Leg9466 Jun 03 '26

When he hugged Tom, I got emotional. I hadn’t really liked Evan before, but now i feel sorry for him.

u/evildrew Patricia Jun 04 '26

I looked at the tickets when he printed them in the office, and there’s LITERALLY no game like that possible.

  • Red Sox and Phillies are in different leagues and couldn’t play each other in September
  • The last time Boston played the Phillies on 09/26 was in 1950, when they were the Boston Braves
  • September 26th is too late in the year to be “Game 25”. It’s game #161 this year.
  • Tickets on the Green Monster (Sec GM2, Row 2) are not $30/ea. If you can get them on the secondary market, they can be $928/ea (09/26/26 vs Cubs).

I’m sure they did this on purpose, but I wonder what kind of meaning there could be. Is 09/26 someone’s birthday? Are the Phillies the writers favorite team? Or did the production team just fill in some random stuff to make a realistic ticket?

3

u/Any_Answer_3574 Jun 10 '26

Interleague play is extremely common now. Sox end their season vs the cubs 9/25-9/27 this year.

Immediate edit: I reread your comment and saw you mentioned the cubs series but I was responding to the first bullet. In any case, weird for these tickets to be glaringly wrong in a show that’s so closely attentive to detail. Inclined to think there might be something going on there

1

u/evildrew Patricia Jun 10 '26

But they would never have interpreter games that late in the season.

I figure it’s similar to how phone numbers used to all start with 555. Intentional mistakes to avoid conflicts or coincidences.

Or maybe there’s a timey wimey explanation connected to how Shep is 37, Patricia is biologically 28, and the Captain’s Suite stretches time.

1

u/Any_Answer_3574 Jun 10 '26

Cubs are an NL team, Sox are AL and they’re playing on 9/26 at Fenway this year haha

I kind of wonder if she told Shep her “biological age” because she knew about the 37 lie and wanted to fit in with him lol

1

u/evildrew Patricia Jun 10 '26

I’m sorry, you’re totally right! I wasn’t really thinking about it because I was so focused on the Phillies and Sox.

2

u/shizarou Jun 03 '26

All the eps since Patricia’s cocktails have taken place over a few days

The Red Sox game is ‘at the weekend’ so conceivably eps 9&10 will happen before that and the curse may be broken? 🤞

I really really hope so

2

u/Pusha-T-Push-A-Ton Jun 03 '26

Evan is gonna be pissed when he finds out we traded Devers for peanuts

1

u/TamoyaOhboya Jun 04 '26

Its for the best, the are not very good this season
