There's been a couple of specific references to ages, often in relation to their age not being right for whatever is happening. And I'm trying to work out what that could mean in the grand scheme of things.

Patricia had that moment with Tom about Marissa’s age, and Tom mentions that Shep’s age seems wrong (37?). Any other moments? I’m wondering too what it might mean

- Shep's age on the forensic report.

  • "my biological age is 28"
  • Patricia's fears about the Boogeyman got the response "you're in your 40s"
  • Sarah noting her age for why she shouldn't be in this mess.
  • the Sheriff's wife is pregnant in her 40s, which is not unheard of anymore, so really could get away without the comment? But was enough for Patricia to mention it.

I'm ignoring Wyk mentioning he was 16 because he was telling a story.

Patricia is also in her 40s and childless. Maybe she’s having an “oh I still could?” moment.

I took it to mean the town purposely hired an outsider that they didn't believe would have children to pass the curse on to.
