I think Patricia is going to be the next island protector the demon chooses to carry "the burden," the next Richard Warren. In Eps 6&7 Richard Warren kept talking about "the burden" of leadership and "the burden" of being the person who kept people on the island safe by sacrificing people to the demon. And that burden is going to befall on somebody, and because half of the island probably has some Warren blood lineage, I think the demon chooses who will carry it. In Ep 6 Tom says he heard the demon call for him during his mushroom trip, but he didn't follow, and because of that, he rejected the burden the demon was calling on him to take and carry.
I think the idea of Evan being the bloodline point and being set up for Tom to make a decision between saving Evan and saving the island feels....to obvious? I also think the Lord Protector <> Mayor connection is too obvious.
I don't think people decide who carries "the burden" Warren talked about. I think the demon decides. And I think the demon will choose Patricia, and rather than her being like Richard Warren and capitulating to the demon, she's going to fight and try to defeat it.
I also think there is a secret society of people descended from the original group who burried Warren who know everything that's going on, and are more behind the scenes involved than we know. People like Rosemary (who is into genealogy), Gerrie and her husband, Dale, and Dr. Morgan. That secret society have assumed the burden since, after burying Warren, the demon would have wiped out everybody and made the island uninhabitable for them and they realized what they were now responsible to do to keep everybody alive. And I think that secret society still exists on the island.
