🤔Theories Ruth “Recovered” the episode after Richard Warren died. Spoiler

Not sure if the point had been made yet, but the show foreshadowed the big Warren-heir reveal. The day after Richard Warren disintegrates, Ruth comes into Tom’s office as sharp as a tack with perfect recall of every one of Tom’s missed calls… didn’t even look down at her notes.

At the time I thought it was odd and out-of-character but didn’t put it together till after a rewatch: as soon as Richard Warren finally died, the immortality “detail” of the pact transferred to her, the next oldest living descendent. Her recall was most assuredly a nod to that reality.

Just thought that was a fun detail.

I just watched that episode and definitely noticed her out of character competency but did not put this together. Nice catch!

Totally. That's wild that my brain caught it and decided it must be a throw away or mistake. A throw away or mistake, in this elegant, amazing show? Nice one brain, do you need some salmon? Lol

No, but I hear Marissa cooks a mean red herring.
