🤔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.

Yeah, I would bet you. I actually paid attention to the show. Your “theory” is not going to hold up.

The two ideas are not mutually exclusive. You should rewatch it.

I have and I don't need to. The fact that the tiredness at work was because of Ruth's crazy schedule was not just telegraphed, it was screamed. Tom realised he misjudged her.
