Weve been in a simulation all along!
Well, not we we, more we the characters on1899.
Am I living in Platos Cave right now or have I just gotten way too deep into this show?
I think we all know the answer to that.
I love this journey for us and I love it for these characters.
In other words: How do we know if our reality is actually reality?
The passengers and crew of theKerebossure didnt.
Thats where they were!
Daniel hears wake up and he comes to on the floor of room 1011 in Mauras mental hospital memory.
Even within the first few minutes of this episode, there are tons of questions.
There are still lots of questions1899has yet to answer.
Anyway, my brain hurts and were just getting started.
He realizes he can pry pop pop the hull of the ship and move around that way.
The inside of it is just a nest of wires definitely not ship-like!
Its a maze leading to different portals and doorways, just like the shafts.
(Ill never get over how cool that visual effect is and I never want to!)
Finally, Daniel lands where he wants: In Mauras memory, but outside of the hospital.
Its a room within a memory room.
This simulation knows no bounds!!
He wants to free his mother from it he wants his mother to remember him.
Daniel assures him theres still hope, but that no, he hasnt yet found the code or Maura.
If he can get his unit back which Maura still has he thinks he can stop it.
A lot of cardio for this guy today.
All this time, Mauras been back on the boat looking for Eyk.
This of course means she finds herself walking into Daniels memory.
Shes in their bedroom, which surely looks strange to someone whose brain thinks shes from 1899.
More alarming: She sees a table full of family photos: her and Daniel and the boy.
When Daniel realizes where she is, he comes to her side.
Thats impossible because the doctors told her that she could never have children, she says.
Its a false memory, he explains.
So, like, Elliot is definitely dead right?
Finally, he lays it on her: Shes trapped in here.
All of them are.
They dont realize theres something making those shadows andthatis what is actually real.
They dont even think to question it.
No pressure or anything, Maura girl!
Im getting the sneaking suspicion that Maura may have been the architect of this simulation.
By this point, the first mate has located Elliot and his pyramid and brought them both to Henry.
Daniel has put up a valiant fight, but he has failed.
Everyone will die and the simulation will start again, as planned.
God, Henry is so high key with his drama.
Anyway, Daniel has one last idea.
He tells Maura to trust him and that he loves her.
He gives her back her wedding ring and hes off.
I feel a little bad that I was rooting so hard for his wife and the captain to hump.
Heres how you know the people behind 1899 know what theyre doing.
Its happened dozens of times already.
Im not going to leave you.
The storm rages on until a giant whirlpool forms (like the one from the premiere!)
and creates a tunnel in the water for the Kerberos to travel through.
And what do you think is on the other side of that tunnel?
Will Maura venture to convince them all that everything they see is a lie?
Will any of them believe her?
So, yeah, I guess theres a few ways we could interpret the books appearance on theKerberos!!
Franz sacrifices himself to close one of the bulkheads and keep the water from rushing onto the ship.
Thats what makes them weak.
Human natures ultimate flaw.
Dont base a choice on love, anger, hate.
Theyre just silly feelings that cloud the mind.
Wow, this guy is the worst.
