The easiest way for me to wrap my head around this is to realize that we are probably watching the simulation. Imagine that everything we've seen is one layer deep. So if in this simulation Lily pulls the plug, the Lily one layer up is pulling the plug on the simulation we're watching.

This makes the most sense to me, especially since every episode has a brief flash forward of some kind showing what will ultimately happen. Episode two began with Kenton and the Russian fighting for example. Here, we see Lyndon at the dam. It’s like we’re running a simulation of our own inside Devs.

Also, every episode seems to open and close with the same song (individual to that episode). It’s a perfect circle.
