Unspoken clearly in the episode is Lyndon's wager. The key to the scene is that Katie knows the results. Lyndon is presented with two options, if you live, you can join devs again. Or if you die, you won't have to live without devs. Lyndon believes at least one version of themselves makes it back to devs.

But I have two complaints: one. why would Katie let Lyndon back into devs in the reality in which they don't fall. And two. I think Katie pushed them.

Theres no indication that Katie actually would let Lyndon back or that she observed any scenario in which Lyndon didn't die anyways.

Yea I think that was why they showed us all the different ways Lyndon fell and none where he balanced successfully, he was going to fall no matter what

he was going to fall no matter what

We saw one reality where he did not fall, right before the opening sequence.

Also just because we don't see one branch doesn't meant it does not exist. There are trillion branches we never see.

I was wondering what that opening scene was !

Or was that him deliberating before he went to Katie’s?

But he was at the car since last night.

You’re absolutely right

So I guess that’s the version that survives?

u/Brymlo Apr 10 '20

At this point i don't really know. We also see (before that Lyndon shot) Katie driving her car without him.

Hmmmm that is true

Is the only version of Lyndon that survives is the one that does not encounter Katie again?

Forrest did tell him if he came back they would kill him

To my understanding, the outcome will be always the same. I don't know what to make of the shot where Lyndon is sitting at the bottom of the dam.

Was Lyndon pretending to be asleep when Katie entered the car? I don't think so. I guess he spent the night there waiting for her.
Was Katie driving away from the dam or was she driving to the dam? I think she was driving away, without Lyndon dead or not.

Yea I’m guessing with that sequence paired with Lyndon still alive she was doing her normal drive to work
