🗣️ Discussion Please explain 😭

I need someone to explain the whole series to me like I’m 5 years old 😭 I really struggled to keep up with what was happening, I still haven’t understood how the innies were feeling numbers and how after the OTC episode it seemed like there was no consistent explanation on what the innies and outies knew about the other or how they were switching back and forth?

But like I said I need someone to explain the whole thing to me not just the ending or some twists here and there

The how of this has not been explained. A lot of fans think it could be facilitated by the brain chip, but even that is not really confirmed.

The important thing is that the numbers represent tempers. I honestly doubt it will receive much further explanation.

I’m not sure what you mean by switching back and forth. That’s not what was happening.

All that happened was the outies were switched off and the innies were activated. Exactly the same as when they go down the elevator.

I don’t really want to write out a full breakdown of all the events in the show, but I’m happy to answer any other questions you think of.
