I JUST WATCHED THE PREMIERE, LIVE, FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. but of course, it was so sad.... And of course, as a fan, I already have a theory, so SPOILER ALERT THIS IS VERY VERY BIG SPOILER Ok so my theory, is kinda small, but its that Able/Abel and the whole exit was actually real, and when pomni glitched up to the office, able/abel didn't go with her obviously, and caine found out about their plan, captured able, locked him up or killed him, and made a copy to trick them into thinking it was all fake so they wouldn't try again. IT WAS REAL GUYS!!! also poor jax, he almost abstracted... but pomni saved him accidentally so, yummy for the shippers!!! Also, when Caine realized they could possibly escape, he infiltrated Jax's head and put pictures of a random, boring looking place to make Jax think the circus is better than the real world, so he could guarantee that Jax pressed the red button. He must've picked jax because he was the closest to abstraction, and he puts pressure on the ones who are the closest, just like with Scratch, the first abstraction. AHHHHHHHHHH
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS. I MADE UNOFFICIAL MERCH AND COUNTDOWNS, AND TOLD ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT IT, AND I SCREAMED SO LOUD WHEN THE COUNTDOWN OFFICIALLY STARTED. BUT I COUNTED DOWN FOR 14 HOURS TO GET THAT DEPRESSING EPISODE AND I AM SO SAD OH MY GOD.
