I really don’t know! The show can be so optimistic and inspiring at times and then so filled with sudden, shocking violence. My hope would be that since we’ve seen them suffering, the show will save them from even more, but of course there’s no real probability either way. Another plus in the optimistic column is that they showed them together before and after one of the longest timeskips, indicating they’re an actual relationship instead of something convenient.
But they’re still in the very center of a time that was horrible for them. Ellen was going to lead a mission soon, she’s so in the public eye, her reputation matters. She and Larry may end up marrying, for both their sakes. But we’re only a few timeskips away from when it’s going to be an especially scary time for Larry. I don’t know what the show will do.
I thought it was weird we didn’t get any of Molly or Wayne Cobb in the last ep! Molly was instrumental to finding the water that got them the lab and then disappeared? I hope they do pop up again and lol, yes, he’d be one of the people who’d immediately get what was going on.
