Killjoys – 5×10

I always knew that Johnny was leaving. “Leaving” is a really loaded word, and I wish I had a more nuanced one because Johnny’s coming back. There’s no doubt in my mind that Johnny’s coming back. 

I really like the idea that when John comes back, they are all going to sit in the new bar, and have the same drinks, but Johnny is going to be telling these amazing stories, and they’ll have a few of their own about what crazy shit he’s missed, and they’ll all be newly charmed with one another. What he gets up to over that year is unwritten. Maybe he brings back Clara and the Hackmods and convinces Aneela to make the Quad a safe zone for them and their rebellion. Maybe he comes back and starts something up with the Warden, professionally and personally.  Hell, maybe D’avin and Dutch break up and John returns to sweep her off her feet Officer & A Gentleman style, for those who are determined to see that ending. Anything fans want to picture or put into fan fiction, they’re certainly entitled to do. Here’s the only thing I’d say is canon: Johnny Jaqobis is safe and he is happy and he is coming the fuck home.
