Anyone got any theories on where the final episode is headed? 

I personally buy into the SOMA theory for the show. I think all the characters are just virtual copies made by the VR headset, so they're never going to be able to get out. It tracks with the fact that there's a "brainscans" folder where the humans are stored in .dat files, it makes sense with Scratch having had a brain tumor since he'd want to scan himself to live forever, and the way Kinger reacted to Abel by saying it doesn't make sense that they could get out, all points to them being virtual copies.

It'd be a pretty dark ending but honestly that fits with the show.

That said, I'm curious what other theories people have

@Rusty I think it also tracks with the themes set up with the stuff around Gummigoo. The point of that episode is that just because these NPCs are artificial and in a sense "not real" doesn't mean that they matter less. Pomni&co. are assumed to actually matter by virtue of being our protagonists, so having the reveal that they actually are also just as "virtual" as the NPCs now would further solidify that thesis. If they got out that would kinda undermine it because then it would look like they mattered because they're at least at some point "physical" and therefore the experiences in the circus matter because they are remembered by a "physical human".

@zvavybir The fact that they deleted Caine does seem to indicate that they matter at least a little bit though  The fact that they were able to change a supposedly unchanging world means that they do matter more than the themes of the plot would initially indicate. So I'm very curious where they go from here.
