This video will recap all the events of Dark Season 3, so needless to say, it's going to be full of spoilers. There's also a lot to cover, so feel free to use the chapter markers in the description to jump around to key moments in the season. With that, let's get started. It is June 27th, 2020, and Winden, a small German town, is the epicenter of the apocalypse. Jonas watches as the love of his life, Marta, dies from a bullet wound inflicted moments earlier by his older self. While his world collapses, Jonas looks up to find another Marta, apparently from another world. Before they are engulfed by the apocalypse, this new Marta transports them to her world. Jonas finds himself in the all-too-familiar Winden Cave and demands answers. Who is this woman wearing Marta's face? She simply tells him, today is the day it all began, the day we first met. That you and I, your world and my world, form a knot that is inextricably intertwined. Marta promises to make things right before disappearing and leaving a confused Jonas behind. With nowhere else to go, Jonas heads to what should be his home. However, in this world, the small red house belongs not to the Conwolds, but to the Nielsen's. In the home, Jonas sees a family photo of Marta with her mother and two brothers. Marta's father, Ulrich, has been removed from the photo. Just like in Jonas' world, Ulrich cheated on his wife, Katarina, with Jonas' mother, Hannah. However, in this world, he eventually left his wife to marry his mistress, who is now pregnant. And also the victim of an affair. Ulrich's new mistress is fellow police officer, Charlotte Doppler. Seeking some sense of familiarity, Jonas races upstairs to what should be his bedroom. Instead, he finds Marta's room. On the wall, Jonas sees a photo of Marta with their mutual friend Bartosz and another boy, Kylian Obendorf. In this world, Marta is dating Kylian, the missing boy Eric's older brother. Still lost in this strange world, Jonas seeks another possible source for answers and heads to his and Marta's school. Claiming to be a student, Jonas takes a seat behind Marta. As Jonas sits, he remembers the blood on his hands. Blood from the Marta of his world, a Marta that is currently lying dead on his kitchen floor. After class, he approaches Marta, but she does not recognize him and has no answers to offer. Jonas has met this world's Marta from an earlier time. She has not yet become the Marta that will rescue him and leave him alone in the Wyndon Cave. Kylian Obendorf, Marta's boyfriend, calls her away. From their concerned teacher, Jonas learns that today is November 4th, 2019. On his world, this is the day Jonas's friend Mikkel inadvertently traveled to 1986 and grew up to become Jonas's father, Michael Kahnwald. However, approaching Marta again later, Jonas learns that she's never heard of a Michael Kahnwald. In his world, Michael would have taken his own life months earlier, but even at the cemetery, Jonas finds no mention of him. Perhaps Jonas is here on this world to ensure Mikkel never disappears to begin with. That would explain why Michael Kahnwald does not appear to exist. In Jonas's world, on this day, he and his friends went to the cave in search of Erik Obendorf's drug stash. Tonight, in this world, they will do the same. However, the search will be led by Kylian, and instead of drugs, they will be looking for clues pertaining to his younger brother's disappearance. In 1987, in Jonas's home world, the retired nuclear plant director Bernd Doppler is visited by a trio of strange men. They are all the same man at different ages. Thanks to time travel, the three can coexist. They demand the nuclear plant's master key from an unsettled Mr. Doppler.  In 2019, in Marta's world, it is evening. Jonas intercepts Marta in the woods by wind and cave. He tells her they know each other in another time. He tells her she's seen all this before, deja vu, a glitch in the matrix, he says. This stirs something in Marta just before the others arrive. All Jonas needs to do is make sure Mikkel does not end up in the cave and therefore does not travel through time. However, Jonas is surprised to see that although Magnus is here, his younger brother Mikkel stayed home. There's no danger of Mikkel disappearing. So why is Jonas here? Once again at a loss, Jonas heads back to the Nielsen's residence, leaving Marta, Killian and the rest to explore the wind and cave on their own.  As they run, Marta is momentarily separated from the group and in the woods sees a vision of herself covered in a black liquid, perhaps cesium, the substance which makes time travel possible. She catches up with her friends and the group heads to the Doppler family bunker for safety. Throughout the town, lights flicker and dead birds rain from the sky. At the Nielsen residence, Jonas visits the room where his father hanged himself. In it, he finds Mikkel safely asleep. Jonas looks up at a beam which on his world proved sturdy enough to hold the noose and an older Mikkel going by the name Michael Conwald. At the bunker, while catching their breaths, Marta and her friends see a portal open in front of them. Out of it falls the body of a child. On the body, Marta finds an ID with the name Mads Nielsen, her father Ulrich's younger brother, the boy who went missing 33 years earlier in 1986. Leaving the Nielsen home, Jonas is greeted outside by an older woman. She's been waiting for this moment a long time. For you to come back, she tells Jonas. She explains that in this world, Mikkel never travels back in time and never grows up to become Jonas's father. In this world, Jonas does not exist. However, this world is just as doomed as his because of you, she says, and me. Jonas realizes he has just met an older Marta, aged by 66 years. Meanwhile, a much younger Marta, one who recently rescued Jonas and left him in a cave, is visiting 1888. At the townhouse machine factory, she finds a middle-aged Jonas. After saving Magnus, Francesca and Bartosz from the apocalypse, Jonas inadvertently transported them to 1888. With no cesium remaining, Jonas has no choice but attempt to recreate time travel so they can return home. He has been attempting to do so since their arrival. After witnessing her die decades earlier, Jonas is shocked to see a living, breathing Marta. But she is not his Marta. She is from another world and tells Jonas that she is here to help him find the origin, the beginning of everything that went so wrong in your world, she says, and mine. That night, Marta is haunted by recent memories and wakes to find Jonas staring at her. He tells her to get changed, she does, then joins Jonas and company in the laboratory. Magnus is shocked to see his sister alive, while Bartosz and Francesca are equally surprised. However, Jonas quickly breaks the spell by telling them she isn't Marta.  Marta goes on to explain some of the differences between their worlds. In her world, Mikkel does not travel back in time. Jonas does not exist and Francesca is mute. However, Jonas is not interested in these details right now. Instead, he demands to know how Marta knew where to find them. Her answer doesn't make sense. Jonas told me, she says, Francesca points out, I thought Jonas didn't exist in your world. He traveled there from your world to mine, Marta replies. Jonas has no memory of ever traveling to Marta's world.  As Jonas demands answers but receives none, they are interrupted by Gustav Tonhaus, grandfather to H.G. Tonhaus. Although blind, Gustav senses a visitor is present. Jonas storms off as Gustav approaches Marta and surmises she is the reason Jonas is particularly upset today. Later, Bartos visits Marta and apologizes on Jonas's behalf. He has not been himself since their arrival in 1888. Bartos explains that they are stranded as the device is empty and he says it's not that easy to get nuclear fuel from the future in 1888. Marta has questions about what they are working on in the lab. Rather than answer directly, Bartos asks her to follow him. Bartos takes her through a doorway above which is written Sykmundus creatus est. He has taken her to a secret lodge used by a group of which Tonhaus is the last surviving member. Tonhaus and his father as part of this group dedicated their lives to overriding the rules of space and time. This room will one day become Adam's base of operations. Jonas is trying to arrange things the way he saw them in the future when he met Adam here. After explaining all this, Bartos asks Marta an important question. Who is Adam? Marta, surprised that Jonas hasn't already told them, reveals to Bartos that Jonas himself is Adam. While Jonas has stranded in 1888, his biological grandmother is visiting 1987. Katarina, after crawling through the Winden Tunnel in 2020, now finds herself three decades earlier. In a search for her missing son, Mikkel, she visits the Conwald residence where Mikkel lives with his adoptive mother, Enes. However, Katarina finds the home abandoned. She then visits the local school and hands out missing person flyers for her son. No one recognizes him until Katarina bumps into a young Ulrich, her future husband. He comments, maybe the madman got him after all. Katarina demands to know what he meant by that, but she receives no answer. After her future husband is whisked away by Katarina's younger self, she is helped by a young Hannah. She shares that Mikkel, really Mikkel, was briefly kidnapped by an escapee from the local institution who tried bringing Mikkel to the cave. Katarina realizes that the escapee must have been her husband Ulrich, trapped in time. After telling her husband's future mistress Hannah to keep her mitts off him and Mikkel, she takes off. At the police station, she pesters one of the men who works there. Why didn't he tell her about the man from the psychiatric ward? She demands to know. Growing tired of her constantly barging into the ward, demanding answers, he finally reveals that Mikkel and Ines Conwald are in hiding. Child protective services knows where he is. After the kidnapping, it was decided some time out was for the best. The madman is back in the closed ward where he's been for the last 34 years. The man reveals no other information before leaving Katarina. She heads to the institution where she is greeted by her mother, Helena Albers. Though Helena of course does not recognize her. However, she is moved when Katarina points out the St. Christopher necklace that she is wearing. Katarina says her mom had one just like it. Helena senses familiarity in Katarina and lets her in. Ulrich, after being stranded in 1953 and being held there for 34 years, is finally reunited with his wife. She promises to free him. While an older, time-traveling Ulrich is stuck in the institution, his younger brother Mads, still a child, is missing. In a failed attempt to find closure, the family buries an empty coffin. At the funeral, Mads and Ulrich's mother, Yana, announces that her husband, Tronta, was with Claudia Tiedemann. The night their son disappeared. He had been carrying on an affair with her before she herself disappeared. If only you'd put as much energy into finding your own son as you're wasting on finding your mistress. Then, maybe Mads would be back by now, she says. When Tronta feigns confusion, Yana drops the contents of his bag on the floor, showing newspaper articles and other artifacts he's collected in the search for Claudia. This young Tronta is of course unaware that she is currently stranded in 2020 in a post-apocalyptic wind-in. Tronta, sufficiently shamed, leaves the house. Continuing his search, Tronta visits Claudia's secretary, Jasmine, and asks about the days before her disappearance. She mentions that Claudia was visited by a strange older woman. Afterwards, the usually well-put-together Claudia seemed to grow sloppy and unhinged. Tronta and Jasmine are unaware that this older woman was an older Claudia, sending her younger self on a journey through time. On his drive home, Tronta sees Claudia's daughter Regina and offers her a ride. He asks if before her disappearance, Claudia said anything about him. Regina says no. Distantly, Tronta remarks, I just thought maybe she'd said something. Regina asks to be let out so she can walk the rest of the way. At the nuclear plant, Jasmine is getting ready to leave for the night when she is visited by the same trio that killed burned Doppler. Hell is empty and all the devils are here. The middle-aged man says before killing her. That evening, Tronta's wife, Yana, tells him that at some point he has to choose if he is for his family or not. Evading this ultimatum, Tronta mentions that he saw Regina today. In response, Yana shares an incomplete and uncomfortable thought. I've wondered all these years if she, Claudia, never said who the father was. You're right, Tronta says. I have to decide. He takes Yana's hand, seemingly rededicating himself to his family. 33 years in the future, in 2020, the missing Claudia is fending for herself in the post-apocalyptic Winden while taking care of an ill Regina. Claudia leaves her daughter to continue her work. In the bunker, she is mapping out the complicated ties between Winden's residents, trying to understand how everything is connected. She also leaves tape recordings where she theorizes that stabilizing the God particle could be a way to travel back in time, a way to save everyone. In 2053, these tape recordings will guide a young Jonas. While Claudia is away, her daughter Regina is left unattended. In older, Tronta pays her a visit. I'm so sorry, he says, but it has to happen. She said it's the only way to save you. He then smothers her with a pillow. The woman he believed to be his daughter is now dead by his hands. Navigating the same ravaged Winden, Peter brings his daughter Elizabeth to the containment zone around the nuclear plant, while a young Noah follows. Inside, they search for Peter's wife Charlotte and his daughter Francisca among the many photos of dead bodies discovered in the town's wreckage. They are unsuccessful. Optimistically, Peter says this means they may still be alive. Elizabeth wonders if maybe they travel through time and that's why they are gone. Continuing their search, Peter and Elizabeth head to Jonas's home. Peter heads upstairs, leaving Elizabeth alone. Noah reveals himself and approaches Elizabeth. He's looking for food, he says. Doubting his ability to understand sign language, Elizabeth writes on a scrap of paper that she is looking for her mom and sister. Then she asks Noah where he sleeps. He writes cave. Peter returns. He is angry to see Noah. We want nothing to do with you, he says. Before leaving, Noah ominously tells Peter, you want to protect her, I know. So do I and I will after you were killed. Back at their trailer, Elizabeth demands to know what Noah said at the house. Peter, looking to protect his daughter's innocence, says nothing. Frustrated, Elizabeth insists she is no longer a child. She wants to know why Peter carries the trichetra notebook everywhere. She wants to know where her mother and sister are. Peter promises that they'll find them. Young Jonas, still stranded in another world, has been brought to Older Marta's lair. She ruminates on the illusion of free will as she walks towards the Adam and Eve painting on her wall. Beneath it is a winden family tree etched into her marble floor. She explains that things in this world do not happen in the same way or at the same time as in Jonas's world, but they happen nonetheless. Most importantly, the apocalypse happens too. In just three days, about seven months ahead of Jonas's, this Marta's world will end. In 1888, in Jonas's home world, Gustav Tonhouse is on his way into town to send a telegram informing the world that time travel is real. After his father spent a lifetime trying to prove as much, Gustav met Jonas and saw it was all true. He holds a pocket watch labeled for Charlotte and a copy of the play Ariadne in his hands. His trip is brought to a stop by the trio, the same unknown man that killed Bernd Doppler and Jasmine. Gustav Tonhouse meets a similar fate. After the unknown man informs him that they will not allow a word of time travel to spread, he kills Tonhouse. At the Tonhouse Machine Factory, Bartos has just learned that Jonas is Adam. He angrily confronts Jonas, demanding he tell Magnus and Francisco the truth, that he tells them who really killed Marta. Jonas tries to evade confrontation and leave, but Bartos follows him and they fight. Magnus breaks up the fight and Bartos reveals the truth. Jonas is to blame for everything. It's him. He's Adam. Bartos shouts. He is Adam. Later, Jonas visits Marta and asks why he has no memory of visiting her in her world. She does not know. She also claims not to have written the letter Jonas received from Noah, who claimed it was written by Marta. After the questioning, it's Marta's turn. She asks what Sigmundus is. Jonas explains that it was a movement Tonhouse's father was a part of. He hoped to create time travel and bring his wife back from the dead. He believed time travel would bring salvation, but Jonas says it only brings damnation. Marta tells Jonas that she wants him to trust her. As a show of faith, she brings him to where she buried her time travel device. From it, she gives Jonas the last of her cesium to assist in his experiments. She claims that by doing so, she's given up her ticket back home. While Jonas reruns the experiment, briefly stabilizing the God particle, Marta leaves. She lied. This was not the last of her cesium. She uses some of her remaining stores to transport to another time, leaving Jonas behind. A younger Jonas, still in Marta's world, continues listening to an older Marta's ruminations. She and Jonas are Adam and Eva, she says, and he is here to save both of their worlds. However, if he wants to accomplish this and get his Marta back, he'll have to play his part in turning this world's young Marta into Eva. The older Marta that stands before him.  With his new mission accepted, Jonas leaves. Afterward, the trio arrive in Eva's lair. They hand over the spoils of the recent murders. The pocket watch, the Ariadne play, the nuclear plant master key, and a diagram of the nuclear plant's volume control system. The middle-aged man says, you could have told him which path you were sending him down, how it will end. Marta replies, he will never stop trying to break this cycle. He'll never understand that we must preserve the knot, that his Marta has to die, so all the others can live. At the police station, this world's Ulrich gives his team a rundown on the unidentified body discovered at the bunker. He is not ready to believe that it is his younger brother's corpse transported from 1986 to 2019. However, as he lists belongings found on the child, he finally breaks down before mentioning the ID that was found, the one with his brother's name on it. Charlotte asks Woeller to finish the meeting and escorts Ulrich to the evidence room where he can gather himself. There, Ulrich reveals his theory that whoever kidnapped his brother held onto his belongings for 33 years and planted them on this boy. Then, he tells Charlotte that he became a cop so he could do a better job than the drunken moron that botched the case of his missing brother 33 years earlier. However, he's just as bad, Ulrich realizes. His marriage is ruined and he is cheating on the woman he cheated on his wife with. I can't do this anymore, he tells Charlotte. Later, Ulrich's current wife, Hannah, suspecting an affair comes to the station to investigate. She already ruled out Ulrich's ex-wife, Katerina, as the culprit. However, getting close to Charlotte, she matches Charlotte's scent to Ulrich's sweatshirt and it becomes convinced she is the mistress. In her vindictive way, Hannah visits the nuclear plant director, Alexander Tiedemann, who is currently mourning the loss of his wife, Regina. She was taken by cancer. For 33 years, Hannah has held onto evidence proving Alexander is living under a stolen identity.  Meanwhile, Charlotte conducts her own investigation into the Doppler bunker where the unidentified body was discovered. There, she finds something strange. A coin on a red cord, which, at a glance, seems identical to the one her father-in-law Helga wears. As she questions her husband, Peter, about his father, they are interrupted by a call from the police. Apparently Helga has confessed to killing the child. At the station, Peter and Charlotte find Helga repeating over and over that he killed the boy. As Charlotte and Peter question him, Ulrich arrives in a fury. He believes Helga killed his brother. Helga provides no clear answers but seems shocked to see Ulrich alive. Then levies a vague accusation at Ulrich, saying, it was you. At first, he is frightened, but then grows angry, shouting, it was you. He holds up his coin while Charlotte looks at the one she found in the bunker. That night, Ulrich's daughter Marta has her own bizarre encounter. Earlier in the day, Ulrich asked Marta if it was possible that her boyfriend, Killian, slipped her and her friends some drugs, something which would explain the bizarre event they witnessed in the bunker. Although Marta was adamant they saw what they saw, she begins to have her doubts and pays Killian a visit. He is offended by the accusation and realizes his suspicions of her were right all along. You were only with me to rile up your parents, Killian says. As she leaves, Marta encounters Jonas in the woods.  Actually, we've always known each other, Jonas says. He slowly approaches as he shares memories from Marta's past. The time Magnus knocked her tooth out in kindergarten, or her third grade field trip where Marta got so homesick her mother had to pick her up. Jonas concludes by saying, where I come from, you and I have the same past.  I know that you saw yourself last night in the forest. Jonas says, her future self told him this. Beginning to believe, Marta follows Jonas so he can show her how everything is connected. Through the cave and into the tunnels, Jonas takes her to a familiar metal door. Though, rather than sick Mundus creatus est, this one says Eric Luke's, or there will be light. On the other side, they find themselves in 2052 greeted by a post-apocalyptic wind in. She told me to take you here, Jonas says, that she'd explain it to you. Then a middle-aged Marta arrives and welcomes them to the future. In 1954, on Jonas' home world, a young Tranta Nielsen, Ulrich's father, walks alone by the wind and cave. There, he is approached by the unknown man, traveling as a trio. You've grown, Tranta. He says as though he's known Tranta for a long time. The man claims to have known Tranta's mother, Agnes, long ago. When Tranta asks who he is, the man says he was never given a name, though he is the one that chose Trantas. The man hands Tranta a bracelet that belonged to his mother, a mother who has been missing for some time. Tranta leaves. He is unsure but suspects he just met his father. Later, Tranta sits alone at the lake in contemplation. He is approached by Janna and the two open up to one another. Tranta never knew his father, but his mom always said he's a bad person. Janna asks what it was like growing up in a home. Words are unnecessary as Tranta shows the cigarette burns on his arm. He says he doesn't even want to know if the man from this morning is his dad and he's glad his mom is gone. They are interrupted by Claudia's arrival. Tranta leaves his future wife's side to hold hands with his future mistress. In another part of town, the trio continues their work. They approach a government official currently refusing to provide Mr. Doppler with the building permit he needs to finish construction on the nuclear plant. After some persuasion, the man signs the document. Jonas' mother, Hannah, having escaped from her life in 2020, is enjoying a new one in 1954. She is going by the name Katarina, stolen from her rival, and carries on an affair with a young Egon Tiedemann. However, both seem to have unique desires from the relationship. I love you, Egon says. Hannah simply responds with a smile. Attempting to maintain romance, Egon gifts Hannah with a St. Christopher necklace. The same one Katarina's mother wears in 1987. Egon's wife, meanwhile, missing her own mistress Agnes, Tranta's mother, comes to the police station with some potential evidence. Agnes went missing at the same time as the local minister, Hannah Tauber. Before disappearing, Agnes mentioned her husband was a man of God, and in her things, Doris found a handkerchief with the letters H.T. on it. Could this Hannah Tauber be her husband? And could he have stolen her away? This would be worrying, as Agnes said her husband was a bad man. A bitter Egon offers no support or answers. Doris goes to the church to investigate. However, inside she finds Agnes's true husband, the trio. She asks if they might have information on the missing minister or Agnes. She feigns concern for Tranta, saying she's hoping to track down the boy's mother. However, the trio knows her real interest lies in the woman herself, saying the ways of the heart cannot be explained. It does what it wants. Just ask your husband. The man then tells her that Egon, her husband, is having an affair. Meanwhile, Egon gets some startling news. Hannah visits a doctor and learns she is pregnant. She informs Egon, but he does not handle the news well. This embitteres Hannah, who says, I thought you were harmless. But you're all the same.  Later, before Egon and Hannah permanently part ways, she lets him know that she won't be keeping the baby, and that she's come to the realization that she does not need anyone. Something an older Jonas told her just before she left 2020. Egon leaves her some money and a note on where to find Mrs. Obendorf, someone who can help terminate the pregnancy. At Mrs. Obendorf's, Hannah meets a young girl who is there for the same services. My mother says they go to hell, the ones that are gotten rid of, the girl says.  The girl introduces herself as Helena Albers. When Hannah introduces herself as Catarina, Helena comments that it's a very beautiful name. Hannah laughs, knowing she just planted the seed for Helena to eventually name her own daughter, Catarina. Helena then notices the St. Christopher necklace around Hannah's neck and says, a nice thought. Someone carrying us on our journey, someone watching over us. The exchange seems to stir something in Hannah, and she decides to keep the baby. After Helena is called into Mrs. Obendorf's office, Hannah leaves the necklace with Helena's things and goes. After losing his mistress, Egon loses a wife as well. At home, Doris tells him she wants a divorce. That night, Claudia and Tronta find Egon alone, drinking. When Claudia asks where her mother is, Egon simply replies, the way of the heart cannot be explained. It does what it wants, parroting what Doris told him earlier that day. Tronta tells Claudia to leave him and upstairs, the two get closer. In another world, in 2052, Jonas and Marta join an older Marta in a bunker. Inside, the older Marta has tracked the complicated Winden family tree with chalk. Young Marta notices names crossed out, and her older self explains that these are the people who will die. They will be victims of the apocalypse now just two days away. However, the older Marta says, both of you can stop the apocalypse if you stop the barrels from being opened at the nuclear plant. Then what? Jonas asks. Eva, Marta's older self, told him that he'd be able to bring his Marta back. Jonas wants to know when that part of the plan happens. The middle-aged Marta gives some bad news. Eva lied. Only one world can be saved. Not wanting to believe any of this, the younger Marta leaves. Before Jonas can follow her, middle-aged Marta makes an attempt at appealing to Jonas. This is exactly what you wanted. You and Marta. In this world, the two of you are not impossible. Jonas runs after Marta. He consoles her and explains that he knows exactly how she's feeling. He assures her that there's a way to straighten everything out, and he won't stop looking for it. As Jonas and Marta return to 2019, Marta's older self is visited by this world's Noah. He looks at the family tree where Jonas and Marta's names lead into the infinity symbol, joining both worlds. We are all born of him.  Him, Agnes, Tronta, Janna, Ulrich, Katerina, you. The infinity symbol represents Jonas and Marta's child, the trio. The unknown man and Agnes will birth Tronta. Tronta and Janna lead to Ulrich. Ulrich and Katerina lead to Marta. An endless cycle where Marta is the beginning and end of the family tree. She is her own great-great-grandmother. She is Eva. Her son plays an important role in the knot between both worlds. Not just as a biological link between them, but also someone who ensures that events in the cycle carry on as planned. In Eva's lair, he currently sits, offering the Trek Catcher Notebook, which guides so many across time and space in the town of Wyndon. In 2019, Jonas and Marta go to her home. Marta reveals that the moment they first met at school, she had a feeling like they knew each other, as though from a dream. She asks what Marta was like in Jonas' world. Then they kiss and make love. Another Marta, having just abandoned older Jonas, Magnus, Bartosha and Francisca in 1888, returns to Adam in 2053. It was Adam and Sick Mundus that sent her to 1888. And, as an older Magnus reveals, ordered her to provide younger Jonas with cesium before leaving him. Before Marta and Adam talk, Agnes says farewell to Silia, the girl who will soon become her mother. Magnus stabilizes the God particle and Agnes leaves. Afterward, Marta tells Adam she did what he asked and he must now hold up his end of the bargain. He is going to show her the origin. Adam takes Marta to his or Jonas' childhood home. In the room where, in Marta's world, she and Jonas consummated their relationship, Adam reveals she became pregnant. Her child is the origin, the bridge between both worlds. In 2020, Claudia Tiedemann buries her daughter Regina, who is just killed by Claudia's ex-lover, Tronta. She returns home to find a visitor, her counterpart from Eva's world. This other Claudia tells her not to trust Jonas. Jonas does not know it yet, but he will one day want to destroy the knot, and with it, both worlds. Eva wants to save both worlds. Claudia counters that Jonas said they saved the world by changing one small thing. That was a lie, the other Claudia says. In a positive feedback loop, Claudia's older self told Jonas this lie, who then told it to younger Claudia. Finally, the other Claudia hands this world's Claudia the Triketra Notebook, recently authored by The Trio. Everything she needs to know is in there. Before leaving, the visitor tells Claudia that she'll have to lead Jonas, Noah, and Elizabeth down the same path again and again to preserve the knot. Adam can never be allowed to untie it. Preserved in this endless cycle of events, both worlds can continue their existence, as bleak as it may be. Claudia, now part of Eva's cause, will preserve the knot in her world while this other Claudia does the same in hers.

Back to the recap. In 1987, a young Charlotte has an important conversation with H.G. Tonhouse, her grandfather. He reveals that he is not her biological grandfather and does not know who her parents are. His son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter were killed in a car accident years earlier. However, that same night, two strange women gave him Charlotte as a baby, along with a pocket watch engraved for Charlotte. Thrown for a loop, Charlotte leaves Tonhouse to sit at the bus stop. There, she meets a young Peter, who will be her husband 33 years later. He reveals that his mother died recently. Just before passing, she told Peter that his father was in Wyndon, which led him here. Later, he will find the Doppler residence with the hopes of finally meeting his father. Katarina, also in 1987, visits her husband at the institution, which has held him for 34 years. She tells him to wait at the entrance. I'll get you out of here tonight at 10, she says. Ulrich simply says, I'm sorry for everything. Neither of them are aware that this is the last time they will ever see each other. In order to free Ulrich, Katarina will need a key card, so she follows her mother home and threateningly brandishes a knife, demanding the card. In their struggle, Katarina slips calling this woman her mom. Disturbed by a grown woman claiming to be her daughter, Helena Albers runs. Katarina knocks Helena out with a rock. Thinking their struggle finished, she begins looking for the key card. Recovering quickly, Helena yells, the devil sent you. You're not real. As she kills the woman, she does not know is her daughter from the future. As Katarina dies, her hand uncurls, leaving behind the St. Christopher Medal. 32 years later, Magnus will tease his sister, Marcia, about a dead woman in the lake. They will not know they are speaking of their mother's corpse. Around the same time, Jonas and Marta will find her medal left behind and buried in the sand. Later, Ulrich will wait at the institution's entrance, just as Katarina told him to. In 2020, Elizabeth is sick of going with Peter to the containment site in search of her sister and her mother. They are dead, she insists. Leaving Peter, she goes back to the trailer alone, where she finds a strange man stealing from them. He overpowers and restrains her. Before he can do more, Peter arrives and attempts to stop him. Even with Elizabeth lending a hand, they are unable to stop the man from murdering Peter. Noah's prophecy that Peter will be killed is fulfilled. Full of rage, Elizabeth violently kills the stranger and with nowhere else to go, finds Noah at the cave. In 2053, Elizabeth now hardened by living decades in the post-apocalyptic world, prepares to enter the god particle with her mother, who is also her daughter, Charlotte. Before leaving, they tearfully say goodbye to Francesca, who is Elizabeth's sister and Charlotte's daughter.  However, as they climb through the nuclear plant's fence, Marta gets a scratch under her eye. The Marta that rescued Jonas had this same scratch. Realizing that this Marta is becoming the one he already met, Jonas concludes that they are changing nothing. They are simply retreading the same steps that will lead to this world's apocalypse. They're all lying. Jonas shouts before insisting they return to Eva and demand the truth. Before entering the cave, Marta asks Jonas what he will do if there really can be only one world. With Jonas remaining silent, Marta answers for him. You decided long ago you want to go back to your world. I didn't want any of this, Jonas says. Moving closer, Marta says, last night you didn't want that? Jonas says this is wrong and I'm wrong here before Marta tries to prove otherwise with a kiss. So this is wrong, huh? Marta asks. Jonas is, again, silent. Marta walks into the cave and Jonas follows. Back in Eva's lair, Jonas demands that he wants to go back to his world. Eva says there is no way back for him and repeats a monologue Jonas previously heard from Adam. A human being lives three lives. The first one ends with the loss of naivety, the second with the loss of innocence, and the third with the loss of life itself. Then Eva adds, yours ends here and now. The middle-aged Marta enters the room. You have accomplished what you were sent to this world for, Eva says. Marta exclaims that they've accomplished nothing. She said we have to stop the apocalypse. You'll understand when it's time, the middle-aged Marta says. Then another Marta enters the room, one with a fresh scar matching both her older self's faces. She tells Marta, I'm sorry. Then draws a gun and shoots Jonas. He dies in Marta's arms just as his Marta died in his. Before passing, Jonas hands her the St. Christopher necklace. I'll make this right. Marta promises. Jonas dies and Marta mourns over his body. Both in their rightful place at the center of two family trees, as Adam and Eva connecting both worlds. In Jonas' home world in 2020, moments before the apocalypse, Marta dies in his arms. Jonas is not rescued by a Marta from another world. He runs to the basement just before his house is engulfed by the apocalyptic force. These are the memories of a living Jonas, now 33 years older and surviving in 1888. Haunted by these memories, he wakes as though from a nightmare. Then he rereads the letter supposedly written by Marta, handed to Jonas by a young Noah. Dear Jonas, you promised to make everything right again. I want you to know you will do that. You must never lose hope that there is a way out of this maze, a way to save me and you. But we both have to make sacrifices, do unimaginable things, to untie the knot at the end. Each fate in this knot is tied to the next, a thread, red like blood that connects all our deeds, in light and in shadow. But the apocalypse must take place.  We have to let some things go before they find their way back to us. We are a perfect match. Never believe anything else. Jonas burns the letter. On Marta's world, mere hours remain until the apocalypse. Charlotte, in her investigation of the unidentified body, finds that Helga's penny and the one in the bunker are identical. She tells Ulrich that a microscopic investigation shows that somehow they are one and the same. Beginning to believe the truth, Ulrich races to the morgue and looks at the unidentified body. The boy has a scar on his chin. Just like Ulrich's brother, he realizes that this is in fact Mads. His younger brother was somehow killed and his body transported from 1986 to 2019. Ulrich interrogates Helga, who sputters, she said I had to do it, send him to the future to fill the gaps. He also says that he must stop Ulrich. Not quite understanding, Ulrich lets Helga go but follows him into the cave and into the tunnels. In 2053, in Jonas's world, after being told her future child is the origin, Marta is held captive by Adam. He tells her how he realized that paradise is really eternal darkness in which nothing exists. But for that, the apocalypse must happen in my world and in yours. Then, as he did with Agnes, Charlotte, and Elizabeth, Adam sends Francisca and Magnus into the God Particle to fill more gaps to ensure events occur as they must. So Adam and Marta end up in all other pieces land where they must for this plan to succeed. Another Marta, still in her world, returns home after witnessing Jonas's death. As she scrubs blood from her hands, she bumps into her brother Magnus. He comforts her and chides her for worrying their mother. Then, struggling to get Jonas's blood out of her hair, she cuts much of it off, taking one step closer to becoming the Marta that rescued Jonas before the apocalypse, or the one that killed him. After a heart-to-heart with her mother, Marta leaves to stop the apocalypse. At the Tiedemann home, Alexander comes clean to his son about his past. He tells Bartosz that his real name is Boris. 33 years ago, he accidentally killed a man, and to avoid justice took the man's identity to become Alexander. Bartosz asks if his mother knew. She is the best thing that ever happened to him. She saved me from all that, he says, and I never even told her the truth. He says he's sorry before Bartosz walks away. Later, after one confession, Alexander is ready for another. He calls Charlotte, and rather than destroy her life, per Hannah's request, he asks her to come to the plant. He intends to open the barrels at the plant and confess to a cover-up, including hidden nuclear waste. He is unaware that this will play a part in triggering the apocalypse. Still at home, Bartosz is visited by Marta. She tells him about everything, including the impending apocalypse. After some pleading, Bartosz agrees to help stop his father from opening the barrels. After he gets no answer trying to call his father, they take off for the nuclear plant by bike. However, on the way, they are stopped by an older Magnus in Francisco from Jonas' world. They were sent from the future by Adam to ensure events occur in accordance with the cycle. They tell Marta that Eva lied to her. Eva does not want to stop the apocalypse. In fact, she will make it happen. But they tell her they can show her how to change things. All she has to do is come with them, trust Jonas and rescue Jonas from the apocalypse on his world, a future that the now-dead Jonas already experienced. She goes with Magnus in Francisco, leaving Bartosz behind. In Jonas' world, 2020, Claudia follows a map left for her by the other Claudia to find the God particle in the nuclear plant. As she reaches for it, someone yells for her to stop. She turns and sees that it is a young Jonas, alive. He explains that he hopes to stabilize the God particle so he can go back in time to save everyone and stop the apocalypse. He is excited when he realizes Claudia has the time machine, the one she took with her to the bunker, but is disappointed to see it is now broken. Per the other Claudia's guidance, this Claudia must not allow Jonas to succeed in stabilizing the God particle yet. She must perpetuate the knot. To earn his trust and ensure he follows her, Claudia tells him that she can help save Marta. In Eva's world, 2052, the scarred Marta has just recently killed Jonas. Her older self offers comfort, saying, I know what you're feeling, but you'll learn to let him go. Everything will run its course, just as fate determined for our world and his. Then, with Eva and her middle-aged self looking over her shoulder, Marta writes the letter that Jonas will burn in 1888. Knowing a living Jonas will receive this letter, Marta asks how he can still be alive in his world, considering she killed him. Eva draws an infinity symbol, explaining that both worlds exist in a time loop, represented by both loops she's drawn. They meet at a junction in time, the moment where Marta either rescues Jonas from the apocalypse or doesn't. In either case, the loop continues in both worlds. And in fact, both choices exist in overlapping realities. Marta rescues Jonas from the apocalypse. He goes to her world and dies. Simultaneously, Marta does not rescue Jonas from the apocalypse. He grows up, becomes stranded in 1888, and eventually becomes Adam. Both realities occur over and over. Eva explains, Adam has tried to sever this entanglement for the past 33 years. So what is growing inside you will never come to be, but it is impossible. Our worlds cannot be separated from one another. Every step Jonas takes is guided by us. He cannot escape his fate. In order to ensure the cycle continues and the knot is maintained, Eva gathers her followers and sends each to various points of the timeline in her or Adam's world. Claudia goes to Adam's world to ensure his Claudia guides Jonas and the others on the right path. Noah introduces this world's Elizabeth to his younger self. The others play similar roles. In Adam's world, 2053, Marta is restrained beneath a machine built by Sykmundus. Adam explains that it will focus the energy from both apocalypses, from either world, to destroy Marta and her future son, thereby destroying the knot. Jonas activates the machine. As Marta is engulfed by the energy, Eva's trio travels to both worlds simultaneously, ensuring both apocalypses occur. With Marta having left with Magnus in Francisco, no one stops Alexander from opening the barrels for Charlotte. The young Magnus in Francisco of her world watch as they are engulfed by the apocalyptic explosion. In 1890, after two years, Jonas continues work on stabilizing the God particle. Bartosz is frustrated. He wants to go home and doubts Jonas even wants to stop the apocalypses anymore. Leaving Jonas, he walks to the forest and runs into a woman. Bartosz does not realize she is from the future and will be the mother to his children. Silja, having stolen Marta's 1800s garb, travels from 2053 to find Bartosz here. Fourteen years later, Bartosz watches as Silja gives birth to a boy she names Hanno Tauber. He will grow up to be Noah. Six years later, Silja dies while giving birth to Noah's sister, Agnes. After a year passes, Bartosz is reunited with his wife when Jonas' mother Hanno arrives with a child, Silja. This is Egon's daughter, who Hanno decided to keep after her run-in with Helena Albers. Bartosz escorts Hanno to see her son, but warns her that Jonas has changed and traveling has left its mark. Hanno introduces Jonas to his younger sister. He coldly asks how they found him, and Hanno explains that she was visited by a woman named Eva. This Eva explained that Jonas was looking for Hanno. She admits to Jonas that he was right. It's my fault, she says. I've ruined everything, but now I'm here. Jonas pulls her hand from his face, and as a tear falls, tells Bartosz to prepare chambers for them. That night, Jonas visits his mother. He tells her that Silja doesn't belong here. All the pieces have to be in position. She's in the wrong place, so are you. Jonas says before killing his mother. Then he takes Silja. She will be sent to the future where she will grow up. In 2053, she will be sent back to 1890 and meet Bartosz in the forest. In 2021, as they dig through the tunnels under Winden Cave, Elizabeth asks Noah to tell her about paradise. He tells her that paradise will be free of pain and suffering. Everything we've ever done is forgotten there. Any pain we've ever felt is erased, and all the dead live. Adam will keep his promise. The passage will open. In 2023, Jonas is still working on stabilizing the God particle with Claudia, but he has lost hope. He returns to his childhood home and hangs a noose from the beam that once held his father's lifeless body. As Jonas hangs, Noah barges into the room and cuts the rope, rescuing him. Noah explains that because Jonas's older self exists in the future, he cannot die. Time will not allow it. He proves this by handing Jonas a gun, putting the gun to his head and pulling the trigger, nothing happens. Even though, as Noah proves, the gun is fully functional. Elizabeth and I found the passage. You must keep your promise. Noah says before escorting Jonas to the tunnel. He goes on to say, it will open again, and then you will, then Adam, will lead us to paradise. He said we will become friends before you betray me. 17 years later, Jonas and Noah are friends. The two work on the machine with Claudia while she continues to secretly sabotage their efforts. Noah asks for Jonas's thoughts on why the machine isn't working and suggests maybe Claudia does not want it to. He asks Jonas why he trusts Claudia and Jonas counters by asking why Noah trusts Adam. He lied to you, Jonas says. There is no paradise. There's no world other than this one. I know you think I will become him, but I won't. The portal will work. I've seen it. In the future, everything repeats itself. But if I can travel back, I can change everything. My older self tried it before, but this time everything's different. I've changed the components in the passage. This time it'll work. Noah is skeptical as these promises came from Claudia. He points out that she disappears for days at a time. He wonders how she knows all the things she knows. They are unaware that there is another world and Claudia regularly meets with her counterpart from it. And now pregnant Elizabeth asks Noah to come inside. Before joining Elizabeth, Noah warns Jonas they cannot trust Claudia. Meanwhile, Claudia meets with her other self. After their usual check-in, Claudia asks her counterpart, have you ever met my older self? When the other Claudia says no, Claudia realizes that her counterpart's future does not exist.  Before doing so, Claudia says she remembers what her older self told her. That if everything goes right, Regina, her daughter, will live. I just can't believe that by that she meant her suffering was to repeat over and over forever. Claudia says as she raises a gun, she continues, there must be a way to untie the knot without destroying all life within it. A way for Regina to live, really live. I think neither Eva nor Adam know that path, but I'll find it in my world or yours. Then she kills her other self. Claudia steals the time-traveling orb and uses it to visit the other world and see Eva. She pretends to be Eva's Claudia and receives her latest order. Eva hands her blueprints for the time machine and asks her to hand them to Claudia from Jonas's world, who will then give them to H.G. Tonhouse. Eva herself retrieved these blueprints from Claudia's world when the trio burned down the Sigmundas Lodge. Later, an older Claudia will deliver the blueprints to H.G. Tonhouse in 1953. One year later, in 2041, Elizabeth asks Noah to tell her about Paradise again. As he does, an older Elizabeth, joined by her mother and daughter Charlotte, arrives from the future. They were sent by Adam. The two steal Elizabeth and Noah's child, along with the pocket watch engraved for Charlotte. Elizabeth holds the child she spent so little time with and ensures her younger self will suffer the same fate. Decades earlier, on the night H.G. Tonhouse loses his family, Elizabeth and Charlotte will deliver the baby to him. He will raise her as his granddaughter. She will grow up to be Charlotte and in 2041, will kidnap herself again. Noah and Elizabeth find their child missing. Furious, Noah runs to Jonas and demands to know where his daughter is. Jonas does not know, but Noah no longer trusts him. Adam always promised that Jonas would be a friend until he betrayed Noah. Noah believes this is the betrayal. He promises Elizabeth that he will find their daughter. After a long journey to find the missing daughter, Noah arrives in 1920. He visits an older Jonas, now going by the name Adam. Adam waits no time in recruiting Noah back to his cause. He firmly repeats that he did not take Charlotte, but Noah was right about Claudia lying to them. To prove his case, Adam tells Noah to look at his tri-catcher notebook where he will see pages missing. Pages removed by Claudia. Adam explains that Noah must find those pages which will lead to Charlotte and Paradise. Noah is unaware that in the coming years, he will find those pages and he will meet his daughter shortly before he is killed by his sister. In 2052, Claudia has finally allowed Jonas to stabilize the God particle. She tells Jonas that everything must happen again the exact same way. Jonas has to lead his younger self down the same path. But Claudia promises you'll finally be able to change everything. She tells Jonas that Tonhouse will repair the old broken time machine. Then Jonas must use it to destroy the passage and with it, the not. Claudia lies and says you'll succeed this time. She adds, Jonas, you must never lose hope. After Jonas leaves, Claudia rips some pages out of the tri-catcher notebook and the cycle repeats. Jonas guides his younger self and closes the passage just as he has in every previous cycle. And just as in every previous cycle, the passage closes but the knot remains intact. Jonas fails again. A young Jonas holds Marta as she dies in his arms. Older Jonas rescues his friends from the apocalypse and strands them in 1888. He grows older. He goes by the name Adam. And he travels to 2053 where he holds captive a young Marta from another world. Adam destroys her and her unborn son in the hopes of destroying the knot. Once again, Jonas fails. He still exists. His world still exists. This can't be, he says. Then he is greeted by a familiar face. An older Claudia arrives to explain the truth, to show him the true origin and the true path towards untying the knot. In 2020, just as the apocalypse hits, Marta rescues Jonas and brings him to her world. This reality overlaps with another where Marta does not rescue Jonas and is instead stopped by Bartosz, who is sent by Eva. The Marta that rescues Jonas goes on to be killed by Adam. The other Marta follows Bartosz to 2052 and once again meets Eva. Some pain is never forgotten, Eva says. It brands us for our entire life. You and I, we share that pain. We bear the same scars. Eva slashes a knife across young Marta's face, giving her the scar worn by her older selves. Eva explains that they all must die so they can be reborn. All events in the cycle must be repeated so the knot can be perpetuated. So Marta's son can live. Eva explains that Marta carries the origin inside her and then invites her future son into the room. Understanding that the knot must exist for her son to live, Marta follows Eva's instructions to kill Jonas and repeat the cycle's events. Adam still shocked to see he still exists and shocked to see Claudia alive after he had her killed. Finally learns the truth. Claudia explains that the origin is not his and Marta's son. The origin is not a connection between both worlds, as Adam thought. But is something from outside these worlds? Both worlds originate from a third world, the origin world. In this other world, a man named H.G. Tonhouse lost his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in a car accident. He became obsessed with breaking the rules of time and space to bring them back. Over more than a decade, he built a time machine. However, when he activated it, it split and destroyed his world, creating Adam and Eva's two worlds. The only way to destroy the knot is by preventing Tonhouse from inventing time travel to begin with on the origin world. In the sick, moonless lair, now destroyed by the trio, Claudia tells Adam that he has tried to destroy the knot in infinite number of times. However, this moment, the two of them speaking has never happened before. Claudia learned all this over her 33-year journey to understand how a family tree can be born of itself over and over. In that journey, she also learned that not everyone is part of the knot. Some, like Tronta or Charlotte, are part of Marta and Jonas' cyclical, impossible lineage. They are part of the knot, and if it is destroyed, they will cease to exist. However, anyone who already existed in the origin world outside the knot would be saved. Standing over Regina's grave in 2053, Claudia and Tronta discussed this. For years, Tronta believed he was Regina's father. However, Regina existed in the origin world and isn't a part of the knot. Unlike Tronta, who is Jonas and Marta's grandson, this means that if the knot is destroyed, Claudia's daughter Regina gets to live. Claudia then sends Tronta to 2020 so he can kill a suffering Regina, perpetuating the cycle one more time. Claudia explains to Adam that just like him and Eva, she had to preserve the knot and repeat the cycle so she could reach this point now. And although events happen differently or at different times between worlds, they happen nonetheless. In 1953, in Adam's world, Ulrich arrives from the future and attempts to kill a young Helga.  In both cases, he fails. In Adam's world, he lives the rest of his life in an institution. In Eva's world, an older Helga intervenes, killing Ulrich. Helga then finds the time-traveled copies of his penny on Ulrich's body, after which Claudia arrives to guide him. Still in 2053, Claudia finally reaches the ultimate reveal of her conversation with Adam. During the apocalypse, there is a loophole. Time stands still for a fraction of a second and for a moment, the chain of cause and effect is broken. Eva is aware of this and has used the loophole to send her younger self in one direction or another to preserve the knot. Claudia has used it as well to be here now, talking to Adam. She hands Adam the orb and explains that he'll need to use the loophole to send Jonas with Marta to the origin world. There, they can stop Tom House from ever inventing time-travel. They can destroy the knot. In 2020, the apocalypse begins. Adam kills Marta and leaves. As Jonas watches her die, the Adam who just learned the truth from Claudia arrives. Why are you still here? She's dead, Jonas yells. What more do you want from me? Adam uses the orb to teleport them to 2019 in Eva's world. He explains everything and tells Jonas he needs to stop an older Magnus in Francisco from recruiting Marta. With little time to spare, Jonas begins his final journey. Meanwhile, Adam heads to Eva's lair and burns it, just as he has in previous cycles. Then he uses her God particle and travels to 2052. Eva greets him and expects him, as he's done in every previous cycle, to kill her. When he hesitates, Eva forces him to point the gun at her chest. When he hesitates still, Eva pulls the trigger, but the gun does not fire. Adam reveals a handful of bullets. He never loaded the pistol. Eventually, Eva understands that the endless knot is finally coming undone. The two mortal enemies embrace and prepare for their worlds to be erased.  He quickly activates the orb, places it in his pocket, and runs to Marta. Just as the device triggers, he grabs Marta and the two are transported to Jonas' world. After each saw the other die, the two are reunited. Jonas explains that it is June 21st, 1986. The day Tom House creates the time machine on the origin world. Although it takes some insistence from Marta, Jonas explains what they are really doing. He says, you and I are the reason everything happens the way it does. Why it happens again and again?  But we are the mistake. The glitch in the matrix. They head into the caves and through the Sick Mundus doors. Inside, they wait for the passage to open. In that moment, there will be a bridge between the three worlds, and they'll be able to go to the origin. In a quiet moment, Jonas asks if the Jonas on Marta's world was different. She does not answer. Both watch as a tear rolls down the other's cheek. In the origin world, Tom House activates the machine. In Jonas' world, the tunnel begins to open. In a place between time and space, Jonas wakes up. He calls for Marta. She is in the same place, but neither can find the other. Suddenly, Jonas sees a window open, and he has given a glimpse of Marta as a child. She is with her mother, Katarina.  At the same time, Marta through a similar window sees a young Jonas with his father, Miquel. The windows close. Marta and Jonas finally find each other, returning from two paths, intersecting in front of a third. They walk down the third path and activate the orb. On November 8, 1971, in the origin world, Merrick argues with his father, H.G. Tom House.  At least you were right about that. You may know everything about Einstein, Rosen, Bridges, and Black Holes, but about me, you know absolutely nothing about me. Merrick and Sonja, with their child, drive on a dangerous road until Jonas and Marta appear in the middle of the street. Merrick swerves to avoid them. He gets out of the car, angry at first, but softens when he gets a closer look at the broken Jonas and Marta. Is everything okay? He asks. Unsure how to convince this man to return to his father, Jonas says the road is closed. There was an accident. Unconvinced, Merrick starts walking back to the car. Jonas tries again and says, What we know is a drop. What we don't know is an ocean. Marta adds, Your father loves you. He would do anything for you. A feeling dawns on Merrick. He tells his wife the bridge is closed and they go back to his father. Your son thinks he met a pair of angels, Sonja says. I don't know why, but I suddenly just got this feeling, Merrick tells his father. The chew embrace. Tonhouse's pain is gone. He will never invent the time machine. He will never create the knot. As Merrick and Sonja head upstairs, Tonhouse holds his granddaughter. Charlotte, do you think it worked? Marta asks Jonas. Inside the light, I saw you as a child. You were looking towards me as if you could see me too. Jonas says. Marta remembers this from her childhood. It wasn't a dream, she says. She goes on. Do you think anything of us will remain? Or is that what we are? A dream and we never really existed. All Jonas can say is, I don't know. As they begin to fade, he tells her, We are a perfect match. Never believe anything else. They hold hands as they are erased by time. The knot is destroyed. Their worlds disappear. There is a red house. In one world, it was Jonas's childhood home. In another, it was Marta's. On the origin world, it is Regina's home. The daughter of Claudia and burned Doppler. She has some familiar faces over for a dinner party. Torben begins telling them all the story of what happened to his eye when they are interrupted by a power outage. Hannah, pregnant in this world, is disturbed. She sees a yellow raincoat and is overcome by the feeling of deja vu. This is exactly what she dreamt last night. The lights flickered. There was a loud bang. And then suddenly everything was dark. The world ended. But it was good that it ended. They ask Hannah if she and Torben have chosen a name for their child yet. Hannah says, I think Jonas is a beautiful name.

Today we're gonna be talking about something with Nintendo Switch 2 that isn't getting a lot of pub right now, right? A lot of people are waiting on the next batch of rumors, a fresh batch of leaks, maybe something from the manufacturing side, or just Nintendo to announce this damn thing, or maybe Furukawa to get in front of another interview and start to deny, deny, deny, right? We're just kinda sitting on our hands at this point. And what's fascinating is a number of things that have happened over the last couple of weeks that really indicate a lot of things with Switch 2, in particular that it is coming in 2024, and we might even know when it's going to be announced. That's right, these hints are out there and they're not getting talked about enough. But you know, I want to make sure I give proper credit to this first point we're about to bring up because my dear friend, Andres Restart, over on his channel, made a whole video about this, I don't know, five, six, seven days ago, and he was dealing with one specific aspect and that is DLC. It is very true, we have no DLC right now for any of Nintendo's major games heading into 2024. At all, nada, nothing. See, last year we knew about, you know, there was gonna be Splatoon 3 DLC, we knew that there would eventually be Pokemon DLC, and yes, they even announced the Fire Emblem Engage DLC last year at the game awards. So we knew about that as well, but if you think about everything after Fire Emblem Engage, you think about the major releases, which are really three big games, right? We have Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, and Mario Wonder. None of those games have DLC announced right now as we're heading into 2024. Now, they could announce DLC of course at any point, although the Zelda team has come out to say there will not be DLC. Most of us at least want a master mode free update, but we might not be getting that either. So it's fascinating to think that there is no major DLC. Now, we had thought the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC might leak into 2024, because you know, the second part of it was supposed to drop in winter of 2023, and winter doesn't really begin to like halfway through December and goes into actually mostly in 2024, but then they went ahead and announced that release date, and yeah, it's coming out in December. So we have no major DLC for any game heading into next year, and technically next year there's only one brand new game even announced right now in Princess Peach Showtime. So I find this fascinating. Now, it doesn't mean there's not other releases.  A lot of you guys really excited about the thousand year door one, which doesn't have a date yet, but yeah guys, like there is just the significant lack of not only a major game to look forward to that's actually brand new, we also don't have any major DLC to look forward to as well. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC just wrapped up. Pokemon DLC is about to wrap up, and there's nothing. And Nintendo has this long history every year of most of their major games having some sort of major free update or major paid DLC. And again, if you want the full history on that, I highly suggest you go watch Andres Restarts video because he goes down year by year from 2017 all the way up through 2023 on all the games that got major DLC and or free updates to sort of prove that this is a very strange trend heading into 2024 that we don't have any major DLC for the major games released this year. Again, Beyond Fire Emblem Engage, whose DLC was actually announced a year ago, well a little bit more than a year ago in December of 2022. So it is fascinating to think about how this could actually be a major hint for Nintendo Switch 2 coming next year. There's not a major game to look forward to at the moment beyond Princess Peach Showtime, which is a Mario spinoff game, so not considered a major IP in that of itself. So we don't have a major game to look forward to beyond remakes and remasters, and we don't have any major DLC. Why? Why are they not giving us anything? Why are they not teasing? I mean, they could have even dropped a teaser for Metroid Prime 4, right? They've already announced that game. But no, there's nothing. We have technically nothing major to look forward to heading into 2024. It seemingly every year around this time of year we make a video titled like, Oh, how next year could be the greatest year in Nintendo Switch history? And we can usually cite a bunch of games and stuff that's coming. And this time we can't, because they're not really giving us anything to be super excited about. Again, beyond remakes and remasters, and well, you guys know Princess Peach Showtime. Before I get to the next part of this video, I just want to say, hey, we are trying to get to a big subscriber goal around here. So I'd appreciate if you subscribe to the channel, drop a like and all of that. Maybe we'll rain some free Oreo cookies down on your head and like, look at these, look at these cookies. Don't they look delicious? They can be all yours if you subscribe. So one defense people use for saying that, oh, there will not be any Nintendo Switch 2 in 2024, are the words of Furukawa. And I understand what Furukawa said. And his words actually to me mean we are getting something in 2024. He said this stuff in a Q and A session and he talked about it in an interview he did as well with the Japanese newspaper. But he essentially said two things. One is that these reports that are being treated like truth about them talking about a system being shown and or talked about to developers or select developers in 2022. He's saying that these are not factual. Now, in regards to the whole 2022 thing, he's referencing the Activision Blizzard King stuff. There's a whole email chain. We talked about how Furukawa lied when we brought this up before and he technically didn't lie because of the way he worded things. But what he did do was make some inferences to sort of just deny the reports anyways. And look, we have some fact-based evidence and Nintendo requested redactions in emails about the platform from Activision Blizzard King where they talked about a meeting that Bobby Kotek and other management have with Nintendo. And there was a summary of that meeting and the entire meeting was redacted. And yes, those redactions were requested by Nintendo's legal department. So why would Nintendo request redactions for a meeting that never happened? Obviously this meeting in 2022 did happen and yes, the device was talked about. But that's besides the point. What he said really probably wasn't about those statements because again, that stuff in the emails was all redacted. We don't even know what was said. But Bobby Kotek did say publicly on the stand that he is of belief that the next generation switch, the NG switch would be roughly the power of a PlayStation 4. And that is likely what Furukawa's comments were directly about. An actual public made statement that people ran with as absolute truth and him saying that no, that's not exactly true. And that's fine. It probably isn't exactly the power of a PlayStation 4 and that probably isn't the right way to summarize how powerful the next generation Nintendo switch is. It's probably just, I don't wanna say misinformation but just not the incomplete picture. So denying that, I think just makes sense because you're trying to not have people really know what exactly this platform is. And so you gotta find a way to deny certain parts of the rumors that are floating out there. Now notably, he never addressed the rumors by the way of it going into manufacturing in November. Notice that that's been a report that's been out there this whole time. Never denied those reports. He also by the way, did not deny that dev kits were sent out in the middle of July. Again, none of those reports were denied either. The one report that he throws a little wrench in is actually about the Gamescom stuff with where we have those demos. This is actually the biggest piece of news to hit at the end of summer, starting with Eurogamer and video game Chronicle and IGN and all the major outlets sort of corroborating with their own sources that this happened at Gamescom that the Nintendo showed off those two demos. The interesting thing about it is the way he denies it is not him saying those demos were never shown. He says specifically, switch to hardware was never shown to developers at an overseas event. This is just not true, it didn't happen. Which is funny because the reports never said the switch to itself was at these events. They actually all agreed that it was target spec hardware that they were playing the demos on. What is target spec hardware? It's a PC spec to similar specs of what they think the final hardware switch to is going to be and running these demos on it. It's not the switch to, it is not a switch to dev kit in no way did any of the reports ever say that a switch to or a switch to dev kit was at Gamescom and being shown to developers behind closed doors. Now there were people that maybe twisted these reports into that, but that was never actually in the reports. So he actually denied something that was never reported in the first place. Yeah, we didn't show switch to hardware behind the scenes to developers. Yeah, you didn't. That's not what the report said. They talked about switch to demos. So very, very interesting just the way Furukawa worded all of this. And to me, this only means that we're actually going to get it in 2024 because again, think about it. He was denying these two specific things where he didn't deny that there were demos shown. He didn't deny that it was going into mass manufacturing in November. These are also reports that are out there. He didn't deny the dev kits being out at a bunch of developers in the middle of July. There's all these other specific things he never really addresses. He addresses two specific points, one of which is maybe to clear the air on people that were maybe misrepresenting those Gamecom reports because the original reports never said that there was actually switch twos behind the scene. And then the other one was clarifying that maybe Bobby Kotak's comparing to PS4 Power wasn't correct and that's fine. Like nothing he said here really denies that the platform exists. In fact, he goes on to say in the Q and A section that they are working on new hardware. So look, you can't have it both ways, right? People want to say, look, he's denying the switch to exist. That's not actually what he said. Also he mentioned they're still working on new hardware which means, okay, so it's a device they haven't announced. So it's a device they're currently working on which means they're working on new hardware. He says they're working on new hardware but not you want to pretend Nintendo isn't working on new hardware. So what is it? Is Furukawa only telling the truth about these couple rumors he's trying to debunk or is he just lying that they're working on new hardware? You can't have it both ways. You either take everything he says at face value or you ignore all of it. So in the end, I take these two things when you consider the DLC and the lack of DLC and stuff and the lack of brand new games really heading into 2024. Combine that with what Furukawa said where he's even addressing this stuff in the first place which you're only gonna address this stuff when you're getting closer and closer to unveiling something. It all just kind of leads to, yeah, we're getting Nintendo Switch 2 in 2024. So the question is, when are they gonna reveal it, right? We could talk about when it's gonna come out and all this stuff but honestly, the very first thing they need to do is reveal it. Well, Nate the Hate and MVG did a podcast, not too long ago, a handful of days ago and in the podcast, they were discussing all of Furukawa's words and they went over all of this exact stuff about how he's not really lying because what he is saying is very specific in how it's worded where it's not really a lie. The things he's denying are things that make sense to deny as a company but a modern vintage gamer really didn't like the way Furukawa went about it. He kind of just thinks that he, they should have just stuck to Nintendo's usual guns of just we don't comment on rumors or just say we're working on new hardware and leave it at that but whatever. You know what, everyone's gonna have their opinions on what Furukawa said but what's interesting is one thing that came out of Gamescom and again, wasn't denied by Furukawa was this idea of a March date. Now, Nate the Hate had speculated in the past this might be a potential release timing for the system since everyone who saw these Gamescom demos were like, hey, hey, we keep hearing March for being told March by Nintendo but they didn't really indicate what that meant. Well, he now firmly believes and I tend to agree that March is when they're going to unveil the system. Now, I can already hear people saying, wait a second, doesn't Nintendo have a brand new, like their only new game that's announced for next year? Isn't that coming at March in Princess Peach Showtime? And you're absolutely right but how big of a game is Princess Peach Showtime? Like, let's be realistic. Is it as big as Mario Wonder? Well, no, of course not. Is it probably more like on the level of a Metroid Dread?  Probably, it's probably more along there, a game that'll sell two, three million units and that's gonna be considered pretty good because it's probably made by a C team at one of Nintendo's studios. Well, here's the thing. The March date could make sense for a number of reasons. What is very curious when we're thinking about announcing the system in March is, if you look at Nintendo's traditional cadence of announcements, there should be a direct in February. They almost always do a Nintendo direct in February and are they really gonna do a Nintendo direct and then announce new hardware a month later? I find that to be kinda curious. What I think is probably going to happen is there will be a Nintendo direct in February. We're gonna get release dates for a thousand year door. There's gonna be some new announcements for a Nintendo Switch, some more ports and remasters, some other smaller games, maybe even a tease of Metroid Prime 4. But I could see this being where we actually get our first tease of the new system and it happens at the end. Where they tease Metroid Prime 4 and then they announce right at the end of the trailer it's going to be a cross generation game for Nintendo Switch and our next Nintendo device. Tune in on blah, blah, blah to hear more about what's in store for Nintendo next. Or something like that. I don't know what the exact phrasing is gonna be. What's next for Nintendo? And that's gonna be them announcing that March date of when they're gonna do a full unveiling of Nintendo Switch too. I kind of get this feeling that Nintendo's gonna do something like that where we're gonna get a tease in February and a full blowout in March. And it's not even gonna be like a 2016 type of tease for Switch where they gave us a full trailer on the system. Think it's just gonna be like mentioning the system exists, they'll mention a cross generation title so it's still a Nintendo Switch announcement but then they'll tease when they're gonna announce that new hardware. And I just kind of think that this makes sense and this is what Nintendo's gonna do.  Look, I'm just gonna say March. The February direct thing is me just guessing. March is something we've actually heard from supposed developers that saw the demos. So I'm just gonna go with March. March seems like a good reveal as for when they're gonna release and after that, it's anyone's guess. Could be really quickly, like they can do a March, April, May, June do like a June launch. Could be August, could be September, could even be November. Who knows? The point is that I think March is when we're gonna see it. So yeah, three months in the next year right before the end of Nintendo's fiscal year get the investors super excited for what's coming next get people wanting to buy a ton of stock getting ready for the next big wave of Nintendo hardware. Now, that's just my take. You guys let me know what you think about this down in the comments below. I am Nathaniel Rubble Jance from Nintendo Prime. Feels great to be back on camera. We'll catch you guys in the next video.
