Other things I've noticed: The way the guards outside the facility were phased into the ground felt like a reference to X-Men: Apocalypse where Apocalypse phased those Polish factory workers into the ground. When Lenny/Shadow King is with David's sister in the room with maps and globes, it feels like a reference to Cerebro. Also, what if the Red Hook Incident and Westchester Incident are related? What if the Mutant refuge in Logan is run by the Mutants from Summerland?! 😨

Wait... is it ever mentioned directly that they're in the Pacific North West? I actually had the running theory of them being in Switzerland. The interrogator mentions that he works for inter-governmental agencies, Oliver gets into a car with European plates and the steering wheel is on the right-hand side, Ptolomy uses a luger which after WWII was mostly produced by Switzerland until the late 70's (so it fits with the uncertain timeline as well), Kerry's multilingual introduction upon first meeting Oliver, and if there is in fact a war going on Switzerland would likely take the classic approach of being neutral on the matter. We only see the group traveling by car in a handful of scenes, and even then only for a few seconds, but if David can teleport they could literally be anywhere on the planet. If anyone can cite a scene where it's mentioned otherwise I'd greatly appreciate such information.

I have a question. When Sydney and David switched bodies, she later apologised to David for killing his friend, who was Lenny. Now that we know that's always been the shadow king, does that mean others saw Lenny too? I don't quite understand this.

Saumya Agrawal Benny (drug pusher) and Lenny (mental patient) were two different, but real people. Shadow King edited David's memories so he thought both of them were Lenny, probably so she could appear to David after Lenny died to get him to do things with David thinking that she was his buddy.

Both Benny from David's college days and Lenny from the mental hospital were real people. Syd killed Lenny accidentally while she was in David's body with his powers and Shadow King later pushed both people into one and edited David's memory so he feels more guilty towards killing his longtime friend.

I know I'm late, but something to consider is when Syd and David originally swap bodies. Lenny says, "... come on! He's wearing yellow!" So, we can assume that CWPH patients in yellow are less are considered *less* dangerous than the patients in red. It makes me wonder if Lenny considered Ptonomy, Melanie, and Walter as *more dangerous* to the succession of Farouk's plans.

I can't quite tell what the picture is but the name "Enceladus" clearly is shown. This could be a reference to the giant Enceladus from ancient Greek mythology who fought Athena or a reference to Saturn's largest moon that may have a liquid water ocean beneath its surface or a WWII US cargo ship that shuttled supplies around the Pacific.

The summary of Lovecraft's novel "Horror at Redhook" suggests that the antagonist, Suydam, is possibly possessed by an evil entity that then kills Suydam's wife and then Suydam himself. Later Suydam's body is taken by cult members back to his home where his body is reanimated.
