I'm going to copy and paste my theory for episode 8. It's a bit weird and I think it's going to be wrong but I have no where else to share it but Reddit. It's farfetched and I might be grasping at too many little details that amount to nothing. But this came to me a couple nights ago after I watched episode 7, so here I go. Also, I'm going to give a possible TW for nonconsensual intercourse. I'll start at season 1. One of Julian's first lines is "Is she hot?" which is referring to Leanne. This is before he meets her, but when he does finally meet her, he seems fascinated. In episode 3, he makes a remark to Sean "Have you seen her naked yet?" or something on those lines. And well, later on, while Sean and Dorothy go on their date, Leanne touches Julian's crotch (i know she saw Dorothy do it but still). It's odd. There's always this weird tension between them but after Natalie, it sort of drops. I thought that was it. Now, on this subreddit, there is a pretty popular theory that the way Leanne could resurrect a human is through birth. I kind of believe it though I believe Jericho 2.0 might not have supernatural rationale. Sergio just died and Leanne looks devastated. We see her grieving and frantically making cross to hang up. The first time we saw one of these crosses was when Jericho 2.0 appeared which replaced the doll. Is she trying to resurrect him? If the birth theory is anything to go by then, maybe Leanne will get pregnant (either mimicking Jesus' birth with the Virgin Mary or through intercourse). A couple episodes before (Cake) we see a King Cake. This may put this episode around Mardi Gras time (maybe, I haven't gotten confirmation on the date. Maybe it's near Christmas time or maybe Spring?). Christmas Eve is about 10 months away (9 months is average pregnancy's time) so that kind of disproves it being 9 months away. But Christmas Eve is when Jesus was born (it's oblivious and I'm Christian so I'm ready for the religious symbolism) and would it be a stretch for Leanne to be pregnant and give birth to a child on that? What if that child is Julian's? Let me explain... Julian has this weird relationship with Leanne. BUT Julian isn't an idiot. He wouldn't sleep with Leanne because he knows she's crazy and she's their captive. Then what are those weird bottles Uncle George got delivered? It looks like they have something in them. Poison? Sedatives? What if they poison him or something with those? (one song in the soundtrack is called 'Overdose') And then well, have intercourse with Julian under the influence. It's a disgusting theory and honestly I would hate it. My other thought is the dagger and bottles are going to be used for collecting blood or something. Some of kind of ritual. Hopefully. Now, my last bit of the theory. Last season, Episode 8 was a 'Julian's Episode' as my mom who now watches calls it. It was primarily about him. Him and Leanne. I think this episode will be the same. He has mainly been comedic relief this season (and though I adore him) he hasn't gotten any real development expect a few moments. It's time for his moment. The summary is "Dorothy and Sean get a hopeful sign. Leanne and Julian get to know each other better". Maybe I'm dirty minded but the phrase 'get to know each other better' is typically used sexually in media. My mother who looked at the summary as well said aloud 'Wait, Julian and Leanne are going to get sexual?'. I might be reaching but the phrase in media is usually used to imply a sexual relationship. Also, the title of the episode is 'Loveshack'. Oh, I'm hoping it's going to just be used as a funny joke like how Jericho's spacesuit was the title of 'Spaceman'. Not to mention, it seems like Sean and Dorothy might actually leave Julian. I doubt this but you know. Okay, a few more little things. In a recent interview with M. Night and Rupert Grint, M Night says this "You’re going to do this sex scene and you’re going to be emotional,” it’s easy. “You’re going to carry a body through the house.” “No problem.” “You’re going to be angry, you’re going to be drunk.” Whatever I tell you to do, you’re playing it so effortlessly." He's talking about Rupert being an incredible actor (which he is) and that's what I thought he meant. When he said 'sex scene' I thought he was referring to Natalie and him last season (with the emotional part), but the title of the next episode and the summary makes me think otherwise. I was rewatching that scene and Julian looks distracted and distant more than emotional. Plus, I know Leanne is 18 but still. Julian in the script is confirmed to be 33 give or take, so i don't know. Another thing, I'm in love with the soundtrack and noticed that the songs match up the moments. Example, 'Web of Crosses' is well, a web of crosses. One song that COULD be featured in 8 is 'Hurt and Heal'. It may not go towards the sexual theory but I'd thought I'd share. Last thing, in the trailer there are a few shots of Julian beat up and with a bloody nose. One in the bathroom with the camera spiraling upward (Julian looks really upset) and other Julian leaning against a door. (also, a shot of what looks like Leanne going towards him when George's voiceover says 'her presence is an infection'). If not sexual, then perhaps it's blood related with the bottles and maybe Julian will have flashbacks and it will explain his reaction to the hypnotizing scene and possible connection to the cult.
*SPOILER* [Don’t read if you don’t want to be spoiled] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Nell accidentally spoiled in a interview with Glamour that there is a intimate scene between Leanne and Julian. but they've changed the article now, lol. the spoiler was even in the title "Nell Tiger Free, opens up about the season two plot twist that shook her the most - namely getting down and dirty with Rupert Grint’s Julian..." and now the new title is "Nell Tiger Free, opens up about getting closer with Rupert Grint on screen: ‘Childhood me is quaking". i just hope it's consensual on both sides
Lol Nell did say she has issues with spoiling. Lol I can’t believe she spoiled THAT much lol... actually, if I was a celebrity I’d accidentally do the same
@@thefanimator9386 SAME!!! I was shocked!! Fortunately the series is not that popular yet so just few people saw that interview. But when I saw the post on Twitter i was like "wtf?! why are they spoiling that???"
@@geliryaty844 I’m surprised I got any bit right, like even a bit. I’m kind of happy about it but like it may have been obvious. My new question is WHY would Julian allow this? I just hope it’s consensual on both sides. Also, sorry for blowing up your comments and notifications, I haven’t found anyone who likes servant and Rupert Grint as much as I do. The only place I really post is reddit and that’s rare
