The Tragic Fate of Allison, Susie & Tom - Explained! (Bendy and the Ink Machine Theories) 

I wouldn't be surprised if Tom remembered everything. He remembers his name and Alisson mentioned that one day she was messing up with something she shouldn't have and, for some reason, Tom was there, which implies Tom knows who she is and is protecting her. He just can't talk.

I wonder if Joey wanted Henry to become Bendy. Henry seems to be Bendy's creator, and thus would have the deepest connection to the character.

Tom and Alison’s story is really sad At least they’re both together in both worlds

I learned something new about Alice [Susie]. So she did turned out to be a lost one or searcher maybe just a puddle of ink, until she could have been killed sometime and become a perfect version of Alice angel like she wanted to be, but someone pointed this out. They said half of her face was ripped off like someone had squeezed it, and she says it herself “I will not let the demon touch me again” she might have been attacked by bendy and that’s why she is so messed up and only half of her face was destroyed nothing else really, so that’s my theory about her. She used to be perfect until bendy attacked her and now she is trying to fix herself and stays hidden as to not be seen by bendy.

sad that Susie just manipulated to falling in love with her character only to have not only taken from her but then turned into an messed up version of Alice that wishes to beautiful but never able to

Man, BATIM just keeps getting darker, at least I hope that Alisson and Tom had a good life before returning to the studio...

Imagin Suise and Joey in lunch and Joey is like "im goin to kill all the employes here." and Suise is not paying attention and is thinking 'he is so handsom for a old man'

My best theory was that Joey wanted to revamp his bendy series as a set of creepy comics, common during the 50’s and 60’s. The game was the explanation of the plot of the comics to Henry and his daughter. The post board was just him getting back in contact with his old workers, as to ask if he could use their names/likenesses in the story. All of the repeating timelines are just him working out the link of the story. Besides, the twisted creations hunting down a creator sound like a cool comic.

What if everyone is stuck repeating the same fate because they’re in a cartoon. Bendy died when he finally saw ‘The End’ of his cartoons, so maybe they have to repeat the same cartoon to avoid ‘The End’. Otherwise, everyone would have a final death when they see their ending. I think that Bendy is actually dead, now that he has seen his end, but he still exists in Henry’s cartoon because Henry hasn’t seen his end yet. Susie Campbell is still alive because she hasn’t seen her end yet, no matter how many times Alison Pendle stabs her.

What if when you become a Boris clone you still remember everything but you can’t talk because Boris never had a voice actor

I have a theory about why Sammy is a cult lunatic. What if it's something like Darth Vader? He tries to protect Susie but when he became an ink monster, he sees Susie's coffin and think she's dead. "He'll free me from this inky prison." I think it'll free his soul and not his human body. He wants to see Susie in the afterlife. When he gets betrayed by Bendy, he loses it and goes after Henry the player. Edit : Although he got killed by Bendy, which could've freed him, he was probably revived the same way Henry was through an inky tunnel. When he realizes that he can't die and always respawns, he vents all his anger towards Bendy (mentally) and Henry (physically).

I’m thinking, with the whole thing with Joey making those rituals, it’s possible that he accidentally caused a actual demon to inhabit and take the form of Bendy rebirthed from the ink machine.

I guess since Tom was so cautious and knew about the machine Joey had to have lured Allison to the studio first to lure Tom there, counting on the loving husband to come to save his wife. That is horribly tragic, but I am glad they found each other. Off topic, after the last chapter I have started to wonder if the tape recorders aren't actual recordings the characters made willingly, at least not the majority of them, but are memories absorbed by the studio. Something like thought fragments made solid. Just a theory, since I thought it was odd Wally confessed to losing his keys and taking a cake, both which could have gotten him in trouble.

TBH i feel bad for everyone in the game. I can tell that everyone will be in a better or a "heavenly" place except the Ink Demon.

So chapter five’s ending has the community in a rut. Just to explain, I have seen a theory regarding the game being a movie and this game being the afterlife for the characters of this game.

Man I honestly can't believe that Joey was this twisted to go to this extent of trapping his fellow employees in this cartoon world.

there are messages where you fight boris you can use the glass on the 3rd part

Poor Allison and Tom, their story is so tragic. Poor Susie as well, I can't even imagine what she must have felt going through all this. Yeah she turned into a monster, but that's because she was used and manipulated by Joey for his sick experiments. He's the real monster.

Fuzz. I want to see Allison and Thomas alive and in their farm.

imagine if they made chapter 6 of like secrets and stuff like what happened after Henry put THE END in the machine and what happened to Tom and Alice

Everyone keeps saying that Allison & Tom are dead. But I have a question. Does anyone even see any coffins that has their names on them? If not, then that means that like Henry, they are still alive, but are trapped in the cartoon world of Bendy that Joey created. So I feel like the series will involve Henry, Allison, & Tom trying to find a way out of their prison that Joey creates while getting rid of a soulless ink Demon & monster versions of those that use to work for Joey or knew him & his plan.

I’m happy in reality Thomas and Allison got married, as you can see the letter in chapter 5 ending, there was a letter from Allison Conner! I died in happiness. I just feel sad for these.

Solid theory but I still have one question: how come Susie, as well as Sammy and Tom to some extent, still have memories from their previous lives but Allison is a completely blank slate?

I think Susie Campbell was reanimated with a face with an okay face and a ruined face because the ruined face shows how angry she is at Joey Drew for replacing her with Allison Pendle(the new Alice Angle acterous

But in the credits, it said "Bertrum Piedmont" under the projectionist. So either the names don't matter in the credits, or we've been wrong about the projectionist...

I think Henry's invitation to the Old Studio was really just a plot to create a perfect Bendy.

I feel so bad for Susie (Alice angel) I just really want her in the new game but she turns good or bad just please bring her back ):

If Henry was reborn, what character would he be?

Jingle bells Alison tells Henry to save the day Tom goes wrong Destroys a bomb and bendy ran away Hey

What about Sammy ? Oh wait, Tom took care of that.

Well rip susie , why joey -_- And bendy is just a empty boi with no soul :v He dose angthing with no regrets And alicen + tom were married but now live in a cartonish world that resets after henry ends the story Its a never ending hell for all of these persons reborn into inky world And bendy is the one who controlls the inky world

For Super horror bro: your theories are the best theories in the world because it makes the most sense

There's something not right. If Allison and Tom r dead, where r their coffins? We saw Lacie, Bertram, Norman, Grant, and even Susie. But aside from Henry, we have not seen there resting place. If the Meatly does make a sequel to BATIM, im hoping to have some of the questions have answers

I WANT MORE!! just imagine if they could escape the studio, what would their life be like if they were a pair of cartoon characters walking around the "real" world. Is the real world even a thing anymore, or is this part of the real world that has been corrupted, and all the Bendyverse is part of a supernatural universe story?

I would feel really angry if I was betrayed and if I was Thomas I would not trust people like joey that’s probably why he doesn’t trust Henry he might of even remember just can’t talk

MIKE DID YOU NOTICE THE LITTLE MIRACLE MUSIC DEPARTMENT THING ON JOEYS WALL WITH THE LETTERS MAYBE THE LITTLE MIRACLE STATIONS WERE PLACES TO BUY OR LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND MAYBE THE MUSIC HAS A THING THAT DOESNT ALLOW BENDY THROUGH

in the wall that allison painted there is a very small draw of allison and tom grabbing their hands ;)

That was great! But I question how willing Susie might have been to go through with her transformation. I think that cut on her neck might have been from something that happened just before the ink machine.

I got a theory what explains toms hate to us, and it explains how the ink is made Allison said that tom thinks your dangerous, which makes sence, but why does tom want to kill you? Simple. Bendy was a human, he caused tom to become boris, he wont trust you because of this situation. Also, how does ink be created? It cant come from nowhere. And, when the ink machine comes up, there is nothing underneath, so... How can a ink supply still run for 30 years? Mining, of course. Also how old is henry? He is 30 years older, and the cartoon was very old. So it may be 50-90

thanks superhorrorbro! now the mysteries at this game are finally clear!

I mean in the begging when I watched bendy and the ink machine for the first time i didn’t know that Susie is Alice angel and the other two characters in chapter 5 was Allison and Tom too

In BATDR, we learn Joey made Allison and Tom what they are now specifically for Henry.

7:19 for me was the best part of this video because I ship Tom and Allison! (>w

Finally. I was waiting for this video. Thanks

Maybe henry was meant to become bendy (his soul reincarnated), but it didnt work and now he is stuck in this loop. (Idk this isnt making sense) That would explain why bendy doesnt have a soul and the other characters have (alice= susie, allison, boris/tom)

At first, i didn't understand the coffins since these people are walking around after becoming ink monsters. What makes the most sense to me is that the ink machine ripped the souls out of the employees and put them into the ink. Which is why there are bodies left behind, yet these people can still be the characters we know today.

I like your theories so much. That's why I like these kind of theories that makes sense to me. So keep it up. :)

I have one thing that you might be able to make a theory about and that is the fact that in bendy chapter 5 against Sammy Lauwrence that he talks to you like he thinks you're bendy.

I want to know how Joey killed them, or maybe like the Ink touches them and they like die or something

Just like a cartoon reel it can only proceed as far it goes in its limit. Once its over than it time to rewind and playthrough again, again, again and again. An eternal loop of reliving the same life events. Now that is terrifying.

Thomas and aliso. Never met with Joey they were far away, and also they completely made of ink. "We are not like you Henry" "Rarely a drop of water in a ocean is noticed"

Awww poor them I can't be live they had a terrible fate

I mean people may think Susie is the worst for killing Boris but it would not happen if it weren't for joey drew but I really miss Boris.

Just wanted you to know, you sound british. I absolutely adore and admire british people because of their accent. This is probably why i enjoy your videos.

Superhorrorbro. I saw Your Chapter 5 gameplay video & saw that You missed something. In reguards to the Key items needed to Bring the ink machine to life as seen in chapter one & the clip of it at 6:24 of Your video, here. There is something about them that is going on You really need to Head to the office of Joey Drew in chapter 5. Despite not glowing when You hover over the drawers of His desk. You CAN open them all up. just like the box in the film vault that contains the last Radio/Mini Jukebox. Take a look what is inside of Joey's desk. I feel it's a clue of some sort.

Superhorrorbro, just want to let you know, in the credits at the end of chapter 5, it says for evil Alice "Allison Pendle", this means Suzie was the first successful ink machine production, just thought I'd let you know

There's a theory on Allison Pendle and Thomas Connor that was pointed out by someone else who was theorizing the connection. They had said that Alison and Thomas never came back to the studio and this was based on the letters in Joey's apartment/house but also on the coffins in the game. From what was said in the other theory is that Allison, Thomas (Tom), and Wally all made it out but Joey tried to get them to come back, so he could put them into the machine like he did with the other workers. The other workers being Grant Cohen, Norman Polk, Susie Campbell, Sammy Lawrence (who's technically still alive but completely covered in ink and madly devoted to the Bendy Ink Monster when the player first meets him but dies later at the hand of Tom via an axe in the back of the head), and many other lost ones who were forced into the ink machine by Joey. Only the MAJOR characters that the player (aka Henry) comes across in the game, have their names on the coffins in the Pentagram Room, seen via the looking glass device. The letters on the bulletin board in Joey's apartment/house also show that Allison Pendle and Thomas "Tom" Connor married because Allison's last name is changed. Now, I know what you're thinking. If Allison Pendle and Thomas Connor made it out alive without going into the ink machine then how does the player (aka Henry) meet Allison Angel and Tom (Boris version) in Chapter 4/Chapter 5? The theory here is that since they made it out alive from the studio, and Joey could never get them to come back is that they're nothing but ink. This is backed up in Chapter 5 when Allison tells Henry (the player) that he can cross the inky river but her and Tom can't because "A drop in an ocean is rarely seen again." This theory comes from MatPat from Game Theory in case anyone was wondering and is NOT my own theory. All credit goes to him and his team. I do like finding more than one way to look at things thus, me finding and watching this video. With all that being said, it is nothing but a theory.

Oh man, you make lots of theories about bendy and the ink machine, it make to me sense and truth I like it, thanks Mike

SEE JOEY DREW use A curse contract With curse ink and with a souless demon

There *has* to be a sequel! They could never just leave it at *that.* Of all things!

When u think about it even closer the main reason tom is always angry towards Henry is due to Allison chatting and giving more attention to Henry which tom wouldn't want that because he knows Allison is his wife For example, Allison giving Henry soup in which tom was angrier and changing his wife(allison) mind about freeing henry from his little prison in hoping for bendy to get him so he wouldn't survive and see Allison again :0

has no one considered the fact that it is all a story?... the most important line "tell us another story uncle joey" at the end has been massively overlooked... even the breakdown of the game, chapter 1, chapter 2 etc like a story, beginning middle and end like a story... I theorise it is all a story based on how joey regrets the events of his past. A story he has told many times also made apparent by the story board on the desk in the apartment.

1st Superhorrorbro your the best youtuber

What if Boris clones remember who they are, but can't speak, and Alice clones can't remember who they are, but are able to speak.

WOW, YOU ARE SMARTER THAN MAT PAT

I just had a thought. Remember that achievement you could get “Let Others Do The Work”? Maybe you can try that at the during the fight where Alice and Boris help. Just let them do it and see what happens. Unfortunately I don’t have the game or else I’d try it myself.

Another thing you missed is that Susie angel says “I won’t lie it touch me again”, referring to Bendy. Allison Pendle came out of the ink machine looking like Alice angel perfect, yet one of the eyes and one of Susies cheeks are black And inky. I believe that Brandy’s original part touched Susies face caring. Caring because the bendy template from the cartoon that both of them were in. Bendy believed he knew her. This also births Susies hate for bendy. And there is the split personality, good side is Susie, the bad is the ink infecting her. These events would also make bendy hurt because someone he knew was afraid of him.

I'm still not 100% convinced about the Tom & Allison are TomBoris & Alice thing, and I kind of think I should be - but they don't have coffin in the studio, they DO have a letter implying they had a life after working for Joey Drew and no other major characters who got 'inked' have amnesia (I'm not even sure the Searchers have it) and 'Allison' doesn't even identify as 'Allison', just 'Alice'. I know there's the credits thing (though Bertrum's name doesn't appear over a picture of himself, but rather The Projectionist) and it does 'make sense' but what we're presented with in-game just doesn't seem to quite add up IMO. I'm happy to be proven wrong, very happy, but i'm still a bit unconvinced.

You're forgetting that the letter says that the pair of them are very busy and not able to slip away. You are also forgetting that the scene in Joey's house is played out of order. It is the start, he has already invited everyone but Henry (Whom is the last one as he is the original Bendy). The 2 letters on his bulliten board are from the only people who rejected, or were unable to respond to his invitation. You are also forgetting that any character that doesn't have a human soul in their body dissolves into Ink. Alice at the end before you go into the Demon Bendy fight says "A drop of water that falls into the ocean in rarely seen again" This implies that she and Tom will dissolve if they enter the ink. Thus they can't be human. The reason the demon Alice is so scared of the ink was because the character has memories of being non-human. Remember she was born twice. The first time she was little more than ink. The second time however, she was "An Angel" To quote her. You have to remember that in this world there are 2 of every character, also characters existed in a physical body before they had human souls put into them. Not to mention you don't actually EVER find Allison, or Tom's coffins in the game. However, every other character that doesn't dissolve into Ink after death has a coffin. Peadmont, Susie, The projector guy, all of them. They all have coffins inside of the studio, but "Allison" and "Tom" don't. Not anywhere. The characters were made from just ink. But they weren't alive enough. There is an audio log from joey saying "If you're saying our creations are soulless then we'll give them a soul." This means that all the characters had lives, and memories from before they were given human souls. This however only applies to those who don't become ink again after their deaths. Tom and Allison are happy though, they are living far away, and Allison is becoming as famous as she deserves to be. Tom is still tinkering following her from place to place.

Ok I think by now everyone will know that in chapter 5 during the beast bendy lever fight, there are 2 hand prints with the words "I still remember my name". Well that was Tom's little room when he was turned into "Boris" but he answers to "Tom" instead.

What Joey did is completly inhumane and disgusting, also betrayal. I can't believe Joey, a cartoon director built a body-changing machine, and also then making a machine trapping henry forever, or possibly end at BatDR

MORE THEORIES WOO

Tbh Allison and Tom looks so cute together like you can’t deny-

Hello super horror bro I have a theory you know the lost ones a in chapter 4-5 I think they are all Henry’s that have kept on trying to get to the end and destroy bendy but if you have other pls reply back to me thanks for reading my comment 😀😀

!!! it makes sense how the clone of borris responds to tom because originally he was thomas conners and in one of the experiment capsules it says "I still remember my name" illuminate conformed

It's unfortunate that now we know Allison in the ink realm wasn;t human. and that she was created out of ink like Audrey and Henry to represent the person.

Can we still ship Alison and Thomas if there married?

I think that Henry has been Bendy all along wich explains the fear Tom Boris had initially but in this time Joey didn't remove all the memories in a Titanfall thing style

This theory makes a lot of sense.... for some reason someone (treecicle) theorized that the whole game was movie or something.... that theory made no sense

But if you here in chapter 5 joey said in the recording "I want you to bring alice to life once again" it was all true!

Bro ALL your theories or correct but you must understand one thing THIS IS ALL A FILM as proof there are two of Henry's office. One in the first floor and the other being in the 5th floor..... The meatly did this on purpose to let us know that Joey made a movie in his imagination. The storyboard in the house prooves this as well and he invited henry to be the Star.....

This is EXACTLY what I theoried about all of their pasts. I noticed several clues, scanning EVERYTHING because I'm a young (varied and traditional cartoon)artist myself(I make my own characters based off of some several cartoons and even from Mickey Mouse). After digging deep and looking into everything, I kind of wondered why that certain letter sent to Joey by Alison had her last name of 'Connor'. I then figured the two were married, and it explains how the two bond in the cartoon world, and even how Thomas responds to Alison. I also would've figured that Susie was obviously obsessed with Alice, that she accepted it to meet with Joey and take the deal(as in for, didn't end well). And since Alison took Susie's role, it was one of the large influences that lead Susie to go to Joey. Including that Thomas was Alison's husband, he rooted for her and ignoring about Susie, which angered her.

Why is everyone ignoring the Ink Machine in Joeys house kick starting when the little girl speaks?

ur the best superhorrorbro, love you ur vids!!!!

Only 3 out of 8 experiments were successful Boris , Tom ,and Allison

Even Susie has a sad story. i feel bad for her, she loved her character so much and just wanted her to be loved like she loved Alice, but thanks to Joey the Douche bag, everyone is miserable

I still cant believe BATIM is over BATIM=Bendy and the ink machine

Could Tom be the lost one who ‘still remembers their name”?? Think about it. Tons of Boris’, they had to be created. Maybe Tom remembered everything and Sammy locked him up. Tom fought back and ended up having a damaged voice, that’s why he can’t talk. He remembers everything, even the process of being changed, even his name, but he can’t tell anybody. Just think about that :D

What im on the no viewers and no like wtf

Will there be videos in the future to clear up the possible happenings of the others as well? I've been hoping Bendy week was going to end with something like that. Guess you can't fit all of the studio workers into one video. Like mentioned before I have theories set in stone for all studio workers...except for Lacie and Wally. This game is really mysterious. Maybe one day all answers will be found.

I feel so bad the game has come to an end! *cries* But I like your commentary so much Mike! You make it sound so interesting! And very informative too. Keep up the good work!

I think the barn is instead the location of "Joey Drew Studios". Just hear me out, if you look at the room you first see the ink machine, it looks rather like a barn, the same barn the Alison drew on the wall perhaps?

My theory: Alison replaced Susie and so ,logically thinking, Joey would turn to Alison first for bringing Alice Angel to life. The reason why Thomas agreed to be made into Boris is because his wife's (Alison) transformation went wrong. She became darker than her normal self because the ink machine wasn't ready. Thus this is the reason why the Alice Angel in Chapter 3 is evil. It swapped her personality and Thomas felt bad about it, so he agreed to turn into Boris. He stumbled across the Alice Angel from the end of Chapter 4 and thought his wife had managed to finally find a way to get her personality back to normal, not knowing that Joey had contacted Susie, that Susie is the Alice Angel he is with and that Susie killed his wife. Maybe the reason why the Alice Angel in Chapter 3 had a deformed face was because of this: She almost had her personality back under control and went to look for her husband Thomas and was attacked by Bendy, and was then reborn deformed, so she began killing the Butcher Gang members and the Boris Clones to be beautiful again. The Boris we teamed up with in Chapter 3 may have been Wally Franks, hence the reason why Alice wanted him. Or maybe: Susie and Alison BOTH went in the machine, combining them as one. Then Bendy killed the Alice Angel body they shared, thus separating them into two different bodies. Meaning the Alice Angel we met in Chapter 3 could have been Susie and the Alice Angel we met at the end of Chapter 4 could have been Alison

"Why is Bendy so flawed?" *disney ad pops up*

you know, as someone who does calligraphy and has made their own ink before for fun, I've been thinking and wondering on the TYPE of ink the notorious ink may be. you see, there's a type of ink that's one of the preferred inks for artwork and line and inking for comics and cartooning, carbon ink. It's also known as india ink, lampblack, and bone black, and is commonly made from very fine particles of soot or finely ground burnt material that has been reduced to its carbon state, often bone and other animal materials, mixed with water once the char is ground. The more I think about those coffins around the studio, the more I wonder exactly what makes up the ink to give it such unnatural properties, and how it might have been made. That might be a bit too dark to be an actual thing in the game though, but it is something that i have begun to wonder about.

I find it very interesting that the note next to the letter from Allison Connor references the Bible verse Philippians 2:3, which says Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, always counting others before yourself. Joey Drew did the opposite of that, which caused the destruction of his company.

I think Tom knows everything ( mostly ) but in the show he never talked so he was never able to tell Allison what happend ( also when the were humans it is a theory that they were married , reminds me of something in fnaf * cough cough springtrap and ballora * ) oh wait that was already mentioned in the video

everyone talking about thomas and allison but damn i feel so bad for susie

I Think Susie Is Evil Because Joey Said When She Became Alice Getting Hearts Would Make Her Perfect

9:00 Sammy: *I don't feel good Mr. Stein*
