The original ending was exactly the same....except at the end when you see the Crains chilling on Luke's anniversary of being clean....The Red Room window is in the back ground. Because that was the clue (that nobody noticed, not until the last ep) that all those random rooms (Theo's dance room, Steve's game room, Olivia's reading room, etc.) all took place in The Red Room. The rooms looked different but the same window was there.
So the season was supposed to end with them still trapped in The Red Room. Which makes all the sappy stuff ok because it was intended to fool you....but at the last minute the creator was like "nah, it's too dark and depressing" so he just took the window out, but left the happy stuff in there. Which by itself, obviously doesn't fit the rest of the series.
Regardless, dope season over all and it's pretty much guaranteed there's gonna be a season 2 at some point. Apparently without the Crains....which is dumb to me butwhatever. If he's smart he'll bring a couple of them in (Theo is an obvious choice, since she's psychic) and then maybe in a later season he can get back into what happened to them.

might still be if you look at the position/symmetrics of that mirror during their celebration, and brehs cake Is red too, could the house have leveled up with the mind fukkery

Nah....
I'd be willing to entertain any theory if the writer didn't point blank say "this is a happy ending". He made it a point to say the ending wasn't open to interpretation.
That ending.
I'd still give it a 7 or 8/10 though, because it had some legit creepy moments, was fairly entertaining, and had some great casting
Peep "Homecoming" next. You too @NormanConnors if you haven't already.

The biggest thing I didn't get was...
I'm pretty sure they'll make a season 2 and it'll probably be a prequel with the Hills or maybe Poppy.
Why did Nell go back in time to scare herself?

My interpretation, and also why I don't subscribe to the claims of the season having a happy ending, is that it was a function of the house luring her back. I assumed it was her trying to warn herself at first, too, but it isn't like they ever communicate. She's just being scared to death. Those scares just lead to her going back to the house in hope for a resolution, being taken under its influence and, killing herself. It gets even more morbid when you realize the wife manipulates her husband into killing himself to save his remaining children. It's painted as a "happy" ending but it's really not
That's interesting and will be their way to a second season, especially because Theo is the wife of the writer/director so she would know these things.
