muthafukka with these theories...
Something else I thought of after reading this:
Why would Elliot's mother be living in Brooklyn all of a sudden? Wasn't Elliot from New Jersey?
It all makes sense now. She's not really there.
On the one hand, this theory is so crazy its brilliant. And everything fits.
On the other hand, its basically kind of a reverse version of a plot that was already on an episode of "The Magicians" this year,
where the main character was trapped in an illusion of a mental institution with "dream world" versions of the rest of the show's cast.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
