Paradise’s Single Wildest Fan Theory Just Officially Became Reality

by

With only one episode remaining in Season 2 of Paradise, the show just surprised viewers by confirming a popular fan theory in Episode 7. Paradise is a standout series currently streaming, and it’s particularly notable that Season 2 hasn’t suffered the typical dip in quality often seen in second seasons—many viewers actually think it’s even better than the first.

The first season of the show was full of surprises, starting with the unexpected death of President Cal and the reveal that Xavier and everyone else were living in an underground bunker under an artificial sky after a major disaster. The show continued to shock and innovate, with twists like the discovery that Xavier’s wife, Teri, was actually still alive, and the shocking truth about Jane’s ruthless nature.

Season 2 continues to deliver, and Episode 7 was especially impactful. A popular fan theory that had been widely discussed online was confirmed, and that was just one of the surprising events in this next-to-last episode of the season.

Season 2, Episode 7 Revealed Link Is Sinatra’s Son, Dylan

The second season of the show featured new characters like Annie, played by Shailene Woodley, and Link, played by Thomas Doherty. Annie and Link eventually connect, fall in love, and share a night together that leads to Annie becoming pregnant. From the beginning, viewers speculated about Link’s character due to his enigmatic nature.

People started to think he was from another reality, or had somehow time-traveled, because he didn’t recognize common cultural references. This eventually led to a wild theory: that he was actually Dylan, the long-lost son of the show’s villain, Sinatra. But that idea just seemed too unbelievable.

It seems the writers of Paradise have confirmed a major connection: Link is actually Dylan. While he’d only been called Link up until then, in Episode 7, a member of his group slips and calls him Dylan while standing with Sinatra. This prompts Sinatra to ask for his birthday, and she discovers it matches the birthdate of her son.

Some viewers think Link might be tricking Dylan by pretending to know about her past with Sinatra, but this hasn’t been confirmed. However, the show strongly implies that Dylan is genuinely who she claims to be. For example, Sinatra tells her husband, “It worked,” which suggests she intentionally tried to reconnect with Dylan.

If Link is actually Dylan, as it appears, this likely proves the time travel idea presented in the story. This fits with what we saw in Episode 6, where a man predicted Jane would become a killer right after she was born. These discoveries are already quite surprising, and Episode 7 continued to build on them.

Episode 7 Concluded With A Flood Of Major Plot Points

The show Paradise really surprised viewers in Season 2, Episode 7, not only with the revelation that Link is actually Dylan, but with a potentially deadly attack. Jane, a secondary villain, was violently attacked in the shower and is in critical condition. What shocked audiences even more was the identity of her attacker: Dr. Gabriela Torabi.

Gabriela had been becoming more assertive, particularly after she firmly told Sinatra she wouldn’t continue as her therapist and stopped trying to help her. This new outburst, however, is a significant change, as she’s never acted violently before. Still, given the circumstances, it’s understandable why she felt so desperate.

It’s pretty clear Sinatra is the main villain, pulling the strings behind everything happening in the bunker. However, Jane is even more dangerous, and she’s willing to kill anyone Sinatra orders her to. While she appears to be dead, it’s hard to believe they’d eliminate her character so quickly, though the show has surprised us before with unexpected twists.

Xavier and Teri appear to be returning to the bunker, and the mystery surrounding Alex—is it a robot, artificial intelligence, a real person, or something else?—will finally be solved. The episode concludes with Sinatra greeting Alex, suggesting a reveal is imminent.

What Does This Mean For Paradise’s Future?

Okay, so the season finale of Paradise has a lot to wrap up, which is a little daunting! Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like everything will be resolved in just one episode. I’m really hoping we get some answers in the finale, but the good news is Season 3 is already happening, so they have plenty of time to fully explore all the mysteries and give us the satisfying conclusions we’re looking for. As a fan, I’m feeling cautiously optimistic!

Whether you’re looking at Episode 8 or the rest of Season 3, Episode 7 has huge consequences for what happens next. If time travel is involved, it completely changes the direction of the story.

Now that time travel is possible, could they prevent the disaster that wiped out most of humanity? Henry suggested that’s what was needed most. Or could they bring back characters who died, like Billy and Annie? If Dylan survived, it seems like anything is possible.

It’s also worth wondering what Sinatra is really planning. For a long time, she appeared to be the main antagonist, but now she claims she’s trying to help everyone. While her actions are often questionable, the show is starting to suggest she might have good intentions after all.

There’s still a lot to learn about Paradise, and the recent hint that Link might actually be Dylan – something fans have guessed for a while – suggests anything could happen. It feels like all options are now open, even the surprising ones.
