All they knew was that, as with all vision quests, they needed to finish the story in order to wake up.
Their travels took them to a dive bar — a cantina of sorts, you might say — where they encountered Ethan, aka “Dack Romo” , a bounty hunter with a chiseled jawline and a clue about their next move.
Hope used the last name Marshall at the time, hence the Galactic Dominion’s leader “Lord Marshall” being — wait for it — Hope! And if you were surprised by that turn of events, you probably lost your damn mind when none other than Summer Fontana showed up to rescue the group.
Grown-up Hope explained that she heard about Lizzie’s story back in the day — thanks to a nosy Josie reading Lizzie’s diary and gossiping to the other witches — and wrote a sequel of her own, one in which she’s the hero and the Big Bad is actually The Hollow.
None of them are the same people they were when those stories were written back in the day, and the only reason Hope needed to beat Malivore as a tribrid was because she didn’t have anyone else to fight by her side.
* And speaking of wendigo attacks, I’m glad that MG and Kaleb are good again.
