I think I know what’s in Bella’s room.
don’t look at this if you haven’t finished
I’m on my phone so I’m sorry I can’t put the photos where I need them so please bear with me.
So the whole basis of my thought process of this is from a few things:
1: The entire drunk adventure in Bella’s house. All the stuff we ‘do’ and interact was one thing and what we actually did is the other eg. Washing dishes and the Soldier. We see no pics of James and Bella.
2:The Canonicity of Bella and MCs Kiss in ep 2.
This happens regardless , this happens regardless. This also awakes
Bella’s sexual drive.
3: The infamous kiss in the library . MCs quote essentially marks that he called for help . Not for her, Bella, but for himself. This is only after you pursue and interact with her. More on this later.
4: The doors monologue, ‘ protect you or what you value on the inside , something you never want to see’. We see Bella in this montage.
5: Sober investigations . Bella gets mad at us for inspecting the room, Jill only knows the room as locked and was probably noted to never question it. If we use the picture that one user posted; the picture with the boots via looking under the door, we know that ‘something’ is there .
6: Comparisons between lovers. This one really caught me as weird , in 9 there’s moments where Bella sees James in MC . Like she is using the body of MC and imagining James in his place.
7: Paradigm Shift: ‘a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions.’ This title applies to various characters, the DIKS, Tara , Zoey and Quinn. But most especially to the MGS and how they interact. They are now friends , great friends even . Everyone is getting along, until , what I will purpose is the secret inside Bella’s room.
So after this thought process , this is what I believe is inside Bella’s locked room. And this is why in the end Maya looks at MC in aghast and MC looks dumbfounded and horrified.
It’s a room with all of James’s stuff . Clothes , materialistic stuff, maybe even all there photos. But at the centre of the room is what’s has our attention.
It’s a doll , or a golem if you will, of MC or James. and I don’t necessarily mean it as an only a sex doll. I mean it as in object to cope.
She is basically using James personal effects and MCs likeness as a doll to grieve over. I wouldn’t be surprised if the doll is wearing the gym gear from ep. 5 .
The photos that we don’t see throughout the house either has the head of James cut out /replaced with MC.
I think that we actually did see a guy in the room and we just got confused on what door we entered. Something we’ll see if a drunk memory plays after we GTFO of Bella’s next episode.
She’s compiling her ‘ instinctual attraction’ to MC with her memories and personal items of James to essential not get over her husband by proxy. This is why when we kiss her or flirt with her , while she is receptive, she can’t break the barrier between the two. I also this will affect whose face is on the doll or how much MC is involved on the doll.
This will break or atleast separate everyone from Bella’s from one way or the other . This will be another example of paradigm shift.
Needless to say with Derek needing medical attention we need to leave the house but the damage will be done. I nearly think we will get Bella’s flashback . This will cause Bella’s to confront her trauma and maybe Jill will shed some light on how they know eachother .
I don't think it will be that easy.
First of all, Isabella and Neil have a favorite song in common. Then Neil and the MC can do yoga. Who is the yoga master outside of the gym? Isabella. The MC can do tennis pretty well, as Jill has found out. How can he do that? Neil and the MC couldn't afford a proper trainer. Well, Isabella also plays tennis. Isabella also once said that she knew guys like the MC. Like father, like son, and by that I mean James.
My guess is that Neil and James were friends. That's probably why Isabella knows Neil and little MC too. Isabella has experience with boys' haircuts and who sits on the stairs and gets their hair cut by Isabella at the age of 19? The MC.
We know that James and Isabella had two big arguments. One was a long time ago and the other was only 2 or 3 years ago. So I think that little MC was at the Roberts' house a few times as a child. Then something happened and they went their separate ways. The MC (child) simply forgot about Isabella and James. Maybe the MC was the little boy who fell into the pool and couldn't swim. Derek only accepted in EP8 so that the MC could swim. There was definitely a time when the MC couldn't swim yet. Hypoxia can trigger retrograde amnesia.
A year later, there is an argument between Isabella and James about James' mother. Why is that? James, a soldier, has to go on a mission abroad and wants to know that his mother is taken care of. But Isabella's work is very important to her and she can't look after James' mother full-time. Who is James' mother? Agnes. Agnes hasn't seen her son for a long time. Isabella hasn't seen James for years either. A huge argument and James can't or won't contact Isabella. DPC leaves it open here whether James fell or not.
Jill was surprised that Isabella had locked the door. This leads to the conclusion that the door was not locked before and Jill knows what is in this room. But Jill does not know the context and did not want to tell the MC because it is Isabella's business. Up until EP9, no important girl, apart from Isabella and Zoey, knows the MC's father. It is only in EP9 that we enter the MC's last name ourselves. But he already had one in EP1. Who had to show an ID to borrow books? That is how Isabella found out the MC's last name and knew that it was her little MC from back then. Neil's son.
Isabella then locked the room because it brings back memories of the time Isabella, James, Neil and the little MC spent together. When I think about it, it could even be so that Sage is the first LI, which was a suspicion. Why? Isabella and Sage became close relatively quickly. In EP9, Sage said yes, so she and Isabella have been spending a lot of time together lately. Girl talk. Where is your husband, why don't you have any kids, etc. Isabella might have revealed something after that, so she considered a small child to be her son, but it ended because there was an accident in her pool. She might also have mentioned Neil's name. Neil... (last name). Sage didn't know the MC's father's name because he didn't mention it to her before EP9. When Sage heard Isabella's name, it wasn't a big deal for her. But her facial expression when the MC told Sage his father's full name somehow suggests that she was tying up two loose ends. But she didn't tell the MC because it's not Sage's place to say it and the MC doesn't remember it either and she wouldn't have been sure either.
The Christmas at Isabella's is canon and it's also canon so that Maya goes into the room with the MC. That's why the MC is permanently connected to Maya and Derek. That's why there's the Maya tuition problem. The MC has to help Maya to get to this point. Maya and Derek lead the MC to his lost memories. Be it out of romance or gratitude for the MC's help.
Everyone, except Isabella, was unsure until EP11 if the MC was the Isabella MC. Names often appear twice. But what happens in EP11? Derek reads Lynette's diary. Lynette fucks Neil. Identity confirmed.
What does it say on Derek's shirt? Just a flesh wound. What kind of picture do we see? That of a knight. Who brings a sword to open a bottle of champagne? Derek. Tradition? Patrick prevented everything that would have been dangerous for Helen. So it's a whole new tradition. Who injured their finger before? Ashley and Derek were there. What an inspiration. Yes, this champagne is also something special if you look at the label. "White Valley, 1998". What date is on Maya's calendar? 2017. Who turned 19? The MC. We also see a crown. The MC is the prince and MJ are the princesses. Well, Derek makes everything worse, as he once said himself. I think he just wanted to cut his finger on purpose and make it look like an accident. But Helen's genes are having an effect on Derek. What did Maya say to Derek in EP8? Their genes are only 99% the same.
But why all this? The Ice Queen Isabella doesn't want to reveal their shared past to the MC and Isabella is the Ice Queen because she comes with a bowl full of ice when Maya opens the door and stands in the doorway with the MC.
What did the MC say to Sage? "There is no going back to not knowing"
The MC's Li will have stayed with him. In the case of MJ, Josy will have stayed with the MC because Patrick could go to the hospital. This gives Josy and the MC time to confess their love to each other if the MC has confessed his love to Maya beforehand.
No idea if it will happen, but it's nice to read.
