Warning : freebooter beforehand forDark Matterseason 1 , episode 9 , " Entanglement . "
Summary
Dark Matterseason 1 , sequence 9 , " Entanglement , " is the end of the Apple TV+ sci - fi show ’s inaugural run , and while it was a thrilling ride , it leaves several question unanswered . As the leader of theDark Mattercast , Joel Edgerton play several versions of Jason Dessenthroughout the tale . The mind - bending multiverse account requires incredibly active viewership to keep up with the narration , but the experience is a rewarding one . adapt from a 2016 sci - fi novel of the same name , Dark Matterdiffers from the Good Book in many way . Perhaps most notably , the show ’s ending suggests there ’s more to get along .
Many ofthe open - terminated mysteries inDark Matterseason 1 sense intentionally placed ; put there to cause argumentation among the show ’s viewership . Some of the questions raised do n’t particularly require answers for the taradiddle to make sense , and others are just compelling to mull upon . On the other hired man , some of the burning dubiousness demand answers , but it ’s indecipherable if there ’s an in - universe explanation . However , this is arguably a big part of what makesDark Matterso interesting .
Apple TV+ ’s Dark Matter uses real scientific concepts to craft its interdimensional travel , but how does Jason ’s “ Box ” employment in the show ?
9What Happened To The Other Box Pilots?
Blair Caplan is the only lost pilot who shows up again
Jason2 was n’t the first fiber to travel through the multiverse within the walls of his life ’s work . The show references several other " box pilot " who get going before him but never returned to their native man . None of these other explorer are named in the original book , but the adjustment adds the role of Amanda Brugel ’s Blair Caplan - the other only named box pilot who came before Jason2.Blair2 ’s fate is see in the show , as she has take recourse in a dark existence where immense white Anglo-Saxon Protestant - like creatures have kill almost everything . The destiny of the other pilot film is never addressed .
The fear of the experience likely led them to some macabre populace , as the universe on the other side of the loge ’s doorway is always brooding of the cowcatcher ’s excited mindset .
The show provides enough information to harvest a decorous understanding of what would have hap to Jason2 ’s box pioneers . The box is name on several occasions as being notoriously unmanageable to pilot , with only Jason2 becoming a master of the task . So , the other box pilot in all probability just got lost in the multiverse , unable to return to their original reality . The fear of the experience likely led them to some macabre worlds , as the creation on the other side of the box ’s door is always pondering of the pilot ’s aroused outlook .

8Where Will Leighton Vance Of Jason2’s World End Up?
Leighton looks to be (mostly) enjoying his journey in the box
TheDark Matterseason 1 finale evidence the version of Leighton Vance who did n’t run Velocity Laboratories , journeying through the multiverse . He seems to be suffer a very enjoyable time , with the smile on his face being the biggest clue . Enjoyment aside , Dark Matterreveals very little about the worldly concern Leighton has visit , other than the freakish getup he ’s have on in the closing consequence of " Entanglement . " He ’s last shown injecting himself with more of Ryan ’s compound - Lavender Fairy - and continuing his dangerous undertaking .
This version of Leighton is n’t the only looping thatDark Matterdoesn’t compensate all that much tending to . The Leighton from Jason2 ’s Earth heads into the box to postdate Jasonand Amanda when they fly the coop . When he was last shown , he appear to be in approximate contour , but no explanation was provided regarding how he had stop up in such a state of matter . He may have finally reelect to safe , or he may have become stuck in a strange world when he ran out of ampoules . Alternatively , he could have knuckle under to his combat injury and met a grisly end .
7How Many Alternate Versions Of Himself Did Jason Create?
Jason Dessen is now the most commonly occurring man in Chicago
The multiverse is non-finite , so enumerate the number of other Jason Dessens inDark Matterwould speedily become a fruitless chore . Initially , it seemed as though onlythe story ’s main Jason and Jason2would be the only rendering of the part with any real wallop on the story . During the last few episodes , that hypothesis became a thing of the past . As it turn out , unnumberable other iterations of Jason Dessen had also fought hard to get hometo their married woman and nipper . So , Jason2 ’s attempts to immingle inwere likely always doom to fail .
There ’s no real way of make it at an exact figure for how many Jasons get in back in their original Chicago , but it ’s safe to say there were at least 100 , but in all likelihood more . Worryingly , even more could have been on the way , and even arrived after Jason depart with his kin . Just asmany version of Jason Dessen likely perished on their journeying nursing home , others may have been delayed too . As large and unknown as the physique was by the end of " Entanglement , " it probably go on to grow .
WhatDark Matteralso never addresses is what happens to all the " spare " Jasons after the story ends .
Dark Matter (2024): Jason Dessen is thrust into an alternate reality where he must confront an ominous version of himself. His quest to return to his original life leads him on a challenging journey to reunite with his family, navigating the complexities of parallel existences.
6What Happened To The Blair Who Found Jason2?
Jason2 later shows up without Blair in tow
Blair was Daniela ’s intimate throughoutDark Matter , listening to her concerns about how " Jason " had changed and how strangely he ’d been move . She endeavor to tread in the save the twenty-four hours in " Entanglement , " as she heads to the Dessen sept household and stumbles across Jason2 and another multiversal copy holding them both at gunpoint . Although Blair gains control of the billet with a well - timed eruption of macer , she ’s never find again after she disarms the other Jason and demands to hump what ’s going on .
Unfortunately , with the Dessens heading into the loge at the end ofDark Matterseason 1 , they may never know what happened to their family supporter either .
Jason2 arrives to economize the Dessens from his rogue variants , but Blair is n’t with him . So , it ’s unclear exactly what happened to her . Jason2 is bound and connect when Blair find him , so the most potential account is that he was freed by either Blair or the other Jason present at the time . Either way , it does n’t explicate why she vanishes from the story after that scene . unluckily , with the Dessens heading into the box seat at the end ofDark Matterseason 1 , they may never know what happened to their menage friend either .
5Why Was Ryan Holder Looking For Amanda Lucas?
The pair meet in Dark Matter’s futuristic Chicago
TheDark Matterseason 1 coda confirms thatJason2 stranded Ryan Holder in the same futuristic Chicagothat Amanda eventually opt to call abode . Neither persona know each other , as confirm by their brief exchange at the final stage of " Entanglement . " However , Ryan also says he ’s been looking for her , so it beg the question of what he needed her for and how he recognise who she was in the first place .
The Dark Matter TV show is an adjustment of a 2016 ’s sci - fi novel by the same name , but there ’s a agency they could be part of the same continuity .
Moments before in the instalment , Ryan is shown presumptively perfect his interpretation of Lavander Fairy , which would enable him to travel through the multiverse in Jason2 ’s box and seek to come back to his own realism . If this is the case , Amanda is n’t a scientist , so she would n’t be capable to facilitate much in that electrical capacity . On the other deal , she does have a chronicle of helping caravan box pilots - which Ryan may somehow be aware of .
4Did Daniela Choose The Right Version Of Her Husband?
Jason2 was technically the only “wrong” Jason
Daniela is confront with what is fundamentally an unsolvable quandary . Although the Jason she chooses is the versionDark Matterhas been come after throughout , his call to the title of the true Jason Dessen is n’t any more or less legitimate than his multiversal copy . The only Jason who should unquestionably be out of the running play is Jason2 , who never married Daniela in his original cosmos .
Every other Jason Dessen in the story was exactly the same until the moment they step into the box with Amanda as they fled Velocity . After that , every choice they made and discrepancy in their journey gradually changed what it was they feel . So , while they may not all have been identical any longer , there ’s nothing to say that the Jason who gain back Daniela is technically the right one . In other language , there is n’t really a right answer .
3What Will Jason2 Do Now?
The story’s villain survives the events of Dark Matter’s finale
Jason is forced to kill Jason2 in the original script by Blake Crouch , but the villain subsist in the show . This is a Brobdingnagian change , and it mean Jason2 can go on to go some kind of life , even if it is in a Chicago filled with men who have the same face as him . He could have more ampoules , so it ’s possible he may head for the boxwood and take flight again into the multiverse , but he does n’t seem to have a plan when he ’s shown ruminating on his action near the remainder of theDark Matterseason 1 finale .
Even though everything that ’s happened to him is his own fault , Jason2 realizes that he ’s lose dead everything he had .
Even though everything that ’s pass off to him is his own fault , Jason2 realizes that he ’s lost perfectly everything he had . The Jason who bound him in " Entanglement " tell Jason2 that his version of Amanda choke horribly in another universe , who was arguably the only other person who Jason2 had to return to if he chose that road . Now that he ’s also lost Daniela and Charlie to a more true variant of the character , the hereafter does n’t look too hopeful for Jason2 . He ’s especially in peril now too , with a horde of angry Jasons range the city .
2Which World Was Behind The Door When Charlie Opened The Box?
Charlie’s inexperience piloting the box could take the Dessens to a fascinating new universe
Daniela and Charlie had never been in the boxful before the end of " Entanglement,“and the alloy cube often is n’t very forgiving of novel pilot burner . So , there ’s no guarantee that the Dessen class will get lucky and country in a suitable universe on the first try . Fate may be on their side , though , as the reunite trio all depend to be in veneration of the brilliant light that make out through the doorway at the end of theDark Matterseason 1 finish .
The look on the look of the Dessen family would certainly fit with retiring reactions to characters witnessing the sci - fi - inspired world for the first time .
One theory is the Dessens shoot down in the futurist Chicago , where Ryan and Amanda currently domicile . The feeling on the faces of the Dessen house would certainly correspond with past reactions to characters witness the sci - fi - inspired reality for the first time . This universe is used very slenderly in the book of account , and it ’s never revisit after Jason and Amanda sidetrack it together . So , it would be great for it to receive even more attention than it already has in the Apple TV+ adaptation .
1Will There Be A Dark Matter Season 2?
Apple TV+ teases a sequel that never happened in book form
Dark Matterhas been market as a modified series throughout its run , which very often means there are no programme to develop further seasons . Interestingly , Dark Matterends with clear signs that Apple TV+ may have more storey to tell within the same canon . Although the Dessen family ’s taradiddle is arguably over with their escape into the multiverse , the reappearance of other fictitious character near the close of"Entanglement " feels like a setup forDark Matterseason 2 .
Dark Matter sequence 7 , " In the Fires of Dead Stars , " includes a present moment that suggests the show wo n’t be the only version of Blake Crouch ’s oeuvre .
Not only is a version of Leighton Vance shown , but Ryan also stick in himself to Amanda in the futuristic Chicago , at once after Ryan has developed his own version of Lavander Fairy . The meeting inculpate that Ryan need Amanda ’s assistance with something now he ’s perfected his compound . What ’s obscure is that Ryan even states he does n’t lie with Amanda , but he has been looking for her . Such a huge dangle thread has to mean Apple TV+ is at least deliberate another season ofDark Matterto remain the story .
