I totally agree. We saw Syd manipulated by the Shadow King through Melanie last week. Showing Syd edited and select snippets of things that had occurred that would support his manipulation.

This. The SK manipulated Syd, and then he manipulated David against himself so that he was almost completely hating himself, and believing he was delusional and didn’t really deserve love like any other person. I fully believe that ‘all this already happened’ and future Syd has lived this timeline, so the only reason…

I’m 100% on Team David. I didn’t like the choice of the assault angle, but I’m choosing to believe that everyone else is deluded more than likely by the Shadow King.
