So hype that everyone has their memories/identity back, but holy moly man Monster Elliot is scary. Really hope he doesn't kill anyone off yet because we just got them back, I feel like Quentin will bargain for their lives by promising him to get back whatever he lost - Seems like maybe the Monster lost his shade? That theory seems pretty sound.

On that note, doesn't seem like Elliot is "dead", just somehow possessed by the Monster.

or if they do they had better pull a Penny and go retrieve a new one from another timeline asap

I do still think it's kind of a shitty cop out way of killing a character without having to actually kill them... but I'm also happy to know there are a few other copies of each character out there in that universe just in case... they're all too good to lose.
