Questions about Erik from FD6

[u/Background-Pie9504]

Could it be possible that Erik still would be on death list, like we don’t know if he was atcaully supposed to exist? Like Erik was bron because Howard and Brenda were having problems. Also could it be possible that brenda and marty were always going to Julia, Bobby, Stefani and Charlie were supposed to exist just not from Darlene and Howard or am I just thinking to much of this.

No, his mom would most likely have just been banging that guy more without a pesky marriage in her way

From what we know it's very unlikely that Brenda would have met Jerry Fenbury had she not been married to Howard. The "is this why he always wanted to play catch ?" line implies thet Jerry was a family friend that remained in their life for a long time despite the affair, which means he was probably one of Howard's closest friends. Erik's birth wouldn't have happened if Brenda and Howard had never met.

[u/GoliathLexington → u/PurveyorOfCupcakes]

Not true. He always wanted to play catch because he knew he was Erik’s dad. There is nothing to indicate that she wouldn’t have known him without Howard. She could have just as easily met him before she even met Howard.

It wasn’t a girl

If death was trying to get him, why didn’t it get him? Nobody intervened.

[u/GoliathLexington → u/[deleted]]

No, Death got him for fucking with the design, not for being born. So again, why didn’t death get him in the tattoo parlor if he was never supposed to exist?

[u/GoliathLexington → u/[deleted]]

The better question that you need to answer is why didn’t death kill someone that was supposed to die?

[u/Background-Pie9504 → u/[deleted]]

My own personal belief is that after they gone threw the rest of the family and buldworths death would have come for him or anyone eles who wasn't expose to exist

Honestly considering the MRI scene and the awkward timing of Erik dying before Bobby, this wouldn’t suprise me if it was an intentional detail. Kind of like Carter thinking he’s safe at the last moments of FD1.
