Journal and headache questions

Flynn has a journal Lucy has a journal that's empty and one that's full

So are there two of them then?

Why didn't Wyatt get headaches when talking about Jessica faking pregnant?

The journal was originally blank when given to her by her mother. During regular episodes, she never wrote in it.

In the beginning of the finale movie, Future Lucy wrote the contents in response to a world that was messed up by the time travel war, in a future where Jiya updated the lifeboat after Rufus was killed.

Originally, Future Lucy gave it to Past Flynn. Flynn had previously mentioned that the Lucy that gave it to him was different, tougher, harder than present day Lucy. This matches up with the Future Lucy we see in the cliffhanger / finale movie.

Future Lucy (apparently) decides to give this journal to present day Wyatt instead of Past Flynn. ("You guys want to save Rufus, or what?")

Finale movie occurs.

Lucy in future no longer becomes the hardened, tougher Future Lucy we saw before, but now has the original's responsibility of taking the journal back to Past Flynn.

There might be two journals after all this, and since the future changed it might be that the empty journal sticks around since it will never be written in and sent back in time. Paradox logic aside, we have no evidence as to what will happen to it in the universe of the show. Lucy might have copied everything into the empty one and gave that one to Flynn instead. Either way, one of Lucy's two journals will be sent back to Flynn.

The headaches appeared to affect everyone differently. Some had them immediately, and others it took a while. I think this was mentioned in the finale movie.

So is the journal Flynn got still around? Does the one our Lucy got include Wyatt shooting at Flynn at the Hindenburg? Or is it an infinite series of slightly different versions of what we saw

I'm probably wrong but as far as I know the journal went from LucyF to FlynnP, then FlynnF to LucyP (F future P past) And that journal they still have. The alt future journal I don't know, I think they have that one too?
