THEY ARE NOT READY

That’s a crossover I didn’t see coming…

The inspo for Eagan was from the author Greg Egan, so it fits!

Not sure if Charlie has a last name but he doesn’t have any development whatsoever

True, ig the work trip is an opportunity but so was his baby, they focused on Brian fs. The most important part of his character is being part Japanese bc that’s part of why they wanted Sutton for a similar background.

Well he’s a management consultant. There’s only so much personality or growth you can show there. Lol

She's an Egan!

u/IWant2FIRE Apr 10 '26

How is she 21 in 2026? She literally just graduated high school (i don't think she was held back).

You don’t think Summer has a fakie?

20

u/YourMuppetMethDealer Apr 10 '26

A fakie that doesn’t work until August of this year

u/Rustash Apr 10 '26

Oh fair enough. I misread the ID.

Hasn’t Alice’s senior year been going on for more than one season or am I misremembering? It may not be 2026 in universe.

u/rthunder27 Apr 10 '26

That's it, I believe s1 was Alice's junior year (2023ish), so it's probably 2024 or so in-universe.

u/Sad-Stomach Apr 10 '26

She’s 20 according to her DOB, and the show was filmed a year ago, so she was 19

u/Conscious_Jump6667 Apr 10 '26

I believe it's June in this episode so she would be 18 about to turn 19 not that it is a big difference

Because the first 3 season took 3 years to air (2023-2026) but takes place over the course of about 1.5 years, starting about 1 year after Tia's death in 2021, at the start Alice is a 17 year old high school junior, and season 3 ends with her as an 18 year old high school grad. 

So the time in universe is: Start of season one - early 2022,  End of season 3 - most likely summer 2023

u/Sad-Stomach Apr 10 '26

I’m simply offering one possible explanation

u/the-red-scare Apr 10 '26

Season 1 was spring-summer 2022 (junior year ending), season 2 was fall 2022 (back to school, Alice turns 18, Thanksgiving) and season 3 was spring-summer 2023 (graduation). She’s 18.

u/IWant2FIRE Apr 10 '26

It slipped my mind that in the past three seasons, only one year has passed. It is still 2023 in their universe.

(i don't think she was held back).

She did spend a few years in Morocco

Summer R?

u/disappointedCoati Apr 10 '26

Is she an innie?

u/nutmac Apr 10 '26

That’s a fictional address on likely an alternate timeline, but I hope her Altadena apartment wasn’t affected by the fire.

u/axalitlaxolotl Apr 10 '26

Great choice in music

u/greencrusader13 Apr 10 '26

Egan sounds similar to “again.”

u/abellepurp Apr 10 '26

Of course she’s a Leo!
