He dreams of Samuels.
"Why now?" he asks in the dream, which he would hesitate to do in reality, for fear of the answer. "Why does He want me now, when he never did before?"
"Now," says Samuels, in his slow, deliberate way, "you are ready to listen."
He wakes up and thinks, oh yes. Because his whole life has been destroyed, so he has nothing better to do. "Thanks," he says to the stars above. God remains unapologetic. If the show had had a second season, we could only HOPE it would be as good as this story of Jack finding his way to David in the wilderness, and the two of them learning to trust each other. This really nails Jack's character and also David's humanity. *happy sigh*

A lovely post-series slice of life story. Um, I guess to say more would be spoiling the series. But if you've read the trilogy, you should read this story!

"You summoned the kraken?" Irving said.
"Not exactly, sir." Abbie went right on looking him dead in the eye. [...] "Technically, it's a leviathan."
"And technically, the leviathan cannot be summoned," Crane added. "It's a biblical beast said to arise when the time is nigh-"
"We put it back," Abbie interrupted. "Let's focus on that, okay?" Abbie, Jenny, and Ichabod fight the leviathan. This hilarious and awesome in exactly the same way as the show.

Really lovely coda to the movie, where Aaron and Marta learn to stop running and start living.

Yes! This explains a lot about Nicky Parsons and why she's willing to go on the run with Jason. Totally my head canon now.
