I don't believe in the flashbacks theories just because it wouldn't make sense in a narrative point of view, mixing current events with past events in the epilogue, without any context whatsoever would confuse the hell out of me.
Even if the next episode began with a prologue giving context to it being a past event, I would still be left wondering why on earth would DPC just drop a single flashback picture of a pregnancy test, in the middle of all the other current events of the epilogue.
So far all the episodes have been structured with the prologue being a flashback (both in recent and distant pasts) to give context to character arcs and epilogues have always served to give us an idea of what to expect in future episodes, messing with this design and starting mixing both these narrative devices just to create some suspense and mystery is a terrible idea.
What if it's not a flashback, what if it's related to MC, and in this game everything is related to MC. So my taughts are, that the pregnant is the one you choose at the end of season 2, in my case its Bella. But this would be too hard to accomplish, basically 4 different episodes in one. Anyway I think we'll know for sure around summer, when 9th ep will come out.
I agree it'd be weird to be a flashback given the epilogues to each episode have been about events happening now, and the mc reading about something having happened in the past doesn't quite follow that pattern, but there are no hard rules here (other than no incest!)...I also think it is unlikely to be a flashback, but we can not rule it out completely, then it does not have to be a true flashback, it could also be the visualization of a story (of Bella who tells what happened with her husband for example)
I'm much more inclined to believe it's happened with some of the side characters:
- Jamie and Dany already had a pregnancy scare, but it was rather low key. We heard about it in episode 4 and it was resolved by episode 6. Regardless of what the mc says to Jamie, I think he hooks back up with Dany again. So she could be pregnant, but she's already cried wolf before, so who gives a fuck.
- Magnar and Sally are on the rocks for some reason, and an unexpected pregnancy could be the reason, but so what, we have fuck all to do with them, and what, Sally will be even more snarky during the next game of DnG (damn, we need another game!)
- Dawe and Arieth (or is that Anyone and Arieth)? I'm sure the kid would be dead due to lack of oxygen in no time since there seems to be no oxygen going to Arieth's brain either.
- Rusty and Cathy? Yeah they're banging, but so what? Cathy would just abort and get on with life, she's not some drama queen college girl.
- Stephen and Jade? Are they even fucking? Jade would just grab the nearest coat hanger for sure (she'd probably actually see a doctor, I'm just being vulgar).
- I don't think Derek's had sex with Ashley under all possible game branches, so that rules them out.
- Anthony and Ashley? When Derek's trying to get back with her, she tells him it's complicated. Now if she's pregnant to Big A, Derek's just gonna back off, so I can't see that being of much interest.
- John Boy and Elena? They'd probably be thrilled as they are virtually married and there's so much love in that relationship they are ready to spread it to their offspring. Here's hoping for twins!
- Tommy and Heather? I think this would be a big deal in the DIK house. But we've already had to put up with an episode of Tommy mooping around feeling sorry for himself, can we put up with more of that?
- Tybalt and his lover? Will we hear the sound of little green and red feet running around the Prep's mansion? Yeah, I'm running out of ideas now...
