Season 5

The apocalyptic world threatened to devour the survivors. They split into different groups, all in different hopes of pursuing a brighter future. Clarke led a team to seek out the mysterious Doctor Hudson, both out of a sense of duty and in hoping that a scientific mind might shed light on potential ways of ending this nightmare. Though Hudson proved to not be as sinister or dangerous as some originally worried, he also had no solution to put an end to the mist nor the monsters. Another team tread on a different path, following up leads of a more occult nature. In search for more clues on the rituals and the people originally responsible for the disaster, they went on a wild goose chase that only ended up shedding light on one of the monstrous people whose actions led to the apocalypse, Freddy Fletcher—the man who had become the Bandaged Man.

Both groups eventually headed back to the Mall, where the remaining survivors had been holding down the fort, with Tully as their de facto leader. Disaster struck in form of a final onslaught of monsters, laying siege to the Mall. One by one, the other expedition teams arrived late to the unfolding chaos. As a collective, they fought hard and suffered heavily, all only narrowly surviving, though fire and destruction had ravaged humanity’s last walls. They scrambled to repair the damage, but the battle had drained their supplies and they would scarcely survive another such onslaught.

As a last-ditch effort, the remaining survivors attempted to replicate the ritual that Philip had used to open the portal, presumably leading to another world that permitted the mist to enter into ours in the first place, in hopes of banishing the mist. Using the ominous stone-covered tome as a ritual focus, and going on little but blind faith and hope, heroic survivors sacrificed their own blood in attempting to conjure a brighter future.

A gateway of light opened in the wall of the ritual room in the Mall. The brave crossed over to explore the other side. And to their surprise, they found that they had arrived… in our world, but years prior in time, well before the disaster of the mist. The Mall was closed, under construction for renovations, when Philip had still been designing the secret ritual room in the building’s bowels. Perhaps, they now had a chance to change the future and prevent the worst. They had a chance to stop Philip and his cult and prevent the tragic ritual.

But would they transform into monsters once they died? Had they brought doom with them into the past?
