Endless Summer Theory Page

Welcome to Endless Summer Theory Page, this is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked and unconfirmed theories from the Endless Summer trilogy.

Unconfirmed Theories

 * MC & Embers of Hope: This has recently become a theory that because there is no Ember for the MC, that everyone else's Ember will turn out to be something big for us.


 * Relationship between MC and Everett Rourke: A theory is you are a Rourke International experiment who escaped from him in 1996 but suffer from short term memory loss, explaining why you can seemingly remember nothing prior to the events of the series. This theory has been strengthened by the claim Rourke made in Book 3, Chapter 9


 * Sean and Michelle's Break up: Some fans believe that Becca was one of Michelle's sorority sisters who told Sean that she cheated on him, given Becca's reputation as a bully prior to The Sophomore.
 * Endless Summer/Hero crossover: Several fans believe that the stories of Endless Summer and Hero will eventually have a crossover event. The Prism Crystal was discovered on La Huerta, as well as the fact that Silas Prescott has been referenced in Endless Summer, and Everett Rourke has been referenced in Hero.
 * MC can never officially leave La Huerta: A popular theory on Tumblr is that the MC is bound to La Huerta and can never permanently leave the island. Several fans support this by pointing that the MC couldn't remember a video game console, didn't contact anyone in the Book 2 finale, and Everett Rourke barely being able to find any information on you except your birthday.
 * The Endless will become a villain: Some fans believe that The Endless will eventually become a villain and will turn out to be the true antagonist of the series with Rourke acting as their puppet. Fans believe that The Endless could have gone insane due to the psychological trauma of watching their friends die over and over, or they see themselves as a superior being due to their abilities.
 * Rourke isn't the only Hydra: A popular theory on Social Media is Rourke isn't the only Hydra, but instead is one of its "heads", and the remaining two heads are other criminals. The prime suspects for the other two heads appear to be Silas Prescott (he has been friends with Everett for years) and Blaire Hall (her company was making cargo drops on La Huerta, something her own daughter found suspicious).

Confirmed Theories

 * MC & The Endless: It, in fact, has been confirmed. The MC is The Endless.
 * The Proposals:The order of proposals from each LI mirrors the order that your character met them back in Book 1. Seen as how we met Sean first, then Jake, Quinn next, and lastly, Estela. In fact, Sean is the first to propose (Book 3, Chapter 7), Jake is the second (Book 3, Chapter 8), Quinn is the third (Book 3, Chapter 9), and lastly, Estela

Debunked Theories

 * Lila is a Robot/Artificial Intelligence: Throughout Book 2, several fans came to believe that Lila wasn't a human. Examples include her sometimes bizarre speech pattern, her trance-like persona around Everett Rourke, and showing almost inhuman displays of strength. The Act V bonus scene debunked this by showing her being mauled by a strange creature and later treating her wounds.
 * The mysterious figure is the new form of the Endless: Several fans believed that the ghost giving the group Embers of Hope was the new form of the Endless since they parted with the MC by letting themselves getting swallowed by lava (only if the MC met the Endless in Book 2 finale), which allowed them to bring the group Embers of Hope. This was debunked in Chapter 4 of Book 3 as the Endless has met the group in person and was debunked even further in Chapter 6 as the ghost's identity was revealed to be Vaanu.
 * Island's Heart thief: There are a few suspects as to who stole the Island's Heart at the end of Book 3, Chapter 8. The two prime suspects appear to be Mike Darwin and Aleister Rourke. Fans believe that Mike isn't fully cured of his brainwashing and is still loyal the Arachnids. Fans also suspect that Aleister is a double agent who destroyed the Omega Mech to try to trick the Catalysts into trusting him again. Some fans also suspect Kele, given that he barely speaks and doesn't seem to add much to the plot. A few fans believe Uqzhaal could be the thief given that he has developed negative feelings towards the Catalysts. However, in Book 3, Chapter 9... It was revealed to be Fiddler.
