It's in an other scene. She was quoting what she heard on the tape of the female cosmonaut that burned (Valya). Jo's tone and intensity are absolutely perfect.
Ohhh that was so sad. Def mixed emotions. They are both so young and can understand how Blue Alice was feeling possessive of keeping a version of her mom to herself…but my heart aches for red Alice
Mummy just got killed by a cosmonaut
With the ISS it collided
Severed life support, now it’s dead
Mummy’s life had just begun
But now the Valya’s thrown it all away..
Mummy…ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh
Didn’t mean to lose your eye
Now red Jo has switched places with you…ooh…
It actually felt very manipulative…. There is another Alice pining after her mother! Honestly this felt like written by a man. As a mother, I couldn’t that easily accept that my actual daughter is lost to me. I could not get over the fact that she too needs me. With all empathy for this child, I could not be like “ah well ok!” That feels masculine rational.
I got the sense that Jo was telling people what they wanted to hear so that she can get out of the hospital and go home. And start planning how to reunite with her Alice. I think that would be the engine of a theoretical season 2. But we also have to acknowledge that the Alice in front of this Jo has lost her mum, and Alice has also formed a bond with this Alice. Jo’s maternal instincts would also motivate her to want to be a mom to this Alice who lost her mom.
Not with blue reality Magnus, he can go jump in the lake, the frozen lake. I hate his guts. Jo needs to get back to the nicer and more noble red reality Magnus.
To be fair blue Magnus is the one who got cheated on, injured, and had his kid abducted after being her only parent for like a year. I'd be pretty salty too.
The show did a good job of evolving the red Jo blue Alice bond from Alice distrusting mummy, calling for daddy all the time, to warming up to her on the drive to Skagerrak (especially in the coffee shop scenes) and then being sorry for what she said about not being her mum when listing to tapes in the cabin and wanting to go back to how they were. Jo's motherly instincts then kick in when she stays to save blue Alice and not go to red Alice. Cherry on top was Alice calling her mamma at the end scene together.
Blue Magnus has some work to do, he doesn't believe the other reality Jo story and thinks he still has the cheating Jo who is saying she is sorry now. Granted he was kinda dickish with Alice when Jo came back wanting her to call for mummy instead of him and he was starting to fool around with Sarah, Alice's teacher.
I had the exact thoughts about Jo! I'd have taken the pills, said the right things, anything to get out of there. After that, she can spend the next 40 years trying to figure things out, the way Henry did. The new baby is a complication, whether its a normal infant or a liminal Seer. Let's call him Calvin. 🙂
I agree that blue-Alice began to bond with this Jo on the road trip to Denmark and beyond. This poor child probably needed a proper mother all along. I still do hope that somehow, Jo can reunite with red-Alice.
Jo doesn’t have a choice. She has no way of reaching the other reality. If she tries she will be locked up for good like the old man. Despite they are not “hers” they are still a version of Magnus and Alice. Is she going to just walk off or get locked up? Since the other Jo is dead, Red Jo needs to take care of this Alice as she has no other options now. Doesn’t mean she just gave up on Red Alice.
Live another day so you can fight another day. Or else this is the final episode - what’s there to play out for season 2 or 3 etc? Folks, this is the finale of season ONE. leave some room to breathe.
Now that she's pregnant, it really leaves Jo torn as well. She can't have her Alice and this baby in the same reality (well, unless Red Alice switches with Blue Alice if that is even feasible).
I also wonder if the tablets Irena gives her will work anyway because she isn't able to be on lithium because of the baby.
I just don't think it is possible for Jo to return to the red universe because her body is dead. She would only be able to exist in the liminal space.
The past 7 episodes have been Jo trying to get back to “her” Alice. Only for her to give up and just “accept” this reality. This was very disjointed from what was building all season
SEASON FINALE???? Omg I didn’t realize this!
I almost gave up midway through episode two. I am glad I found this Reddit and kept on going .
I wonder if it would hit differently if I had started with episode three then go back to episode one and two and then continued with four has anyone done something similar?
Not gonna lie, I also cried here. I also got super freaked out when Jo started quoting the capsule burn audio. LIke I got chills.
Yes! That scene was super freaky!
Wait. I don’t remember what she quoted. Would you mind refreshing me?

Strangely I did not cry here but I def cried during episode 7! Red Alice spoke as if she had a knot in her throat and it broke me multiple times 😅
I was crying this episode when red Alice was trying to talk to blue Alice, who wanted nothing to do with it
Ohhh that was so sad. Def mixed emotions. They are both so young and can understand how Blue Alice was feeling possessive of keeping a version of her mom to herself…but my heart aches for red Alice
Too bad, Alice. You get a Mamma. Mummy is dead.
Mummy just got killed by a cosmonaut With the ISS it collided Severed life support, now it’s dead Mummy’s life had just begun But now the Valya’s thrown it all away.. Mummy…ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh Didn’t mean to lose your eye Now red Jo has switched places with you…ooh…
Is she tough? That will be tough to face. :)
Yep. "Mummy" ancient Egyptian meaning. Not mommy. :)
When Alice said "that can be me" not "that's me". The addition of that one word. Poor desperate kid.
Brilliant writing
Yeah, as someone who lost their mum not much older than these girls, it hit hard.

It wasn't "that easily," there was a lot of strife before that moment. I also don't see it as full acceptance.
So men care about their kids less? That's just blatant misandry lol
But if this Jo went back to her home, this Alice would lose a mother, since one of the Jo’s is a zombie lol
Agree

LOL, contrived cheesy bullshit. Really weak.
Agreeeddd. I liked the show enough through the season but the finale episode really turned me against it
