Episode 17 is only 41 minutes long, so I translated the potential deleted scenes from the draft of the script (nothing is confirmed deleted! some may not have been filmed at all)

Daniel Molloy, Runaway on Night Island, 1980s

Armand treats Daniel running away like a cat running away, chasing him around.

Armand then puts up flyers in the neighborhood, with things like:

Have you seen Daniel? He loves scratches, has pretty eyes, and running away. He's wearing my necklace. If found call 555 1233

Armand buys up local dairy to put on milk carton pictures which are wildly out of date or thirsty.

The entire elementary school population knows about Daniel which would be great if he was awake during the day.

Kid (can't be more than 5 or 6) Hey mister get off my see saw. (pause)

Daniel stares at the kid.

Kid: You're the man on the milk carton! Mom! Mom!

[a woman anywhere from 30-45 comes over and stares at Daniel Molloy, nonplussed]

Kid: Mom, can you call the number? And then we can get ice cream afterwards?

Armand personally befriends the fire department and calls them to pull Daniel out of the trees. And to make special Night Island calendars. And for security. And uh..

Daniel is in a tree, staring down balefully at Armand and the local fire department. A fireman is already rolling out a ladder.

Armand Please get Daniel out of the tree! Thank you Mr fireman! (mouths call me and makes the call me gesture with his right hand)

Daniel You. Can. Fly.

Armand Daniel is very distressed.

Daniel I am fine. I can get down just fine.

This is young Daniel or book Daniel but this is 1000 times funnier to me if this is Eric Bogosian, and even funnier if he's 70 and Armand is trying to hook up with the Golden Girls.

Rose: Daniel! Please come down from that tree for that very nice young man.(edited)

Blanche: I'd climb him like a tree.

Missing poster update! Promo mistakes? Details 6!-

So I absolutely went nuts when seeing this promo package someone had received on Instagram considering it allowed us to see the missing posters we don’t see clearly (Vance, Billy , Griffen) however there’s some… discrepancies with the movie itself and what we know. But also stuff I really like so let’s jump in

New dates!

So these missing posters go so far to have had some of the boys missing since 76! Which at first was a bit of a shock to me but makes a little sense. It also notes that My headcannon of Griffin being the youngest/ 12 years old as correct! BUT it says he went missing in April of 76’ but Gwen said - at least I could’ve sworn she said “last winter” but I know for sure Vance was “last spring”

These posters might be from before they were finalized for the movie because both Robin and Bruce have the wrong dates! Neither of them went missing In 76, they both went missing in 78! It also has the mistake of the newspaper trying to say Bruce was taken before Vance when it’s straight up wrong? Vance was “last spring” and Bruce went missing July of 78.

This is Robin and Bruce’s posters IN MOVIE:

All Info lines up except the dates they went missing. I’m assuming that earlier drafts of the movie would’ve been in 77? This is my best guess considering these are the ones in the movie. Maybe Vance was the last in a earlier draft of the movie?

These two I believe completely, as we get a shot of Billy’s in the opening and it lines up and Vance also lines up apart from it being in September and not spring. (Lines up with Max’s notes. Taken on a Monday etc)

Only thing I don’t agree with is Vance being 13. I’m more inclined to believe he is 14 as he was cannonically held back twice. UNLESS he’s actually a grade below the other boys because of this? So he’s in 7th grade instead of 8th? Idk I think he’s 14. It also says he has brown eyes so I’ll take everything with a grain of salt lmao

New timeline-

Personally I like the idea of it being ? Slightly more spread out. besides some of the dates being straight up wrong in this promomaterial it DOES make a lot more sense for there to be greater stretches of time.

Griffin- Late summer 1976 (don’t like poster date/feels wrong)

Billy- Fall- winter 1976 (poster date also feels wrong)

Vance- Spring 1977 (stated by Gwen)

Bruce- July 18th, 1978 (seen in movie)

Robin- November 9th , 1978 (seen in movie)

Adresses?

So I didn’t know that missing posters (at least used to. I’ve only seen one in reality and it was a kid who’s been missing since like 1987? So a really really old case) contained the kids address? At least these ones and what I’m assuming to be. The adresses that are across the top before the rest of the information. As it later states “last seen” and vauge locations, so fake the  Address info as you will writers.

The constant date mix up’s are giving me “Finney Shaw”* vibes. Where it’s wrong and no one knows how it got that way.

*Literally every info talking about the movie says Finney’s last name is Shaw but it never was. It is Blake. In the short story his last name is Finney so Shaw literally came out of nowhere.

Creepy ‘Shrine’ to Missing Persons in New York Woods

On October 3, 2016, a man hiking in the woods in Suffolk County, Long Island (same county as the Long Island Serial Killer case) found a creepy camp set up in the woods. Not only did he find a tent, empty cans, and a shovel, he found an entire “shrine” of missing posters taped up on trees. This is pretty creepy, real or not, but the worst part is that the posters clearly had water damage and had been up longer than a few days. The man tried to report the issue to the police, who subsequently spoke to the property owners adjacent to the area with the missing posters. Because the incident happened in October, the property owners explained it away as just being Halloween decorations they had set up for a party. Authorities took them at their word.

Unfortunately, these are real missing posters for real people who went missing all over the United States. Even though sites like Snopes claim the case to be fake due to the response from police, it still seems suspicious and the Halloween theory doesn’t hold much water. If it’s not Halloween decorations, what is it? The camp looks lived in, elaborate, and not at all like something someone put up one day just as “decoration.”

He posted a second video the same day as the first, mostly trying to document the location, just in case something happened to him. Then, on October 31 of 2016, he posted a third video of the area. This time, he found “no trespassing” signs unprofessionally posted and he wasn’t able to get close enough to the area to see if the missing posters were still up. The tent did seem to still be standing, though it didn’t show many signs of a party going on at that time or sometime in the recent past.

If nothing else, this situation is strange and creepy. It’s hard to say what’s really going on; every person will have to decide for themselves unless more answers are uncovered. For now, we have the videos. And be warned if you do choose to view them, they are pretty shaky (think the Blair Witch Project).

OC A finds a box of cats out on the street, one of them belonging to OC B. OC A takes the one that was OC B’s, but then finds missing posters for the same cat. OC A has no choice to return it to OC B.

Positive Bonus: OC B was looking for a roommate and since they both like the cat, OC A is allowed to move in.

Negative Bonus: After returning the cat, OC A is sad to see that there are no cats left.
