Murray is handing out tools to Lucas, Mike, Joyce, and Will. (Robin doesn’t get a tool as maybe because she’s going to be with Murray?) Murray hands out all the tools one by one, then proceeds to the back of the truck. He explains it’s “Santa’s sleigh” prepped & ready for “his reindeer”. It’s equipped with: built-in benches, seatbelts, & (yellow) foam padding. “Everything a kidnapped child could desire” with Murray’s grin 😁 lol. Then it pans to Joyce speaking to Derek on the walkie- & when she says the line, “remember, you’re not dipshit Derek. You’re..” & right at this part- if you pause, Mike looks back at Will & Mike has a glowing yellow circle on his crown. Something something about Will’s mom being accepting & open, standing up for the underdogs..
Lucas: Breaking Bar(power bar)-They are used to break loose very tight fasteners; prevents damage to the ratcheting mechanism of a socket wrench. Core themes revolve around interruption, protection, leverage, and breaking through resistance or established conditions.
Mike: Shovel-necessary labor, perseverance, and the pragmatism of building a future through hard work; represent the act of unearthing hidden truths; tool of both creation and destruction, representing ambition, betrayal, or the inescapable nature of fate.
Mike will be uncovering his & Will’s feelings for each other.. he will realize it is fate & they both want the same things.
Joyce: 5 Safety Goggles- protection from harm, representing caution, a commitment to safety, and the prevention of injury; symbolic protection against negative influences-where the eyes are considered conduits for spiritual energy.
Will: Surveyors Wheel(waywiser)-This term reflects its historical use for measuring long distances, such as between towns; representation of precision, progress, and boundary-setting; the act of marking a path or a new beginning; similar to a "winged wheel" used in heraldry to represent speed and progress; journey or the process of marking a new path.
And Will was handed a Wheel….WHEELER…
Sooo.. closing the distance between him & Mike, making progress, new beginning…

**I’d love to hear theories/thoughts on why each character was given the tools they were!**
