Unusual signs in the 2027 flashforward.

The episode revealed several crucial details, leaving many unanswered questions. Among them was an ultrasound image of a child — could Max be a father again? And who would be carrying this child in such a complicated love story?

Furthermore, the appearance of the gun in a tense scene hints at an impending murder. These situations not only evoke anxiety in Max, but also suggest that Walford is on the brink of an unpredictable catastrophe.
