This is one entry that slipped by many on their first-time viewing of The Haunting of Hill House. In the final episode, during the scene in which we see Luke celebrating two years of sobriety, we also see a little Easter egg pertaining to another member of the Crain family. Theo and her love interest Trish appear to be wearing wedding rings.

Beyond being a real ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ moment, this detail re-contextualizes much of Theo’s arc for the series. Much of what Theo contends with in Hill House pertains to her struggles with intimacy. She cuts herself off from others, and we see that play out in her relationship with Trish. Having met at a nightclub, Theo and Trish have a one-night-stand, Theo ensuring the relationship stops there. Later on, as Theo learns to open up, she calls Trish and begins fostering more of a relationship with her.

The knowledge that Theo went on to marry a character who had been so closely linked with her growth across the series provides a lot of closure for her arc - a special treat for those who were paying attention.
