Interestingly enough, creator Andy Siara’s initial iteration of The Resort took its theme of “the disappointment of time” a bit too far, as he revealed to Deadline that Emma originally didn’t find anything but a dead end inside the cave. So while Pasaje is in part a gift, it’s in the same curio cabinet as the monkey’s paw and other doom-laden creations. For the young couple, it meant putting their loving parents through years and years of emotional turmoil without closure, and then giving them an even bigger mental bodyslam by returning in the same teenage form they disappeared in. In the end, Violet claims to have indeed reconnected with her mom while within the whirlpool, while viewers witnessed Emma’s highly emotional response to assumedly seeing her late daughter.īut Emma figured out the lesson that Violet and Sam (and presumably others) did not: losing oneself in the nostalgia of Pasaje necessarily means one misses out on everything happening in the present. Though Illan Iberra expressed foreboding warnings about how the location ruined his life, Violet and Emma both became entranced by the out-there possibility of seeing their dead loved ones, with Violet still mourning her Pasaje-minded mother, as Emma still hadn’t come to terms with the death of a newborn from years past. Pasaje is essentially a physical manifestation of nostalgia and its dangers, a place set outside of time that allows those who wander into its waters the chance to go back and mentally relive moments, but with the underlying threat that one can get completely lost in those memories without someone around who’s locked in the present.
