Is The Boroughs Finale Just a Glitch in Sam’s Mind?

TL;DR
A fan theory argues the Boroughs Season 1 finale’s emotional reunion is not real events but a construct inside Sam’s mind, likely sparked by Mother to keep him alive. The piece explores possibilities like Sam being in a coma, Mother siphoning memories or consciousness into Sam, and a mysterious tree with rejuvenating powers tying into the wider mythos. Blaine’s role and the cave sequence are tied to this mind-game, leaving the ending open to interpretation and potential future seasons.
