After weeks of questions and episodes that only deepen the mystery, "Episode 6" of Hulu's Devs put the endgame clear in sight, and it somehow involves Lily Chan (Sonoya Mizuno). Devs' previous episodes have followed Lily's investigation of her employer, Amaya, a mysterious tech company that murdered her boyfriend Sergei (Karl Glusman). As she travels deeper down the rabbit hole of her investigation, she quickly discovers that the Devs team has uncovered a scientific breakthrough that threatens the entire foundation of reality.

As Sergei and audiences discovered in the first episode, the Devs team recruited him to help work on a special line of code that they'd been keeping under wraps at Amaya. Over the course of the show's first five episodes, the Devs project is slowly unveiled as a quantum computer running on a principle of determinism, giving it the power to project any historical event in the past as well as predict any event in the future. With each episode the Devs project gets more and more precise, raising major questions about the ethics of such a program.

Things only get more hazy with the major revelation dropped in "Episode 6." After Lily goes to the home of Amaya's founder and CEO, Forest (Nick Offerman), she's greeted by Katie (Alison Pill), who audiences discover is romantically involved with Forest. At her boss/lover's behest, Katie begins to explain the entire situation to Lily, from Sergei's induction into Devs, his murder, and the intricacies of the project. As Lily starts to understand what Amaya has been working on, Katie delivers a bombshell: the quantum computer has only ever been able to project into the future up until a certain point, when the projection becomes absolute static. According to Katie, an "unknown event [...] triggers a total breakdown in cause and effect, a breakdown of determinism, a breakdown of the literal laws of the universe." And if that isn't worrying in itself, Lily is somehow intrinsically involved in the event.

While the potential collapse of the laws of physics is an entirely new curveball, Lily's involvement is something the show has been hinting at for a very long time. In "Episode 4," Katie shows Forest a projection of Lily seemingly dying in two days, the time of Katie's "unknown event," and "Episode 6's" revelations connect Lily's predicted death to the breakdown of reality, leaving fans to wonder how Lily's behavior will have such dire consequences.

Devs puts up a strong argument for determinism, the idea that free will is an illusion and that basic cause and effect is the driving force of the universe. This is the principle that the Devs software runs on, and up until this point it has been highly accurate. However, there's a strong possibility that the last two episodes of the show may end up pivoting in the opposite direction, implying that free will is, in fact, an animating motive in the structure of the universe. Lily doing something to avoid her death would break the machine's deterministic output.

"Episode 6" already teases this sort of conflict. Katie tells Lily that she will be present in the Devs laboratory moments before the "event." However, Lily challenges the idea of predestination, declaring her intent to simply stay home and let events play out. If she refuses to go to Devs, how could she end up there? The show has already set in motion events that may lead Lily to the Devs facility, the most likely of which is Kenton (Zach Grenier). In the most recent episode, an enraged Kenton watches as Forest and Jamie (Jin Ha) toss a frisbee back and forth, mistaking the incident for genuine friendship. This could lead to Kenton either kidnapping Jamie or Lily and bringing them to the Devs lab, forcing Lily closer to the show's endgame.

The show has already tiptoed around the many-worlds theory, and while it may be a stretch, there's also the possibility that the Lily who ends up at the Devs facility may be from an alternate universe. As Devs heats up for an explosive finale, audiences are left wondering just what's in store for Lily Chan.
