Notes[]
- It is unknown if it was Lena who died in the lighthouse or the Shimmer version of her, but it is heavily implied that the Shimmer version of her died and it was the real Lena that came back, so that is how it will be listed.
- At the end, Lena's eyes shimmer, but this is likely just a side affect of her being in the Shimmer, and not her actually being one of the beings from the Shimmer.
- The Shimmer version of Lena will not be listed in bold because it is implied that it meant no harm to Lena, and possibly didn't even know she was there in the first place.
