Paper Girls Ending Explained
In Paper Girls Season 1, Episode 8, titled “It B Over,” our four time travelers meet Grand Father, the head of the Old Watch. Grand Father takes a minute to present his view of the timeline with the help of Mac’s mixtape. He claims that each attempt to change the timeline is similar to recording over a tape, with the quality getting worse each time. Eventually, he claims, the timeline will break, which will mean the end of the universe. For this reason, the Old Guard watches over the timeline, and the ablutions they perform are meant to have as little effect as possible.
It’s obvious that the four are destined for the ablutions, because they often meet their future selves. To make matters worse, in Paper Girls Season 1 Episode 8, the kids learn that a radio broadcast they heard in 1988 was actually transmitted to them by their future selves. Tiffany also leaves a message for her future self that will inspire her to discover time travel. The Grand Father climbs into the cathedral with the Paper Girls to take them back to 1988.
However, The Prioress is shocked to learn that one of the Paper Girls is Tiffany Quilkin, the head of the Quilkin Institute, whose research makes time travel possible. She realizes that she has only one chance to change the course of events: If she can have an impact on Tiffany Quilkin’s life, she could prevent the discovery of time travel. Although she knows that if she succeeds, neither the Watch nor the STF Underground will ever have existed, the Prioress cannot resist the urge to make another desperate attempt to alter the timeline.
In order to resolve the time conflict, she tries to send the main Paper Girls character on a timeline mission. However, her plan fails completely due to the interference of other members of the Old Watch. She accidentally put Mac and KJ in the capsule that Tiffany was supposed to be in, and so they’re probably stranded in the future.
Tiffany and Erin are able to travel through time in another time capsule, but the settings have been changed so they seem to be trapped in the past. They are shocked to see an outdated drive-in movie at the end of the episode, watched by people in cars. While they are watching footage from The Longest Yard (1974), David Bowie’s song “Golden Years” plays, suggesting that they are now in the 1970s, as the song is associated with 1975.
