Why Timothy Probably Is The Antichrist But Not Evil
Just Because He’s The Antichrist, Doesn’t Mean He Has To Act On It
What seems to be the most likely scenario is that inEvil ’s final episode , Timothy will have the potential difference to become evil . He could even have the DNA necessary to make an antichrist . Lexis may even be central to this discovery , as her actions , whether well - meaning or not , could set off a chain of event that unleashes something in Timothy .
While the show delves into supernatural themes as opine through the Catholic Church ’s vivid iconography , it tends to shoot down somewhere in the middle of the nature / nurture argumentation .
