The finale ends in 2020, setting up a future season that moves toward an alternate version of the present. Kelly Baldwin, stranded on Titan, records a final message to her son Alex and places an Apollo 11 plaque on Titan given to her by Ed Baldwin. Bioluminescent organisms appear in a nearby pool, turning her final moments into a discovery. The life found on Titan is framed as an elegant, joyful end to her arc, emphasizing that what seemed like a small sample becomes a lake full of organisms. The discovery does not imply Kelly will return to life after her death.
"While Kelly Baldwin (Cynthy Wu) is stranded on Titan, she records a final message to her son Alex ( Sean Kaufman), and eventually places the Apollo 11 plaque on Titan, which was given to her by her father, Ed Baldwin ( Joel Kinnaman). But, before the curtain falls on Kelly's story, bioluminescent organisms appear in a pool near her, making her final moments wrapped in wonder and discovery."
""It was a very sad moment, but I think we felt it was really interesting and elegant to give her this moment of joy at the end, in this discovery in spite of it being her last moment," Nedivi tells Inverse. "It was a cool way to end her arc - the idea that what they thought was just a little sample of life ends up being a lake full of it.""
""That said, if fans are wondering if this lake of pretty alien life was somehow going to bring Kelly back to life after getting stranded on Titan, the short answer is no.""
