What other explanation is there? It didn't happen until I met them. Until I met them all.

[You can even track it on the footage. The very first screen tear, mere hours after Alex filmed Tim's wavering audition for an as-of-then unnamed character. It can't just have been some coincidence. There was a reason Brian carried that tape around.]

[A reminder of who he was, maybe. Or a reminder of why he wouldn't rest until Tim paid for his sins.]

That's the point. There's not supposed to be a fallout. There's not supposed to be anything.
