Yet winning might be the very thing to tear them apart. ![]() Lines are drawn all around them, with Marigold and Tristan on opposite sides, and neither can afford to lose. The strained tension between them quickly turns to simmering attraction, but an important archery competition looms ahead. However, after a visit to the seashore ends in disaster-and scandal-Marigold and Tristan soon realize how little they know about each other. He has no time to entertain Marigold’s ambitions. But Tristan has enough worries of his own, what with his bachelor uncle falling in love with a fortune hunter.

Tristan Gates is used to Marigold Cartwell always getting her way, so he is far from surprised when she forms her own society. Spurred on by their rejection, Marigold decides to start a new society.

Though instead of acting like a removal of the support group that Rose depends on (something that Mike Flanagan confirmed to our own Eric Eisenberg in an interview during the film’s press day), it’s more of a final showdown. We see a sequence similar to how the book version of Doctor Sleep ends, when Danny and his friend Billy (Cliff Curtis) take on the members of Rose’s True Knot cult at the campground. ![]() So instead of going to The Overlook Hotel to fight Rose The Hat, Danny Torrance and Abra Stone fought her at the campground that rests on the infamous lodge’s final resting place. For starters, the end of The Shining’s novel saw The Overlook Hotel burning down in very much the same way it did in Mike Flanagan’s version of the follow-up. As amazing as the ending to Doctor Sleep’s movie sounds, the ending for Stephen King’s book was way different. ![]() ![]() Imagine my surprise when Josh told me we were invited to an event at JAARS (“ a multidisciplinary team of problem-solvers committed to the belief-and the vision-that people’s lives and communities are transformed as they experience God’s Word in their own language“) in Waxhaw, NC to hear Jo Shetler speak!
