[[WMG: David's breakdown in the season 2 finale is all part of Farouk's plan]]
Farouk knew that David would kill him in the desert, so he used Melanie to turn Syd against him, and it was Syd's interference that saved his life. However, he ''also'' likely recognized that without a bigger threat for them to deal with, his days were numbered once he fell into the hands of Division 3. So all of his actions in the second half of season 2 — murdering Amy, using Melanie, separating David from Syd to turn her against him, and tricking him into torturing Oliver[[note]]David thought it was Farouk-in-Oliver's body. He didn't know that he was controlling Melanie at the time[[/note]] — were all part of his plot to drive David further into madness. This then allowed him to ingratiate himself with the Divisions by revealing what David did to Syd, making him indispensable in countering the threat that an out of control David represents. This also allows him to reestablish a power base inside Division 3, which will enable him to further his own goals.

David ''is'' mentally ill on top of his mutation, but it was only because of Farouk's manipulations that he's begun to [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope teeter at the edge of the slippery slope]], all as part of Farouk's plan to reclaim his body and his full power.

* Lenny's existence, and that they met the first time in Clockworks, is confirmed in Season 2. However it was Farouk himself who implanted the memory of Lenny in those other events.


Added DiffLines:

* Mostly {{Jossed}}. Season 2 confirms Lenny ''was'' real, and David first met her at Clockworks. She was indeed killed when Syd swapped bodies with David. The Shadow King then absorbed her consciousness, holding her prisoner and using her to interact with David.

[[spoiler: Furthermore, regarding when David was born, there's a limit to when this can happen, given Charles' paraplegic state established in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', which takes place in 1962. So, naturally, David would have had to have been born before then. Although Charles gets the use of his legs again in the early 1970s, as shown in ''Film/XMenDaysofFuturePast'', he's pretty much an emotional wreck by that time, living a mostly secluded life in his mansion. From that, it doesn't seem plausible that he has an active social life at the time, let alone having a romantic relationship with a woman that results in a child]].

Minor Adjustments


Granted, Noah Hawley is (for now) deliberately trying to keep the show's time-placement vague in order to focus more on character development and plot, but since it was pretty-much revealed (or at least heavily hinted at) in Episode 7 that [[spoiler: Charles Xavier]] is in fact David's biological father, one has to wonder how that will affect the show's placement in the timeline. Also, given David's ability as a reality-warper, a lot of anachronistic items and statements will be present that confuse the issue even further.

Still, there's a plausible theory regarding the show's likely chronological placement, given what was said over the course of Season 1.

A good deal of it actually starts with and hinges on Oliver Bird. He's been in cyrostasis for nearly 21 years, and the last thing he seems to remember was the 1967 Summer of Love ("Is 'free love' still a thing? Girls in summer dresses with no bra?"). Since Melanie said it would be "21 years in February" since he was put in stasis, and the last thing he seems to remember is the Summer of Love, which took place in 1967, it would seem logical to put his placement in cyrostasis as February 1968; by extension, one can argue that the First Season of the show takes place in the late 1980s (around late 1988).

Once that's been established, you can actually assume a good deal of things chronolgoically.
