* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler: It looks like [[TheHeroDies Clancy dies]] as a result of his simulator exploding, but since this doesn't match up with the prophecy [[TheGrimReaper Death]] gave him in a previous episode that he'll die on his wheelchair we can't be sure.]]



* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler: Just as the police are about to kill Clancy for illegal Simulation practices, he is saved by his dog and is sucked into the Simulator, which then explodes, killing the cops and destroying the surrounding area. Clancy then appears in another Escher-esque void boarding an infinitely long train with all of the dead characters he met in the simulation as fellow passengers. Clancy asks one of the passengers if he has died and the passenger basically just tells him cryptically to just enjoy the ride. Since Clancy dying would contradict the prophecy of Death, who he interviewed, it's unclear if he really is dead or not.]]
