MAG 193 has lived in my brain rent free since it aired, especially this exchange:
JONAH/ELIAS: Were you drawn here?
ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT): Yes. I was.
JONAH/ELIAS: Against your will?
ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT): No.
JONAH/ELIAS: Then why did you heed the call?
ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT): Because… this is the place I know I should be.
JONAH/ELIAS: Good.The dialogue is taken from original Elias’ conversation with James Wright Jonah but when you’re listening to the exchange it sounds like a conversation between Jonah and Jon. This is clearly intentional.
Jon was drawn to the institute and to Jonah. The very first teaser of the podcast is a recording addressed to Jonah. He admires Elias’ knowledge of the supernatural. Jonah can call his Archivist, and when he does, Jon comes to him every time.
Ultimately everything Jon does leads him to Jonah. Where he knows he should be indeed.
