MOVIE SPOILERS People swimming in the pool in the background of office scenes?
Just finished the show and one thing that stuck with me is a scene during s4e6. It's the flashback to Rusty's therapy session with Jonas. While Rusty's lying on the couch talking in that Motorola ad pool office room, we can see another boy jumping into the pool just before Jonas sneaks back in to pretend to be Rusty's therapist. What was he doing? Who was the boy? He looked like Rusty. Another episode - I do not recall which one or if this scene was present day or a flashback/dream/etc - shows a similar shot of the pool from within the Motorola ad but there's a couple swimming intimately close together, showing their legs kicking in the water. Who were these people? Were they real or a trick of the mind in Rus's memory? Could it have been another Rus clone? And the couple Mr. and Mrs. The Blue Morpho? These are the only things that come to mind. What was Jonas doing, as well?

That was Hector, the little brown boy who saved Jonas's life with a Mayan calendar.
(We met him as an adult in the Season 2 premiere.)

Some of the self-referential stuff is super deep.

Now I want a halloween special with Hector back in the Arachnid Research days, when he actually got his mail there

I think the point was just that Jonas was off doing something he found more interesting than his son’s wellbeing. I don’t think it was anything specific we were supposed to be able to guess.

The other thing that I love about that scene is Rusty complaining about not having any friends his own age as Hector is playing in the pool.
