The last shot of a person from season 1 is Silja telling Jonas "welcome to the future" and hitting him with her gun.
The last shot of a person from season 2 focuses on Jonas as he travels with Alt-Martha, and then shows the Kahnwald house being hit by the apocalypse.
The final shot of season 3 shows Hannah in the same house and she says that she likes the name Jonas for her baby.
It was all about mother and her kids.

Dark thoughts about Bill
Something I realized recently while I was thinking about Bill and Ford's relationship, and I don't know if Hirsch consciously did this or not, is that in many respects, the evil nacho is basically a child groomer.
Yes, Ford was technically an adult when they met, even if he does have the emotional maturity of a teenage girl, but considering how old Bill is, he might as well be a child. And a lot of the signs are the same used to identify child grooming, according to the Internet:
He isolates him from other people, encouraging him to see him as his only true friend and companion and think he doesn't need anyone else.
He shows an interest in him that's "too good to be true," telling him that he's special and brilliant and going to change the world and stuff.
He demonstrates a great deal of interest in Ford's development-intellectual, not sexual, but still.
He shows a lack of respect for Ford's personal and private boundaries-yes, technically Ford allowed him to take over his body while he's asleep, but he probably didn't tell him it was going to end up making his eye bleed while he was doing it, and then after he discovers Bill's true colors, he continues controlling him and abusing him whenever he gets the chance.
He allows and encourages Ford to do things others wouldn't approve of, namely working himself to death building an illegal potential doomsday device in his basement.
While he didn't necessarily tell Ford to keep him a secret, the fact that he still felt the need to really adds to the ickiness of the situation.
People who are victims of child grooming are often left with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and have difficulties with forming healthy relationships afterwards. Sound familiar?
There's probably a lot more to unpack, but the general conclusion is this: while people are obviously free to write and enjoy whatever they want, this is why I will never read or support fics that ship Ford and Bill together. Or Bill and Dipper. Or Bill and anyone else, unless it's with someone like the Other Mother from Coraline.
