When the dog arrives back in the original version of West Ham, he runs into Allie and Cassandra's mother. She's walking into a library wearing a yellow remembrance ribbon on her jacket, and she proceeds to read a book to a group of young children also wearing ribbons. Behind her is a large plaque with the words "We Remember Them" engraved on the top, and the names of all the students who disappeared below. Could this mean that, back in the real world, their parents found evidence of their deaths? Or did they just disappear? It's unclear. But whatever the truth, obviously their parents and the rest of the town are treating the situation like they're gone for good.
