Mythic Quest‘s fourth season has come to a close, but did the finale, “Heaven and Hell,” set up things for a potential fifth season? While Apple TV+ has yet to renew the workplace comedy about a ragtag team of video game creators, Mythic Quest‘s latest episode certainly left viewers holding their breath for what might come next.

As the company presented Ian (Rob McElhenney) and Poppy’s (Charlotte Nicdao) long-teased Elysium expansion without either of them present for the meeting, the creative partners prepared to part ways. Ian encouraged Poppy to live abroad with the father of her baby-to-be, and he’d set off on his own adventure, but his self-sacrifice could only go on so long.

When Poppy was alerted that Ian had tried logging into the company’s system, she faked going into labor so her plane would turn around, and she forced him to confess the reason he’d returned to work. According to Ian, he can’t imagine not having a part of Poppy in his life, and working on their project while allowing her to seek out a potentially better life elsewhere was his motive.

But it turned out the feeling was mutual for Poppy, who resurfaced some words that Ian had shared with her earlier in the episode, that if there’s a glimmer of hope to make something work with someone you love, you should go for it. Her decision to stay was a way of living by those words.

Ultimately, Poppy was moved by Ian’s growth and ability to be selfless to the point that when he pulled her in, she met him for a kiss that had long evaded this duo. While this moment was definitely shocking, it was not altogether surprising as the show’s constantly danced around the will-they-won’t-they dynamic.
