Dark Matter Season 2 episode 7s ending, explained: Who does Charlie see?

Well, this is all getting a little bit confusing, isn't it? Inter-dimensional travel that spawns multiple versions of the same person is all very well and good, but it doesn't half make things a bit hard to follow.

As we get towards the end of Dark Matter Season 2, most of the main characters are now split up and entangled with other versions of themselves.

As usual, episode 7 left us with a lot of questions.

We've done our best to unpack the bigger ones below.

SEE ALSO: 'Dark Matter' Season 2, episode 5 is the best kind of filler episode Who does Charlie see in Laurel's house? At the end of episode 6, Charlie (Oakes Fegley) makes the ill-advised decision to go into the box in an attempt to track down his twin brother Max, who died in his own world when he was just four years old.

After experiencing the usual mixture of first-solo-box-voyage terror, he closes his eyes and asks for help, before ending up inside the home of a woman named Laurel (Margo Martindale).

Laurel seems friendly enough — she even has a little welcome sign — and she shares her advice with Charlie about how he might be able to find Max.

Then, right at the end, a door into the room clicks open.

We see Charlie turn and look at someone off-screen, then stand up with an uncertain expression on his face.

"It's okay," Laurel says.

We don't see who Charlie sees.

Next thing we know he's back in the corridor, on his way to find Max.

So, who is it that enters the room? Well, the short answer is we don't know.

But it's clearly someone Charlie recognises; we can tell that much from his expression.
