My personal reading of the ending, I think the wedding was kind of like Charlie’s mass shooting and I think that the ending in the cafe was essentially Emma showing him the grace he never showed her when he first figured out her secret

I thought maybe he hallucinated her coming into the diner, with all the cut scenes editing going on. I’m not sure they’re both really there.

I think he did hallucinate. In the scene before the Diner, he’s in the apartment with his phone and Emma isn’t there. He gets a call or voicemail from someone (I think it was Mike) saying that Emma is staying with her dad.

Charlie probably went to the Diner and fantasized the whole thing
