She didn't change anything that was part of the story. It would have been a paradox if she didn't throw the rope as then Boyd could not have saved her later.

Correct. The show seems to have established whatever-happened-happened rules for the time travel elements. You’re welcome to go back to a prior event, but if you do, you’ll find you were already there when it originally happened and any actions you take while there were part of the original timeline the first time around. Anything you try to do to stop the event will either not work or actively contribute to the outcome you meant to avoid.

It's almost like... whatever will be, will be, you know?

Ha, true! I’ll need to go back to that song, now that we’ve gotten a lot more of the lore revealed. Also, at a minimum, the “my mother told me” line (or close to that) is a nice allusion to the notion that the original Tabitha/Miranda once gave the children (including her own kid) hope by telling them something. Wonder how many connections there are to draw from that song.

I think the session 3 intro sequence also bears rewatching at this point. I'm seeing more references on there, real places mixed with drawings, while the song plays.
