(He was in a similar state in that not-so-distant flash-forward in theseason 2 finale.)

She wants you to be there, said Randall.
What was running through Sullivans head when he first learned that Toby would factor into the flash-forward mystery?

Hes an old Toby, so we now know hes in the future timeline.

I cant say anything, one way or the other, he says.
Its a well-constructed storyline.
Thats a terrible idea, he says.
And were going to be watching him come undone throughout the beginning of the season.
Metz echoes this sentiment, noting that Tobys decision is primarily driven by the couples mutual angst.
Theres so much guilt they both have, and they both share, she tells EW.
Theyre both going through the same thing, but very differently.

So its something were going to get to sooner than later.
Adds Berger: Its that balance between fun-but-not-distracting and frustrating.

It sounds like the next clue may focus less on identity and more on predicament, though.
He hints: Its along the lines of what is it that led her to this situation?'
And as the puzzle pieces stack up, who knows?
So might the Kleenex boxes.
