Brother Justin would have been "severely weakened and prone to exhaustion, serving as a hollow figurehead in his burgeoning ministry. Sofie and Iris would be vying for the power behind the throne, with Sofie by far the more dangerous of the two, although Iris is a force to be reckoned with."[100] Knauf had the intention of marrying Brother Justin to Sofie at some point in the future,[23] and the third season would have shown a three-year-old boy amidst Sofie and the Crowes. Knauf left the question about the child's parents open.[4] Ben's future would face other hardships.
