The Time Traveler's Wife Season 1 Ending Explained (In Detail)
This article contains spoilers for The Time Traveler's Wife episode 6.
The Time Traveler's Wife season 1 came to a dramatic conclusion, revealing Henry and Clare's marriage won't be a happy one - but seeing them get married all the same. Based on the best-selling debut novel by Audrey Niffenegger, HBO's The Time Traveler's Wife — written and produced by former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat — is perhaps not a love story at all. The Time Traveler's Wife's model of time travel essentially means neither of its two stars, Henry DeTamble (Theo James) or Clare Abshire (Rose Leslie), ever really chose one another at all.
Clare first met Henry when she was just six years old, and her entire character formed itself around him — meaning he is her very definition of the ideal man. She's long known she was destined to marry him, and has even done her best to save herself for Henry. But Henry, for his part, had no idea Clare was waiting for him until he was 28 years old, when Clare bumped into him when he was working at his job in the library. She exploded into his life, declaring herself the woman he was destined to marry. History can't be changed in Time Traveler's Wife — or so its protagonists believe — meaning both decided to make it work. Clare, for her part, is confident Henry will change over the years, becoming the man she met so many times throughout her life.
