Weird Book/Movie Theory

Ok, go with me here this is going to be a wild one.

What if the female protagonist in toxic relationship books/movies was replaced with a clone during the course of the books/movies and that’s why she’s so ok with everything that happens and initially being against the male protagonist's antics.

The Theory – There's a secret organization that recognizes when women are with super toxic men. Since these men are unlikely to grow as people or seek mental health treatment the organization wants them to stay with their current partner so no other woman will have to deal with them. However, the women don’t want to be stuck with the toxic men so the organization clones them. They then program the clone to stay with the man no matter what. This is why after the female MC breaks up with the male MC she goes from keeping her distance to being right back in the thick of it with little to no reasonable explanation. Let’s take a walk shall we…

Disclaimer – I have not read any of the books nor have I seen most of the movies I’m about to talk about. Most, if not all, of my knowledge of these stories comes from reading Reddit posts about them and watching YouTube videos from KennieJD, DylanIsInTrouble, AmandaTheJedi, and FullOfLit. This theory, which is flimsy at best, is based on very limited knowledge of the various source material.

Where This Theory Came From - I thought of this while I was watching the “Bad Movies and a Beat” video for the Passionflixs' film “Tangled”. In the video Kennie says that Kate, the female MC, went from not giving Drew, the male lead, the time of day to forgiving him later that night. This made me think of 50 Shades of Grey, when Anna goes from wanting nothing to do with Christian to marrying him like 2 months later. It also reminded me of After when Tessa goes from breaking up with Hardin for legit reasons to putting up with his BS for literally zero reasons. I mostly came up with this theory because a large part of me wants to believe there is no way a woman, even a fictional woman, would put up with the crap these men put them and the world through.

After

This is mostly around the plot of the movies. 

Tessa breaks up with Hardin after she finds out about the dare. At first, they stay apart for a while, and she goes on about her life. Then they get back together later and are relatively happy. Then at the end of the 2nd movie she has her car accident. It’s possible this is when the switch happened. The Tessa that left the hospital was not the same Tessa that went in. But OG Tessa maybe felt guilty about never seeing her mom again, so she switches back. It’s not until After Ever Happy when she's about to move to New York that she decides she can’t do it anymore. So, it’s her clone that moves to New York and OG Tessa continues her life in Seattle. 

Note: I know the logistics of this would be wonky especially considering Tessa worked for Hardin’s bio dad’s company but maybe she moved somewhere else and changed her identity. I haven’t fully worked that part out yet. 

I know that in the books her mom is terrible so maybe she realized cutting her off wasn’t the worst thing. This would also explain how she was suddenly able to have children later on. (Please let me know if she had the kids naturally or if they adopted or if they got a surrogate or something. I don’t remember if that was ever explained). 

50 Shades of Grey / Tangled

Anna would’ve switched after she broke up with Christian the first time. After the red room stuff, she was like “nah bruh I’m good” and he kept basically stalking her. The organization would’ve approached her then and she would switch immediately and never look back. The Anna in the 2nd and 3rd books/movies was the clone the whole time. 

Tangled is similar. Kate and her ex Billy had a conversation at her work after he tried to serenade her and get her back. After that Drew assumed Kate was getting back together with Billy and faked setting up a date in front of Kate. Kate, hurt by this, broke up with Drew. Between her breaking up with him and taking him back he kept calling her and sending her things and embarrassing/stalking her. Kate then asked Drew to dinner as a last hurrah so they could have a clean break. But the Kate that asked him to dinner and the Kate that actually went to the dinner were two different people. The clone is the one who attended the dinner. The organization reached out to her during her breakup with Drew and she jumped on the chance. I read the synopsis of the later books (KennieJD has only talked about one movie on her channel and while I know there are at least 2 more books I don't know if they've made any more movies) and I know Kate’s ex becomes really successful later and she and Drew run into him at some point. I think the OG Kate changed her identity and when her ex, Billy, got himself together they reconnected (she obviously would have to tell him everything that happened) and they got back together and went on to live happily ever after.

365 DNI

Now this one is the crazy one, like crazier than all the rest for sure. I think Laura has had multiple clones that have died. When she got kidnapped by Massimo in the beginning, I think a combination of Stockholm Syndrome and giving into the fantasy of being powerful adjacent were driving her. Then he sent her back to Poland. While in Poland she talks to her family and maybe a therapist and starts to realize the depth of the trauma she went through. This is when the organization comes in. At first, she’s on board but starts to change her mind, possibly due to denial from not fully processing her trauma. When Massimo comes back, she’s once again swept up in the fantasy but finding out she’s pregnant knocks her out of it. She agrees to the clone and switches places. But when the car goes through the tunnel at the end of the film her clone is killed. OG Laura loses the baby from the stress, then switches back and pretends like it was her the whole time and that she miraculously survived. 

Then in the second movie she meets and falls in love with Nacho and gets “kidnapped” again. When she finds out that she’s actually been abducted and isn’t just on a sexy vacation she finds a way to contact the organization. When the “wrong” guards have her that’s when the switch happens…again. However, this second clone is shot and dies in the hospital so Laura has to switch back again. In the books Laura chooses Nacho and the movies end on a cliffhanger. This was probably the real Laura because she picked someone other than the OG male love interest. 

Note: there’s a second theory I have where the OG Laura died in the tunnel car accident or earlier because of her heart condition and the organization made a clone so Massimo wouldn’t know but that clone died in the car accident. They made a new one and that one got shot so the last Laura in the 3rd book/movie is the 2nd or 3rd clone. Because where did her heart condition go?! 

Like I said this is just something that’s been floating around in my mind for a while. Tell me what you think and if there are any other toxic relationships where you think the woman (or man) was replaced with a clone. Please remember I have only consumed these books/movies by proxy so any inconsistencies or plot holes should be blamed on me not having all the information from the source material.
