- Amy's return to Nick's house in front of the cameras: estimates start at 25 million YouTube views and climb to 125 million, since it would be the craziest clip of all time and a national story.
- Rosamund Pike has mentioned rumors of a Gone Girl sequel she would be interested in; it could be the ten-episode Netflix show, the further adventures of Amy Dunn (as transcribed) orchestrating something else the internet would hate, or a pitched Gone Girl 2 in which Amy, Ben and their Damien-like daughter visit a carnival and cartel members shoot up the place over Affleck's bad drug deal, a Den of Thieves or Peppermint crossover, or Gone Boy with a five-year-old kidnapped at the carnival.
- What their kid's life will be like: good at soccer and an Ivy League school, against the reminder that Amy is a psychopath, not crazy in the casual euphemistic sense, the star of a future Mindhunter season, so the child would not be happy.
- Did no one hear them in the bookshop, with a person very close by; asked what they would do if they heard, the hosts would walk away, maybe taking out a few books first; a call to bring out Ben Affleck to demonstrate how he pulled it off ends the section.
- Asked, as a question just for her, whether there was any fluffing, she is glad it was brought up, has been wondering about it, and thinks there had to be a little. — Mallory Rubin
- Whether Amy went to Desi's knowing what she would do the whole time, or decided once she lost her money, is parked as an interesting unanswerable question.
- What would have happened if Nick had left: fear of exposure of things he had done, fear that she would do something like kill his sister, or the baby, which one host calls the only thing that makes him stay, while another senses an ambiguity in the conversation with Margot that he wants to be with her.
- Leftover questions: Tanner Bolt's two guys he keeps mentioning could have filled thirty minutes; and what happened to Bleecker the cat, who is said to be thriving, or to have run away and been hit by a car.
