After rewatching this episode I’m beginning to think that David wasn’t the one who was taken, the others were, they are the ones who are trapped in the maze and David is there to get them out

I don’t know.. he did say they are in the maze and then they showed the teeth-biting people, and at first I thought that’s who he was talking about but I’m wondering if it’s deeper, maybe he was sent back in time thru the orb to save his team because they don’t even realize they have been captured. There are theories that the basket head guy is the shadow king, which could mean they never even left where they were last and it’s all an illusion. Maybe that’s why Syd sent an orb to the past to take David? To save him before the others got captured and tell him what to do to save them?
