Given Syd's power, and the birth and early childhood scenes, I thought the idea was that Syd gave birth to herself, that in most scenes she and her mother switched places, and the struggle was that all she could kiss or touch was herself (as another person). That only with David's psychic powers could she kiss and touch as herself. But boy I was so wrong.
I still cannot fully comprehend the meaning of the conclusion, but it is impactful. It will certainly occupy my thoughts for quite a while. Having finished "Lucifer" the TV show not too long ago, helped me frame the religious allegory better. Seeing others' reviews, perhaps it's only that my life experience couldn't relate. I had it easy. But that's also something I have always wanted to understand, as a person, what happens on the other side of the aisle. This would be my favorite Legion episode, so far.
