^Alright, I'm still confused. Was there not a 'green flash' on the horizon when Will returned to the Flying Dutchman after seeing Elizabeth after ten years? If so, and I'm seriously asking because I cannot remember, how is that 'green flash' any different from when he returns after the credits...
lol God bless observant wives. I didn't noticed this either, and thought mine was crazy as well. If I had to wager an explanation though, it would be that Will ferried the soul of the hanged boy back to be resurrected as their son.
