It will forever be my headcanon that he was experimenting on them to raise an army of psychic child soldiers, because absolutely nothing in the show contradicts that.
I mean, when it comes right down to it, there's also nothing to contradict the idea that he was fusing them together into a megababy that he planned to send rampaging through the streets of Manhattan.
My personal favorite was Laszlo realizing that everything does not in fact depend solely on him, and that that's actually a good thing
Exactly!! It's just such a lovely, satisfying arc. He goes from being almost entirely emotionally isolated and unable to make connections with people, while simultaneously viewing himself as the lynchpin holding the Institute together ... to making friends, and loving people, and realizing that he's just one small part of a bigger whole, and that's fine. The world will not end if he goes off to Austria and spends a year or two pursuing Freud around Vienna lecturing him about all his wrong ideas and having extremely kinky sex with Karen.
But the Sara/John story was also lovely, especially because I felt more and more uneasy about what would realistically happen to Sara's life if she married John. Well, Sara knew too, and she didn't.
Yeah, I never really got the "wrong" vibe off them (and their sex scene was really tender and lovely!) but I also feel like the show did a very good job of setting them up as characters so that when we finally got to the breakup, rushed as all of that was, it felt like the right choice for both of them.
