SPOILER ALERT!!!!
Hey everyone.. I just finished reading the book and I find myself extremely confused by the supposed role of Jamie in the events happening at the end.
So, Mary Fay is the door that gives access to Mother to enter this world in a physical form. This part is clear.
However, Charlie states that Jamie's presence is essential as he (Jamie) is the connection. A bit later, Jamie explains that he was the key that allowed Mother through the door by merit of having residue/leftover/dormant "secret electricity" from his healing.
Here's what I don't get: isn't Jenny (the nurse) also a cure and thus she could fulfill the role of connection/key?
As a matter of fact, there are over 3100 cures, a lot of whom would have enthusiastically helped. Why Jamie? I understand that his part in this affair could be simply coincidence or his destiny but it seemed to me through the climax that there's more to it.
What did I miss?
