but how literally are you supposed to take this moment exactly? I don’t think we are supposed to take the idea Indy is knocked out by a single punch and they get him back and to bed. It’s more that the cut is playful and giving the idea of that, but really it could be taken he’s punched to make him come to his senses?
In my opinion, there is no ambiguity in the scene because after the cut, he wakes up in his bed and looks, confused, around him and the medicine on the shelves. It almost felt like a potential moment where he would have realized it was all a dream (but thanksfully it was not aha).
He then tells directly Helena when he sees her in his living room that she should have let him stay in the past.
I guess it doesn't definitely close the door to the possibility that she punched him to make him come to his sense but as she already tried hard to make it come to his sense in the previous scene with Archimedes, during a moving monologue, it makes way more sense to me than he wakes up in his bed after the punch. Or rather that he was punched out when they got back to the present (by getting into Teddy's plane and getting back to the time fault) and that he might have waken from time to time during his convalescence here and there but that we see the first moment where he finally gets out of bed and meets Helena.
