I assume Future Olivia knew she needed them to play out their roles in the cycle, her past self apparently being abandoned by The Witness and eventually going to Titan to kill "him" was what led to her becoming The Witness in the first place. So basically there needed to be that red herring for her past self to go after, which she knew because she'd already done it ... if that makes sense?

I'm sure it will all be much clearer next season since we'll presumably see Olivia truly become The Witness and see her doing the things we've seen The Witness doing over the first few seasons.

Oh no I know that I mean that's why i think it was, planned from the start and not just making it up as they go along

Ohh I thought you meant why would they be protected if Athan wasn't The Witness
