There are a couple of problems with calling it a coma - why the test card girl? And why have so much other stuff that is not directly related to either the serial killer (his initial coma reason), or his Dad?
Even if it is a coma, it doesn't make a great deal of sense that his brain would go to a point with the serial killer and invent a consistent timeline up to the point of his Dad's departure (and seemingly make that inconsistent with his own memory). For that reason alone it would be right to extend the storyline beyond that point.
I'm still not sure where it all leaves me... I can fit bits of the puzzle into a variety of consistent chunks, but not the whole. A coma probably is the most down-to-earth explanation that fits the most pieces, but it still needs a bit more work.
