My liner has wrinkles and water behind it. Is there a chance of it returning to somewhat normal when the water table drops or am I for sure going to have to replace it?

You think it could be damaged beyond just replacing the liner?

There is always a chance. How is your luck in general?

Pump works but I was out of town for the initial deluge a couple of days ago and the pool overflowed. I think that's when the shite hit the fan

I'd give it a couple days and see if it fixes itself, if not you can do what my parents are currently doing and basically putting in a new pool, for like 80 fricking grand. Don't know when pools got so damn expensive.

LSUballs - unless it is ripped you just pull it back up. Its tiresome, but using a hair dryer and lots of finger pulling you can do it. wear gloves! lower water. once you get the hang of it its easier.

and you never came and got mayhaws last year.

Ever see the movie Shawshank Redemption? It's like that except there's no redemption and it ends after one of the scenes in the prison laundry.

Don't listen to Shitlitz. All he knows how to do is monitor the help board and quote TD commandments.

If you have the ability to pump behind the liner then get that bitch pumping. Doesn't matter what it looks like at this point you've got to get the water out and can deal with any wrinkles later

I have a lot of experience with this. Unfortunately, it's all bad. Yes, the liner will settle but chances are high that some wrinkles will still be there and they're almost impossible to get out. I pump from behind the liner religiously after heavy rains but I waited about an hour too long yesterday. Pumped water out all night but it's too late. I have a few huge wrinkles that aren't coming out. I've tried everything in the past. I absolutely hate seeing my pool like that. Drives me crazy.
