Help Me
Alma is in a precarious situation. She’s in the psych ward, desperate to get out but failing to use the fog to escape her predicament. Although she comes close to seeing Becca at one point, her sister’s echoing voice simply says “Good luck,” as the portal in her room disappears.
Alma sees Geraldine at the piano, though she pleads with her grandmother to help. This is 30 years before she convinces Camila to give up Alejandra but Alma starts to understand the timeline. She believes that she’s been sent back to help; Geraldine claims defiantly that she “stopped all that”, when referencing the abilities.
Jacob comes to Alma from a long way away, and he tells her that the bracelet is there to help his mother. He says that it will make her feel better, and he believes that it will help her find peace.
Alma shows Becca how to play the Rainbow Song on the piano, but midway through, Geraldine shows up with her portal and Alma flees. Alma heads back through to her time.
Becca is encouraged to try and fix their family in this timeline. The trouble is, Camila suggests to Jacob that they break up and get divorced, given their marriage has been over for years. Alma wants to try and prevent that by changing the past and fixing all the issues in their life up until this point. ..
Jacob admits that he drove off the edge of a cliff and killed himself in a previous life, which gave him the ability to consume other people’s abilities. He tells Becca about this, and she is shocked. She believes that they should go back and fix everything, but Jacob eventually agrees. ..
Jacob and Camila visit Geraldine in the hospital. Geraldine can see them, and they watch as Camila and Geraldine grow closer. They begin confiding in one another, doing their make-up and discussing secrets. Specifically, Camila’s adopted son. ..
Geraldine is rattled by her daughter-in-law’s secret and suggests it would be better if she left her. “This baby is a blessing,” Geraldine says, touching her belly.
“Please, Camila,” she begs, “move on. I’m sorry, but I can’t do this anymore.”
Jacob apologizes to Camila for not being there for his mother when he left. He urges her to speak to Camila again and rescind what she initially said.
Alma realizes that the crying from before was actually Geraldine when she was younger. Or Ruchel as she was known back then.
Jacob asks her to open up, and she does just that. However, she leaves us on an almighty cliffhanger, leaving us to wonder what will happen next. ..
The Episode Review
Undone Season 2 delivered another great episode, this time showing that everything is connected between the past and present. It would appear that we’ve got a paradox time loop going on here, especially if Alma teaching Geraldine that song is anything to go by. ..
It seems that whatever has happened in this reality is always going to happen this way, meaning Alma and Becca were always meant to tap into the timeline. At least, that’s the interpretation I’m getting from what we’ve seen so far.
We’re preparing for a timeline that will be completely different now, and with the door open and all manner of memories about to come flooding through, who knows how deep this rabbit hole goes.
With two episodes left in the season, things are definitely starting to get interesting. With so much left to explore, it’s hard to predict where this show will go next.
