The Painting

Alma tries to convince Becca to help open up a strange wooden door in this fog. Alma claims this is her ancestors reaching out. Becca refuses and instead, takes off in her car.

Jacob confronts Camila about taking out a $5000 loan. She claims it’s for a cousin but that doesn’t seem true. The pair’s relationship is clearly on the rocks, but when Alma questions him about it, Jacob brushes it aside and tells her not to pry. So naturally, Alma does just that. ..

Alma heads up to the attic, determined to look into her father’s research through the years. She finds an old painting of Camila up there.

Camila tries to mend bridges with Becca, apologizing for what happened the night before. Camila brushes aside any concerns again and claims that there’s nothing going on. When she leaves, Alma meets with Becca and shows her the painting she found on the attic. It would appear that this guy, Alejandro, was the one who painted it. There’s also an inscription on the back, reading “For my beauty, a piece of your soul will always be here.” Based on this, Alma deduces that their mother was having an affair with Alejandro and he may have been blackmailing her with $5000 wired to Mexico. ..

Alma and Becca decide to use Becca’s memories to jump back and try to make life better. They don’t want to do that, pointing out that their lives are perfect the way they are. Back home, Becca finds Reed, who drops birth control pills on the table. Given they’ve been talking about having a baby and getting pregnant, it’s a kick in the teeth to find out his wife has been lying. She claims it’s from a time before they were married but he’s not so sure.

Alma runs into Sam while she’s smoking a cigarette outside. He doesn’t know her in this reality and eventually leaves her standing outside in the dark, the bittersweet taste of regret in her mouth. Or maybe that’s just the cigarette!

Alma and Becca reconvene over a glass of wine at Alma’s house. While there, Alma starts playing the piano and, specifically, “The Rainbow Song.” This is actually something they used to hum together, and it was their family anthem of sorts. As they play together, Becca conjures forth memories of the past, and how it always helped calm them during times of distress.

Becca and Alma are considering whether to stop Camila and Alejandro from ever meeting. They first need to find out who Alejandro is.

The next morning, Camila is in a state of shock when she wakes up to find that her painting has been taken from her home. She assumes that the thieves took it because she’s been caught with an affair and is now being punished. However, when she looks at the security footage from the night before, she realizes that someone else was there and they took the painting without her knowledge.

Jacob arrives at the door and speaks to his daughters in his office, where the truth about the time travel, skipping across realities and how Alma and Becca both seem to have powers is laid out on the table. ..

Jacob is shocked when he hears a bang outside. It’s Camila, she’s driving off. “Alma, what have you done?” Jacob asks, as everything is left hanging precariously on a knife edge.

The Episode Review

The second episode of Undone continued to deepen the mystery – and the potential timeline meddling. It was clear that we were stepping into the realm of this reality being distorted and changed forever, but we would have to wait and see exactly how big of an impact this was going to have on our characters. ..

It seems that whatever’s going on with Camila is connected to the timeline staying intact, and changing it will only lead to more chaos and destruction. It’s clear that Alma and Becca are meddling too much, and it’s not good for either of them.

Undone ended its latest episode with another good one, leaving the rest of the season open for some serious ramifications to Alma’s actions. ..
