Mexico
Episode 3 of Undone Season 2 starts with the reality of the show seemingly falling apart. Camila ends up buying a plane ticket to go to Mexico, but Jacob insists that his wife is just heading off on a family trip. Mum isn’t picking up her phone either, and now Becca is convinced that their mother is in trouble. ..
Alma and Becca phone their family in Mexico, intending to find out where her is. The thing is, their Abuelita hasn’t heard from her either but suggests it could be a surprise trip. So naturally, Alma and Becca decide to hop across to go to Mexico themselves. ..
Becca and her friends go to Abuelita’s house to show her a painting. Becca’s Abuelita tells her that she doesn’t recognize the name Alejandro, but somehow Becca manages to tumble inside her Abuelita’s memory, where she notices Camila at the market.
The sisters decide to press Tia Monse, believing she is the weak link in all this. Talking to her privately, Tai admits that Camila had an ex-boyfriend back during her past whom she was madly in love with. They had unrivaled, passionate love and Tia saw them together. She ended up being their messenger, sending letters between them. Until they were found out that is. ..
After a note is intercepted between them, everything soured and they ended up breaking up. It could well be that this Alejandro is a code-name for Camila’s old lover but in order to get to the bottom of this, they head off to see Padre Reyes the Priest. He doesn’t seem to know anything but Alma convinces her sister to use the fog and see into his past. Specifically, the moments when they broke up. ..
After returning from their visit to Abuelita, the sisters discuss Father Reyes. Becca uses her powers to jump back and dive into the memory their grandmother has been suppressing. Specifically, Abuelita follows Camila to a house – the same house from her painting. They watch as Abuelita berates Camila and demands she never return home again. As she walks away, Becca breaks down into tears as the emotions begin to swirl and overwhelm her. ..
The detectives use fragments of memories to find the house from the painting in the present day timeline. Jacob rings Becca but she doesn’t pick up. Becca collapses after knocking on the door.
The Episode Review
It seems this season is now revolving around Camila and trying to bring the family back together. It’s clear there are a lot of baggage here and it’s unsurprising to find this story taking the turn that it has. ..
The showrunners have been keeping the story moving forward and it’s looking like they’re going to make a big impact on the multiverse as a whole. The visuals are stunning and the story is just as intriguing as season 1. There are some big consequences to this, but so far everything has been handled well.
As Becca and Alma start to piece together the deep themes that are being played with in their memories of the death of their father, it becomes increasingly clear that they should not be messing with these memories. Either way, everything is left wide open for where this one may go next!
