We All Love Each Other

Episode 8 of Undone Season 2 starts with the family gathering to celebrate their new life. Everything is perfect…or is it? Alma starts to flash out, seeing frightening visions and believing, deep down in her gut, that there’s something else that she needs to fix. When she tells Becca as much, Becca doesn’t agree. Alma begins to experience troubling flashes of the future and believes there is still something she needs to take care of. However, her sister Becca does not share her concerns and instead tries to reassure Alma that everything will be okay. ..

Alma is devastated when she hears the news. Jacob is her husband of 10 years and the father of her two children. She knows that he will need a lot of care and support in the coming months. Alma starts to worry about how she will be able to take care of him on her own. When Alma catches up with Camila, she confirms that Jacob has a blood clot and he’s paralyzed on his right side, unable to talk. Alma is devastated when she hears the news. Jacob is her husband of 10 years and the father of her two children. She knows that he will need a lot of care and support in the coming months. Alma starts to worry about how she will be able to take care of him on her own. ..

Alma and Becca contemplate whether to involve Rosario in their decision-making process and ask her for help. They don’t move on from this though, and instead decide to stay in the hospital with their father. When Jacob comes to, he is using sign language to communicate. He signs to Alma, telling her she is the great gift. Right now, he needs to rest. ..

Alma tells Rosario about how she managed to open the door and heal the wounds of her family. For the most part, at least.

Rosario smiles thinly and asks whether there was anything else behind the door at all. This sends shivers up Alma’s spine as she starts to have doubts.

Alma is unwilling to accept the reality of her father’s situation and sets out to save him no matter what. Jacob reflects on how his mother came to him while he was having a massage, telling him that he’ll join her soon. “Part of me is scared,” He says, “But death is not the end. I’m ready.” ..

Alma thought of an alternate way to save Jacob from his fate. Several flashes occurred here, as Alma shifted to different parts of her life. When she finally settles down, she’s back in bed just before her mum rings. The spirit of her father shows up with Geraldine and smiles warmly; a way of saying goodbye.

Alma reflects on what Becca said about how bad things will happen and how they need to find a way to work past that. ..

Alma’s fog continues to swirl around her because her old self - the previous timeline version that hasn’t accepted her father’s death - needs to be healed. That version of Alma is in a rough way and currently in the hospital, cutting herself and seemingly hopeless. ..

With the Alma in this timeline in a much better place, it seems that the only solution now is to head back to her time and fix what she started.

Alma returns to her own time after a teary goodbye to her mother. She specifically visits the moments we saw at the start of episode 1.

Alma is determined to fix her own timeline, and part of that comes from accepting that she’s not alone and embracing her family’s love. ..

She meets back up with Becca, who’s on the phone right where she left her, ready to drive back. Alma looks in the wingmirror and notices a figure in the distance, walking toward the cave. Now, we only see a glimmer of them but it looks like Rosario.

Alma doesn’t want to go back to check. Instead, she wants to head home.

The Episode Review

The final episode of Undone revolves around Alma coming to terms with her father’s death. This whole timeline has been a healing process for Alma and, to be honest, that extends out to this second season as a whole. ..

The multiverse is a concept that has been around for centuries, and it is still being explored by scientists today. Some believe that the multiverse is a real place, while others believe that it is just an idea. Some people believe that Alma physically and mentally went into another timeline, while others believe that she was just mentally ill and imagining all of this. The jury is still out on this one. ..

The ambiguity in the show is intentional, and works to its advantage. It allows for more suspense and intrigue, as we wait to see what will happen next.

The real crux of the issue here stems from Alma’s introspection that things won’t always be boring or terrible, they can get better. Death doesn’t have to be the worst thing in the world, it can be used as a healing process to move past.

Alma’s decision to try and fix her life after returning from the dead feels like it is a definitive end to the story. ..

The idea of trying to fix the perfect life for Alma, only to be hit with the hammer blow of Jacob dying anyway, really nails the complexity of life. Sometimes you just have to deal with it.

A lot has been revealed in the past few episodes of “Alma,” including the complicated relationships between Alma’s parents, Alma’s grandmother, and Alma herself. This show is well-written and makes for a compelling watch.
