‘Paradise’: Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson & More Unpack New Season 2 Twists (VIDEO)

The title of Paradise‘s penultimate Season 2 episode, “The Final Countdown,” is more than fitting as viewers race towards more answers surrounding the latest mysteries in this chapter of Dan Fogelman‘s post-apocalyptic drama led by Sterling K. Brown. Fair warning that there are spoilers for Paradise Season 2 Episode 7 ahead!

As viewers see in the episode’s opening moments, Xavier (Brown) finally reunites with his long-lost wife, Teri (Enuka Okuma), and things take an explosive turn. After so much build-up, Brown tells TV Insider, “I hope [the reunion] is satisfying for the audience… it’s the reason that propelled him out of the bunker in the first place. You don’t know if she’s alive, if she’s not, if she’s been taken, etcetera.”

“To see these two people come together, I hope people feel relief and joy that my man found his woman and his woman found her man,” Brown continues joyfully.

Meanwhile, the concept of what viewers know about the world of Paradise continues to shift as more layers surrounding Sinatra’s (Julianne Nicholson) true motivations are uncovered. During a conversation with newcomer Link (Thomas Doherty), Sinatra is taken aback when she learns his real name is Dylan, just like her son’s, and that their birthdays match.

Despite believing her boy Dylan has been dead for years, the ongoing Alex mystery and project lead us to wonder if Link is somehow connected to the Dylan that once belonged to Sinatra. As for what viewers can read into that, Nicholson tells us, “I think this season it goes so much deeper in understanding that the world is so much bigger than what we understand it to be on the day-to-day and the idea of quantum physics and different timelines happening at the same time, and people coming into our lives at different times.”
