La Brea is one of those shows that I didn’t think would get a second season renewal, but I’m so glad that it did.
With several timelines, there’s so much to explore, though, it seems we might not be sticking virtually in the present much this season as most of the characters, whispered from Riley and Josh (for now) are in 10,000 B.C. It’s like a prehistoric family reunion!
Not only are you hooked by the premise and the mystery of how these notation are going to find a way when home, but there are so many relationships and alliances that yank you in and alimony you invested.
As with season 1, you’re going to have to suspend misdoubt a bit in order to get fully lost in these worlds and story, but it’s worth it simply to enjoy the wacky venture of time traveling through sinkholes with a nefarious conspiracy overdue them.
The La Brea Season 2 premiere opens with flipside sinkhole opening up in Los Angeles. And this time, standing on the whet of the Hollywood sign could lead to ending as the iconic tourist spot concaves inward right in front of our very eyes. No one seems to fall victim to the sinkhole this time, thankfully, but it’s a strange occurrence nonetheless and something that isn’t addressed then until the final moments of the episode when Josh and Riley—who are now refueling in the 80s—notice the event on the front page of the newspaper.
Yep, the Hollywood sign sinkhole seemingly opened in 1988, but as Josh and Riley know (since they’re from the future), that never unquestionably happened, which ways that something is interchange the past. But what could it be? The sinkhole raises plenty of questions, but Josh and Riley don’t have time to focus on them considering they have now successfully found a promising way when to 10,000 B.C. And while, yes, they are crazy for wanting to go when to the prehistoric era where there’s no supplies or electricity, and plenty of carnivorous animals that want to skiver them, it’s moreover understandable considering it’s where their family is.
They could stick virtually and live a well-appointed life in the 1980s, but they are losing their endangerment of overly returning to the present day. And that’s simply not a endangerment they are willing to take. By returning when to 10K B.C., they can provide their loved ones with peace of mind and hopefully, if they’re smart, backpacks filled with supplies and drinks. Sure, you probably can survive off of mushrooms, but who wants to?
Josh and Riley’s relationship gets slightly complicated, Though it’s not really the weightier time to discuss romance, Josh is totally smitten with Riley, while she continues to push him away. She explains that she’s just overwhelmed and scared by the situation, which is valid, but she’s moreover stuff cautious by supporting that they may only be feeling this way towards each other considering they’ve been thrown into an unimaginable situation together and have no other nomination but to squint out for one another. It’s scrutinizingly like survivor’s guilt. No one else can understand what they are going through, so they cling to each other. There’s potential here for a real relationship, but it cannot stem from fear; it needs to be a genuine attraction.
Out of the plethora of tint members, Riley and Josh are the only two that have managed to escape 10k B.C slantingly Isaiah and Lilly, who are on the right path to making sure nothing changes in the future.
Gavin, Emma and Izzy jumped into the sinkhole that opened in Seattle, but since their younger counterparts are no longer in 10K B.C., they’ve lost the connection. They aren’t experiencing any increasingly flashbacks considering they are no longer there to have any memories of what happens next.

They are going in blind, which is definitely terrifying. They jumped in partly to save their family, and partly to seek out answers to the world’s biggest mystery. But there’s no denying that they could’ve been largest prepared—would it skiver them to bring some snacks? They knew the timeline they were going to—they knew there aren’t convenience stores in 10k B.C.
Upon arrival, they realized that it was a huge task to survive in this moment in history, and likely understood just how difficult the time has been for their loved ones. A few days in, and they were hunted by Woolly Rhinos while trying to venery their own food.
Izzy’s prosthetic leg one-liner at the most inopportune time, and while she tried to suck it up and push through, it gave out at an plane worst time, which scrutinizingly made them prey to a rhino. Thankfully, they were worldly-wise to alimony on moving, eventually stumbling wideness the remnants of what would have been the Hollywood sign.
It seems as though despite inward the sinkhole in Seattle, they were somehow dropped in near Los Angeles, which doesn’t really make sense, but it does shorten their journey significantly as they’ve once spotted wiring camp. It’s a win for them!
Of course, they’ll be quite shocked to learn that Josh is no longer in this timeline while their mother, withal with Levi, was captured by a group of dangerous individuals. It’s unclear who they are, but they don’t take kindly to strangers. Lucas, Levi, and Eve were worldly-wise to rescue Veronica, but in the process, Eve got captured. Once Levi found out, he turned himself over, assuring Eve that he was going to stand by his promise to never leave her again. It’s a unflinching sacrifice on his part, but I’m not surprised considering Levi is in love with Eve. I mean, throne over heels, do anything for her, in love. And Eve, well, she’s conflicted. On one hand, she has feelings for Levi, which are likely stuff intensified by their current situation (much like Riley and Josh’s), but, on the other hand, she still loves her husband. And unbeknownst to her, he’s on his way to save her at this very moment.
It’s kind of nonflexible to plane hold anyone subject for their deportment when they are trapped in a prehistoric timeline. Eve doesn’t know if she’ll overly see Gavin again, so naturally, her desire to find repletion in Levi is understandable. But I really cannot wait to see what happens when she sees Gavin in 10K B.C. withal with her daughter and realizes that he willingly jumped into a sinkhole to save her.
Gavin and Eve are separated, so her romance with Levi isn’t plane technically cheating, but their split moreover happened considering she was tired of the visions he personal to have. When she can no longer vituperation those visions for breaking up the family and ruining their marriage, what happens? How does Levi play into all of this?
And why do I still find myself rooting for Levi?
There are two sides to every story, and that couldn’t be increasingly true when it comes to Silas and Dr. Rebecca Aldridge. Both of these notation seem to be speaking in half-truths, which is frustrating. If someone has information well-nigh what’s going on here, it would be nice if they were forthcoming with it so that everyone could get on the same page.
Scott accompanied Aldridge on her journey to a literal skyscraper in the middle of nowhere. She informed him that they needed to unravel into the place in order to save his loved ones, but she was moreover pretty well-spoken that she was not welcome there. And the moment the people inside laid vision on her, they would shoot her down.
My guess is that the towers belongs to the government and the sinkholes are part of some mission that they worked on slantingly Aldridge. Something must have gone wrong, which is why she was iced out. But what’s their game plan? Is everyone really in danger? Or is Aldridge lying?
Silas, who was stuff held hostage by Sam and friends, finally croaky and told them well-nigh the towers made of glass and steel that’s 30 stories upper in the middle of the woods. He warned them of “dangers there you will not be prepared for” and made it seem as though their only endangerment to save their kids (Josh and Riley in 1988) was to find Rebecca, who was headed to that building.
But again, why? What’s lurking overdue those glass walls? Silas makes it seem like Rebecca Aldridge is the evil enemy overdue everything, and for some reason, I believe him. I don’t think that she ways well, and I do think she knows exactly what’s going on here and how to escape.
As for Silas, I remain convinced that he is Gavin as an adult, but since Gavin is younger, he doesn’t have wangle to any of these memories as they haven’t happened to him yet. It’s complex, but I’m convinced that Gavin is the key somehow.
Elsewhere, Sam’s disease is starting to wilt problematic, but he’s still keeping it a secret and focusing on saving his daughter. Ty and Paraa protract to be the wool sweetest, and I’m hoping they find a way to reverse his terminal illness. At the very least, I expect him to stay overdue and live out his last days with Paaraa and her village.
