We first see Alan soaking in a tub, grinning.
He looks positively giddy no, besotted is more like it.
Whats gotten into you, Agnes?
Lenny wonders before kissing Alan.
(She is.)
Alan isnt worried about learning a lesson or righting any past wrongs: Maybe its not about fixing anything.
You know, like you said, we leveled up.
Maybe were just supposed to like, I dont know, enjoy the ride.
And for once, Alan is determined to enjoy himself blowing off thermodynamics class (I guess?
), eating delicious cakes, and hanging out with the adorable Lenny.
Or perhaps Alan is just relieved not to be himself.
Forget the past four years we dont know much about Alan, period.
We know he has a good friend in Ferran, but is that it?
Season two has one episode fewer than season one, so the storytelling has to be even more economical.
Though shes not on the six train to the past, Nadia still plans some space-time hijinks.
Maybe this speaks to Alan and Nadias connection, that she could see Lenny so clearly?
Or perhaps their stories are starting to bleed together again.
Could Nadia actually be on track to creating a new life for herself and her mother and grandmother?
But she may just be chasing another dead end.
In the end, though, nothing can absolve us but ourselves.
But shes becoming obsessed, which is creating a kind of tunnel vision.
And her newfound single-mindedness is affecting Ruth, even if Nadia cant see it.
Nadia accepts, then immediately gets on a train bound for 1982, only to wake up in 1944.
But I wouldnt be surprised if Nadia misses more than a movie night.
But the latter feels more obligatory than purposeful.
Greta Lee really makes the most of her screen time; Maxines disgusted Theyre not meant to be!
Nadia says Yum, yum while reading over Peter Falks Wikipedia page.
Like Nadia, Falks father was of Russian descent, while his mother was part Hungarian.
An incredulous Nadia: Alan, the only reason to go into the past is to change shit.
I mean, havent you ever seen a movie?
A slightly exasperated Alan: Every movie about time travel says dont change things.
This is why I need more of these two together!
