The Leftovers 2.10 FAQ

What’s it called?

“I Live Here Now.”

Who’s responsible?

Teleplay is credited to series creators Damon Lindelof & Tom Perrotta.

What says HBO?

“Kevin (Justin Theroux) comes clean to a skeptical John (Kevin Carroll) about his connection to Evie’s disappearance, as Miracle faces an unexpected threat on the fourth anniversary of The Departure.”

Does the episode open with a flashback?

Yes.

How does it start?

We see for ourselves what happened to Evie and her pals.

And Kevin and his masonry?

Yes.

Does Meg wake up Mary Jamison?

Not this week.

What’s doing with Meg?

As best I remember, she orders no one stoned this week.

Is Kevin still haunted by Patti?

“She’s gone,” Kevin tells his daughter’s boyfriend. And indeed there is no sign of Patti this week.

What’s doing with Jill and her mom?

“You’re going to have to talk to me eventually,” Laurie tells Jill. But I’m not certain Laurie is right about this!

Is Nora back?

As the episode starts, we see Nora continue to look after Lily and Mary.

Does Bill Murray’s brother Joel (“Mad Men”) return as that employee of the U.S. Department of Sudden Departure?

No.

Does the Reverend Matt Jamison keep his clothes on?

There’s a tense moment when Matt climbs a ladder outside of town, but Matt’s Tardis remains concealed. (It should be noted, however, that there’s a lot of clothing removal generally this week.)

The big news?

This is a long episode, perhaps 12 minutes longer than is customary.

What else is HBO not telling us?

This season probably does not end the way you think it’s going to end.

What’s good?

Carrie Coon as Nora. Liv Tyler as Megan. The return of The Bellamy Bros. The scoreboard. Paul Simon’s cigarettes and magazines. Kevin’s dog. “I won’t. You going to church?” “Where’s Matt?” “Will that work?” “Because it’s stupid.”

What’s not so good?

One may find oneself growing impatient with all the speechifying in church -- considering what’s going on outside church.

How does it end, spoiler boy?

“Home,” explains Nora.

9 p.m. Sunday. HBO.
