The leftovers s02 e08 a detailed analysis

In this golden age of  television every once a while you get a cathartic episode which is the milestone of the series. The leftovers just had one last week which seems to provide answers to its ever confusing world.

I have not seen "lost" yet but based on reviews it seems to be very similar to this where the audience is usually bewildered and searching for answers. According to me this episode gave us s lot of answers albeit in finer details.

PURGATORY

Kevin wakes up in HOTEL PURGATORY. At first he is confused at where he is then realized that it must be the other side that Virgil was v talking about. Then the cupboard advises him to know thyself and adorn accordingly. He chose the hitman outfit even when presented with the obvious choice of police uniform. Why didn't he chose that , what would have been the story then. Im already imagining a game which would allow us a choice to adorn accordingly and the game resets to that profession.

Anyways , the international assassin story line is intriguing and he has paid 50000 usd to get a meet and greet with the current presidential candidate paddy. Virgil is the concierge in this hotel and advises Kevin not to drink water in the hotel as It would contain them in purgatory. It was at this point a crucial clue comes up. A bird just flies around the hotel.

Assuming that everything is just happening in kevins head, how can Kevin know about the bird which Regina Davis used to bury in the ground. I.e. This has to be purgatory which means there are miracles in miracle.

Double paddy
I believed that in this world paddy has split herself into two , the conniving presidential candidate and the little girl personifying her dark and lighter sides. I don't believe the contention that she got a plastic surgery. Kevin realised that his mission is not yet over when he didn't go back after killing the bad paddy. Fortunately his father was there to help him out in realising that he's needs to get the little paddy as well. If his father can dial into purgatory from the real world v then Kevin should have the ability too.

Then we have a Mary Jamison sighting and it is a boy ladies and gentlemen

The trip to the well and the final talk with lil paddy really personified the lighter side of her and the jeopardy scenario were really poignant and incisive analysis on her character and at the end of it would feel sorry for her.

Kevin miraculously gets back to life by buying him in mud ala true blood style like the bird and now we have a series
