Outer Range Season 2 Ending Explanation: The Story Plot

Royal saves Autumn after the shootout-chase with her and Billy Tillerson, believing her to be the older version (and who has therefore traveled in time like him) of his granddaughter Amy, and taking her home to his wife Cecilia, to whom he decides to tell the story of the mysterious hole and how he, when he was a child who had accidentally killed his father, found that gap and threw himself into it, ending up transported from 1886 to 1968. In the meantime, the Abbotts have to deal with both the estrangement of Rhett, who left with his girlfriend Maria after winning the rodeo, and the disappearance of Perry, who after being released on bail for the murder of Trevor Tillerson learned of the hole and threw himself into it, to look for his wife Rebecca who had just taken Amy away too, but also putting his family in serious financial trouble.

The antagonistic Tillerson family isn’t doing well either, but compared to how the first season ended there is happy news, in the sense that both Billy, who seemed to have died in the shooting incident, and Luke, who was overwhelmed by the bison when he inadvertently opened another mini-gap by digging into the ground, they are still alive. And so is patriarch Wayne, who had suffered a heart attack after discovering what Royal had been hiding from him for years. It is easy to predict, therefore, that the feud between Abbott and Tillerson will continue in season 2, but Deputy Sheriff Joy has mysteriously disappeared and will not be able to act as the peacemaker. Let’s say again that in Outer Range Season 2 there will be different time planes, or rather different eras in which the characters will move, but we won’t reveal any further to avoid spoilers: if you’re interested, here is the official trailer for Outer Range Season 2.

Outer Range Season 2 Ending Explanation

In the penultimate episode, Luke Tillerson accidentally killed his brother Billy during an argument over who, according to the visions, was Autumn’s destined helper in the future. Furthermore, Cecilia and Royal had been told by James, Rebecca’s ex-lover, where Perry’s wife and daughter are, in the meantime went to look for them in 1984, where he met her parents, and revealed his true identity to the young Royal. And so Royal and Cecilia head to the shelter where Rebecca and Amy have taken refuge, with Cecilia in particular worried that Amy might forgive her after discovering that her grandmother had kicked her mother out of the house when she discovered her mother’s infidelity. woman towards her son. Meanwhile, Wayne Tillerson has found Billy’s body and sends a voicemail of hatred and biblical threats to Luke. Wayne is destroyed by the pain of having also lost Billy after Trevor, and in the grip of a fit of madness, he sets fire to the house, starting from the stuffed owls with which he had caught a hallucinated Luke talking.

In 1984, Perry and Royal find themselves in front of the hole that has just reappeared, and after a discussion about the duties of children, Royal pushes Perry into the hole, to make him go back to his time to fix what needs fixing. But where is Luke? He is with Autumn, and the two of them are also heading to Amy and Rebecca, to take the little girl away and throw her into the hole, to start the prophecy and the story of Autumn herself, who is precisely Amy who in a at some point it ended up in the past. And while they’re in the car, Luke comes to confess to Autumn what he did to Billy. Wayne, after contemplating the idea of ​​dying in the flames he set himself, decides to head to the hole to understand what he can and must do now, having lost two out of three children, without the miraculous mineral being able to bring Billy back to life. and Trevor. Oh yeah? Well, meanwhile Perry has returned to the present, but not really, in the sense that he finds himself back in that evening when it all began, when he killed Trevor in the fight.

And he arrives in the nick of time, but when he calls them back to stop them the other Perry is so amazed that he takes a hit from Trevor which causes him to hit his head and kill him. Trevor, however, believes he has gone mad and runs away, with Perry 2 having to dispose of his corpse instead of the eldest Tillerson. Shortly afterward Rhett also arrives, who doesn’t understand what happened when he sees the bloodstains and Trevor’s buckle (the one Royal had stolen from Joy’s office in the first season). Let’s move briefly to Joy, who is shown to us when she is woken up in the garden of her house by her wife and daughter, in front of a bear, a wolf, an eagle, and a bison who are walking away.

And we return to Luke and Autumn who have arrived at the shelter in Fourwings. Autumn, who remembers everything about her past after that vision in which she mentally connected with Amy (who recognizes her without difficulty), convinces Rebecca to hand over her daughter to her to take her back to her grandparents, in exchange for silence about alcoholism and other things made secretly by Rebecca. In the meantime, Wayne has reached the chasm, and after asking it for a sign to understand what to do, he throws himself into it, probably to change the fate of his family. And so, we say goodbye next season to Wayne Tillerson. Royal and Cecilia have also arrived at Fourwings, but when they discover what Autumn has done with Luke’s help, they understand that they want to throw Amy into the hole.

And since Autumn has no intention of listening to their request to free her granddaughter, Royal calls Joy to ask her to go to the hole and prevent Amy from being thrown into her at all costs. Elsewhere on the ranch, Rhett meets Dr. Nia Bintu, the geologist who believes that “time” flows underground in the west pasture. Rhett tells her that in exchange for various payments, she will “be a good son” and talk to Father about her to convince him to let the hole be investigated. And Maria also finds a way to “round up”, pocketing some banknotes that she was counting in her job as a bank employee.

The Conclusion of Outer Range Season 2

In the past to which Perry has returned, meanwhile, he disposes of his corpse by throwing it into the hole (where else?). In the present, however, Luke and Autumn reach the hole, guarded by Sheriff Joy. But despite her efforts and the shot in Autumn’s chest, Joy is unable to prevent her baby from falling into that chasm, which closes immediately afterward. Just before Cecilia and Royal arrive, with the latter feeling ill. And so, both the grandfather and the granddaughter end up in hospital, and here Cecilia discovers that Amy is perhaps lost forever. Under the knife, Autumn seems to die, but then we see both her recovery in the operating room and Amy who wakes up in the middle of a desert. A man and a woman come to her aid, to whom she introduces herself as Autumn, remembering only that name: and here is the beginning of this story, those are probably the adoptive parents of the little girl.

In the recent past, Perry arrives home and here he first meets Rhett, to whom he gives reassurances about the blood and the buckle, and then his father Royal, and his daughter Amy show up at the door, who asks the father to read her a bedtime story. From the exchange of glances with Royal, however, we do not understand whether this Royal remembers having met Perry in the past: we will find out in the third season. In the present Royal is in the hospital, and dreams of leaving home and meeting all the various versions of himself and his family that we have met in this second season. “Time is a river, Royal, and this is your destiny,” they all tell him, over and over. He wakes up, gets dressed, and starts to leave, with Joy telling him what happened to Amy and Autumn. “The future is coming, Joy, you have to help me stop it,” Royal tells Joy, who responds, “No one can stop the future.” Riyal hugs his wife, who promises that everything will be fine, and finally, we revisit Royal’s dream, which ends with Autumn telling him “This is just the beginning”. The curtain on the second season of Outer Range.
