Surprising revelations, existential crises, touches of comedy and terror, family reconciliations, a wedding in Las Vegas… The latest episode with Kaley Cuoco has had it all.
WATCH OUT! SPOILERS FOR ‘THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT’ SEASON 2 BELOW
The end of the second season of ‘The Flight Attendant’ has been full of surprising plot twists and has closed a very important personal and emotional circle for Cassandra Bowden. And beware, it has also left us clues for a possible third season. Of course, the eighth episode has not given a single breath: there are international trips, unexpected revelations, hilarious sequences, resolution of existential crises, chases typical of a horror movie, family reconciliations, a wedding in Las Vegas… We are going to analyze everything well, and see how things are for the third season of ‘The Flight Attendant’.
At the end of episode 2×07 we leave the protagonist played by Kaley Cuoco in a most tricky moment: after finally discovering who is Cassie’s double in ‘The Flight Attendant’, Grace St James (Mae Martin), Cassie is shocked when her former flight attendant partner shoots herself next to her while riding a Ferris wheel.. Before doing so, he leaves her an important clue saying that this whole matter is much bigger than she thinks and is not just her concern. We’ll soon find out what she meant.
The CIA arrive on the scene, where Agents Benjamin Barry (Mo McRae) and Shane Evans (Griffin Matthews) are injured after being stabbed by Grace, and the Diaz are arrested after being electrocuted by Annie (Zosia Mamet). Amid the confusion, Chief Dot Karlson takes Cassie away and suggests they stop by her house so she can shower and wash the blood out of her hair. And that’s where Cassie puts all the pieces of the puzzle together: she finds a bottle of Santal 33 (the same perfume that Annie caught on the bloody clothes in her suitcase) and notices an army photo that is torn in half (just like the one she saw in Grace’s house)two elements that confirm the connection between the two women.
The truth is that Dot has no trouble confessing her crimes and informing her guest that she is just one of the many disturbed souls she has used to her advantage to get away with it. Cassie manages to save herself from her thanks to the personal alarm that Miranda (Michelle Gómez) gave her in the fourth episode of this season, but In the end, it is the same CIA agents who arrest their boss under the orders of Barry, who has discovered all their dirty laundry.. Cassie is safe. For now.
During the episode we have seen that Davey (TR Knight), Cassie’s brother, has been sending her very worrying messages, and it turns out that he has been kidnapped by Jenny (Jessie Ennis), the young woman from Alcoholics Anonymous who has a podcast. Well, the podcast doesn’t really exist, and all this time he’s been obsessing over every aspect of Cassie’s life. Why? Here comes something we did not expect: she is madly in love with Feliks (Colin Woodell). Yep, the same Feliks who went from boyfriend to sociopathic killer in the season one finale! The same Feliks who murdered Alex Sokolov and started this whole series!
We did not expect to meet this character again in the second season. Apparently, Jenny became obsessed with the killer, whom she visited in prison, and Feliks saw an opportunity to manipulate her and get his revenge on Cassie.. Basically, he convinced her that Cassie had to die so they could be together. Luckily, she doesn’t make it: Jenny chases Cassie with a hammer until Davey regains consciousness from her and hits her over the head until she is unconscious.
This moment is not only important because they have managed to survive a psycho killer, but also because Cassie Bowden has had a great revelation: all those versions of herself that live inside her head are part of who she is as a person, they are her past and she cannot reject them but must learn from them and accept and forgive them.. Only then can he move on, and this time for real.
After this truly nightmarish day, ‘The Flight Attendant’ faces the final stretch of its season with a leap into the future. 30 days have passed since these events and Cassie has been sober for a month, continues with her job as a stewardess and collaborating with the CIA, and is even able to call on his mother (Sharon Stone) to start building solid bridges. After all the emotional journey that we have experienced this season, she gives the feeling that this time she is indeed on the right track.
In the last scene we see her attending the wedding of Annie and Max (Deniz Akdeniz), who have married in Las Vegas and now intend to create a private investigation agency. We can’t wait to see how they work together (now, professionally) in the next season. On the other hand, there is Megan (Rosie Pérez), who has finally stopped running because of her relations with the North Koreans and has managed to make a deal with the CIA: she has provided them with very valuable information about North Korea and, in exchange, she has been reunited with her family in a witness protection house. It seems that this is a new beginning for her too.
And Cassie? Well, there are many questions left to be answered.. Could she get back the beautiful relationship she had with Marco (Santiago Cabrera) now that she is sober again and no one is threatening her life? Will her mother ever forgive her? Will she continue to live in Los Angeles? What new adventures await her with the CIA now that she’s more than proven herself? She will have to wait to know all the answers.
