And as fascinating and poignant as that was, our perspective was necessarily limited to what Alma was experiencing.
And frankly: Its not always great.
Sam spends much of the episode playing catchup and poring through files about Jacobs past.
ButUndonemakes an interesting choice here: We see this entire scene from Sams perspective, not Almas.
And through his eyes, the exchange is … unsettling?
Maybe even a little cruel?
Meanwhile in a B plot that bringsUndoneback down to earth we spend a day with Almas mother, Camila.
As with Sam,Undonegives us several scenes that are specifically from Camilas perspective.
She notices that Becca flinches away from Reeds touch, and it bothers her.
Shes elated when Father Miguel asks her to light the Pascal candle at midnight mass on Easter.
And this puts audiences in a tricky place.
By this point, we know for a fact that Alma is right.
But the entire episode has been spent outside of her very unique headspace.
But the more human, subjective side of her arc still requires closer scrutiny.
And honestly: That sounds like a lot of mission creep.
But what if the truth is more complicated than that?
What if Almas power is real and Jacob is completely wrong about the conspiracy surrounding his death?
What if Almas power is realandshes a real human being with real flaws she still needs to address?
Would that be enough to help defuse Almas difficult relationship with her mother?
Because I dont have Almas ability, but God, my heart broke for Camila.

Sounds like the mustard bar at Becca and Reeds wedding is going to be extra grainy.
