Paradise season 2: Top five revelations after first three episodes from pregnancy to shock death and now so many questions
The Paradise world is expanding and there's danger around every corner
Paradise season 2 dropped on Disney+ with a jam-packed triple bill – throwing us straight back into the action and giving us brand new mysteries to solve. Plus a side quest to Elvis Presley’s Graceland to boot!
Each episode focused on different story strands that are sure to become entangled. In the first, Graceland, we meet Annie for the first time. A tour guide at The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s famous Tennessee house, she bunkered down there when the end-of-the-world disaster occurred. After all, who wouldn’t take that opportunity?
But when a group of survivors join her in the compound, her isolation gives way to something more romantic when she bonds with a man named Link (and now we’re rooting for them with all our hearts).
Next up we have Xavier. In episode two, Mayday, we discover his plane trip out of Paradise to find wife Teri went spectacularly off course. Instead, he crash-landed in Arkansas, completely busting up his leg in the process.
Finally, we return to Paradise to see the chaos that’s occurred in Xavier’s absence. With a completely inept Henry Baines now President, he seems more concerned with bringing back summer and rounding up ‘hoodlums’ that disagree with him than anything of actual value.
But as Sinatra wakes from her coma in hospital, it seems there’s someone else pulling strings.
Here’s a recap of what happened in the first three episodes of Paradise season 2 – and the major mysteries at play this season…
Where’s Link?
Link and Annie didn’t get off to the best start (with her spitting in his face and clonking him on the head for breaking into Graceland) but now they’re a love story for the ages.

But true love is never easy, is it? They only shared their feelings and slept together on their last night before he and his survivor group moved on. He asked her to go with them, but she got scared and refused. Their one night of passion left a lasting mark though – with Annie now VERY pregnant.
He’s promised to return to her though, once his mission is complete. He needs to get to Colorado, as his group have heard about the secret bunker keeping people alive (what we know as Paradise). But given the size of Annie’s belly, it’s been months with no word. Is he safe? Did he achieve what he needed to?
Either way, Link’s in for a shock if/when he does reunite with Annie.
When Annie finds Xavier in the forest and nurses him back to health, she takes matters into her own hands when he reveals he’s from the bunker, and threatens him at gunpoint to take her back to Colorado. But that’s the last place he wants to be right now. He needs to get to Atlanta, Georgia.
However, Link’s more tied into the creation of Paradise than even he probably knows. His mentor and business partner, Henry Miller, was offed by hitman Billy, hired by Sinatra in her efforts to secure his company.
Link, at the time going by his real name, saw Billy after it happened. No doubt leaving a scar, it seems he’s got his own revenge mission going on as well.
Who is Jane actually working for?
When we met Special Agent Jane in Paradise season 1, we thought she wouldn’t hurt a fly. Now, she’s murdered boyfriend Billy, shot Sinatra (the woman we all thought she was working for), and offed President Baines as well.
A serious master of manipulation, she’s even managed to easily pin each death on someone else too. She’s a terrible person, but you can’t deny she’s skilled at getting out of a jam.
But what exactly is Jane up to? And for who? Initially it seemed like Sinatra. But shooting her and saying she’ll “be useful” put a stop to that. Then it seemed like Baines, but her slicing his throat open seems to suggest no.
So there’s another player in the game yet to reveal themselves. Question is… who?
Who will be the next President?
Paradise does not have the best track record when it comes to keeping Presidents alive. After all, there have been two assassinations in the few years they’ve been in the bunker.
Make no mistake, President Baines was a terrible leader. He had no idea what he was doing, ignored professional opinions, and dispatched anyone in his sight who could threaten his power. There’s now a whole underground silo filled with prisoners who dared to retaliate. Among them is the architect of Paradise, and Jeremy Bradford – the late President Bradford’s son.
So we can’t deny seeing him die was a little bit satisfying. But then our beloved Nicole Robinson was framed for it, just as she figured out Jane was up to some shady dealing. Now Jane is arguably in an even more powerful position than she was before.
On top of that, there’s now no President again. Who will step up? And will they at least do a better job than Baines did?
What is Sinatra’s masterplan?
We’ll admit it – we can’t figure out Sinatra. Season 1 made us think she was a power-tripping billionaire, intent on keeping Paradise locked in so she could maintain control.
But after the first three eps of Paradise season 2? It seems she may genuinely want to save the world. She’s just not letting anyone in on the plan.
All we know is that she’s been gatekeeping some of Paradise’s power for a project no one seems to know anything about.
With her friendship with Gabriela in tatters, Sinatra didn’t crack under the pressure of her polygraph test about the power storage, outright denying it. Gabriela and Baines both knew she was lying, but Sinatra remains cool as a cucumber. Even in an interrogation after just coming out of hospital. She even managed to command Baines’ assassination at the same time without anyone knowing.
She’s since been putting her feet up on house arrest with her husband and kid after Baines didn’t get what he wanted. She’s even going by her real name, Samantha Redmond. A quiet life seems to suit her.
But Samantha Redmond is still not someone who kicks back and relaxes, and she’s got a plan.
Who on earth is Alex?
This is the big one. Someone named Alex is key to the whole of Paradise season 2. We just don’t know who that is, or what it is they’re doing.
On the one hand, Link’s group of survivors are on a mission to kill Alex – especially Geiger, an older survivor within the group. It’s a fundamental part of their plan. So much so, Link couldn’t stay at Graceland with Annie, and couldn’t wait for her when she got cold feet.
But on the other, Sinatra checks in on Alex’s safety at the end of episode three. Turns out her maid is also working for her in other ways, reporting to her on other plans she has lined up. One major part of this was Alex.
Unfortunately, Sinatra didn’t realise Gabriela bugged her office with a photo frame she gave “as a gift”. So now Gabriela knows about Alex too. Presumably, this mystery person is in the bunker, but that’s as much as we know.
So sooner or later, Alex is going to come out of the woodwork and, we have a feeling, will answer a lot of questions. Or bring about new ones!
