This week is the season finale and everything gets wrapped up on St. Germaine Island.  Kyle, Sara, and Soren are still trying to find a way off the island.  Julia is looking to find a way to keep Alan from completing his mission before he destroys any hope of saving the human race from genocide from Ilaria, and Amy has returned filled with vengeance.

Helix Brave World 02The Bad

  • Sara’s baby didn’t make it. Alan is immortal now and Sara is working for Ilaria!

This is the end of the second season.  Everything about this season is ridiculously crazy and full of wildly scientific and religious themes.  The theme to this season is great and I love the complexity of the characters.  The way that this season ended leaves the story of the CDC doctors open for more opportunities to entertain us in the future.  The very last scene gives us glimpse into the near future whether Dr. Sara Jordan is working for Ilaria at the pregnancy clinic and makes me wonder if Ilaria has won.  The story of St. Germain Island and the Abbey is done, but the battle between Ilaria and the CDC doctors are far from over.  I can’t wait until next season!
