The Leftovers 3.6 FAQ
What’s it called?
“Certified.”
Who’s responsible?
Teleplay is credited to Patrick Somerville & Carly Wray.
What says HBO?
“Laurie Garvey (Amy Brenneman), a former therapist, must become one again as she heads to Australia to help Nora (Carrie Coon) and Kevin (Justin Theroux) along their paths.”
Does the episode open with a flashback?
Yes.
How does it start?
“I gave up. After the four miscarriages we tried IVF. Forty grand for three eggs.”
Does anyone “go through” this week?
No. But we do get a glimpse of the portal! I think. I think you can even see it in the promo. Maybe.
What’s doing with Jill and Laurie?
This episode is all about Laurie. Jill’s voice is heard telephonically in the final moments.
Is Nora’s doppleganger back?
No. Nora’s doppleganger does not appear in next week’s almost-last episode either.
Does the Reverend Matt Jamison keep his clothes on?
Yes.
The big news?
There are only a few hours left before the seventh anniversary of The Departure. Goodbyes are said.
What else is HBO not telling us?
We learn why that naked Frenchman fired those nukes. Drs. Eden & Bekker are back. Kevin Jr. doesn’t show up until the last 12 minutes.
What’s good?
Carrie Coon as Nora. The dog. The messy prologue. Amy Brennerman’s hair. “Tell me what to fucking do.” “Tell me what to do.” “That’s what makes it so cool.”
What’s not so good?
This is a pretty talky episode. I really wanted a closer look at that portal.
How does it end, spoiler boy?
“Miss? Now or never.”
9 p.m. Sunday. HBO.
