Darren and I break down “Wherever You Go, There You Are,” the penultimate episode of Apple TV+’s Lucky, and talk about why it felt like some of the show’s strongest work—especially Timothy Olyphant’s extended backstory scene and the episode’s room-bound, conversation-heavy structure that sets up the finale. We focus on the parent-child themes mirrored between Lucky and her father John and Priscilla and her deceased son, including Lucky’s reveal that she turned John in, her desire for a stable life, and John’s emotional apology after confronting what he’s done. We discuss Rand’s hard-edged stance toward John, the increased spotlight and apparent death of Rand’s partner, and the mystery of the out-of-focus shooters. We also compare notes on Reacher season 4’s early episodes, recommend the Australian horror film Leviticus, and preview upcoming coverage of Lanterns and Reacher.
