SPOILER ALERT: HBO’s new rapture series The Leftovers ended its first season this past Sunday. Before the the renewed series returns for a second season, the finale’s director is opening up about the last episode.
Plot lines crossed in the Season 1 finale of The Leftovers. One of those was a dying Holy Wayne and Kevin Garvey meet up in a restroom. Now the episode’s director, Mimi Leder, is opening up to The Hollywood Reporter about the strange meeting:
“The scene with Wayne was quite beautiful and quite powerful, and we wanted to do it very simply. There was the coincidence of Holy Wayne being in that bathroom, having had a huge effect on Kevin's son's life, and granting Kevin the wish that ultimately comes true, perhaps, in the last moments of the show.”
She went on to explain her understanding of Kevin’s wish:
“What I told Justin was that he was wishing for a new beginning, a rebirth, to start over. In that moment, when Nora comes to the doorstep to leave the note and leave him and leave Mapleton, leave everything behind, she finds this baby. All she says is, "look what I found," and you can see that in the midst of all this anger, grief, uncertainty and loss, there's hope. There's the possibility of love, the possibility of a new family.”
