Season 2 Episode 06:

Mirror Mirror

As BBA and the kids head west, an alarming news report forces them to speed up their plans. Jesse wrestles with lingering trauma from the shooting.


Tropes present in this episode include:

  • Drugs Are Bad: Jesse overdoses on BBA's uncle's painkillers. The others try to do the movements to revive him, but fail.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Betty alludes to the fact that she and her brother didn't have a good home life as kids, and the summers spent at their uncle's house were the only times they were really happy.
  • Foreshadowing: Jesse describes what he thinks heaven feels like to BBA's dying uncle, and the next morning BBA finds Jesse dead after a Fentanyl overdose.
  • Hidden Depths: Jesse meticulously researched every person and location mentioned in the OA's story and found the clinic on Treasure Island.
  • Important Haircut: Steve shaves off his hair after doing the movements all day but failing to save Jesse.
  • Magic Mirror: A subtle variation, but the mirror behind Dr. Rahim in the hotel room is certainly not behaving normally.
  • The Reveal: Dr. Rahim states that he'll help the remainder of the group get to Treasure Island because he was sent to help the OA.
  • Unusual Chapter Numbers: All the chapters in Part 2 have been shown on screen in the format Chapter Name Chapter [#]. This chapter is shown on screen as Mirror Mirror 6 without the "Chapter" in between.
