Invasion season 2, episode 2 recap: Trevante Cole’s quest for answers
The episode opens with Trevante Cole, a character deeply affected by the war and haunted by unanswered questions. As he adjusts to post-invasion life, he grapples with the enigma of the aliens’ intentions.
Armed with Caspar’s mysterious book and his own extraordinary abilities, Trev is on a relentless mission to uncover the truth. One incident at his sister Shiona’s backyard party, serves as a stark reminder of his preoccupation.
When Shiona’s son, Jordan, accidentally falls into the pool and struggles to resurface, Trev’s instincts kick in. He saves Jordan’s life, but his reaction is uncharacteristically filled with anger, blaming Jordan for giving in to the aliens too easily.
Trev’s desperation leads him to an internet cafe, where he seeks updates on the world’s situation. His obsession with finding Caspar and unraveling the invasion’s mysteries grows.
Complicating matters further, Trev is reeling from his wife Learah’s departure, leaving him emotionally wounded. Shiona, on the other hand, has a different perspective on life post-invasion.
She believes in cherishing every moment with loved ones, knowing that the end may be near. This philosophical divide creates tension between Shiona and Trev, who remains determined to fight the alien threat.
In a pivotal moment, Trev stumbles upon a clue hidden within one of Caspar’s drawings, leading him to McCurtain County. Donning his military uniform, he infiltrates a military base by deceiving them with a false story from Camp Blending.
However, his ruse is eventually uncovered, and he finds himself imprisoned, separated from Caspar’s book and his quest for answers.

His description of the “red moon” and the toxic air caused by the alien spores triggers something within Jamila. She decides to leave her family behind and head to the hospital where Caspar was previously treated.
This decision does not go unnoticed by two police officers who warn her about the dangers of venturing alone. Unfazed, Jamila proceeds to the hospital, only to discover that Caspar has been transferred to Paris, as revealed in the first episode.
Determined to find him, she persuades Caspar’s friends, Alfie and Darwin, to accompany her on the journey. In a surprising twist, the trio encounters Monty’s father’s luxurious garage.
Initially, Monty and her sister Penny are hesitant to join them. However, Jamila’s heartfelt conversation with the siblings changes their minds.
