The brothers are in immense amounts of danger but they think they’re safe with friends. The missing issue is even featured in this episode. Humboldt is incredibly dangerous due to the cannabis industry, enhanced by the fact workers tend to be drifters that may not even be reported missing. The county has a terrible problem: people go missing and either never turn up, or turn up dead.

Now, any true crime buff like myself has seen Netflix’s Murder Mountain series, and if you haven’t, you absolutely must. It’s here that I get a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Sean and Cassidy are adorably flirtatious from the outset, gently brushing against each other and leaning into one another. The farm also employs a handful of others, including a couple from overseas. Cassidy and Finn invite the brothers to live and work with them at an illegal weed farm. Through the journal, we learn that Sean and Daniel bumped into the hippies from the Christmas Market. I love the slight mystery this creates, as Sean could be just about anywhere south of last episode.īut there’s good news: Sean and Daniel found friends. The watch he argued with Daniel about is tossed carelessly on the tent’s floor. We sneak up on Sean sleeping in a tent, clearly in a warmer climate due to his attire.

Beaver Creek is far away, both figuratively and literally. Sean and Daniel had to run from their grandparent’s home at the end of the last episode, jumping on a train to travel south. It’s a normal they will never have again, creating a pit in my stomach before we return to the present day. Their dad reacts like a normal parent would.

Sean and Daniel are arguing over normal brother things, in this case a watch. Wastelands begins three months prior to The Incident (as I’ve come to call it) with the police in Seattle.

Wolves have been the brothers’ spirit animal since the beginning, and it’s a lovely nod to their history.Ī quick warning before I proceed: there will be spoilers here, both from past episodes and the third one, Wastelands. Each one reflects on past events as though they happened to wolf brothers rather than human ones. But truth is, that was back in January, and so I always welcome the recaps at the beginning of each new episode. The wait between the second and third episodes of Life Is Strange 2 was a reasonable length it feels like I just finished the second episode, Rules.
