Sam confronts her about this before she leaves for Mexico, but to no avail.
Alma is showing symptoms of schizophrenia. When she comes back to the present, Alma believes she needs to go to a specific place in Mexico, where her father will emerge alive and the timelines will merge.įrom the way Sam, Camila, and Becca see it, the answer is obvious.
In her last time slip into the past, she learns the truth about her father’s car accident - he was the one who purposefully swerved his own car off a cliff - and influences past events, so that instead of heading to his lab that night, her father continues to take her trick-or-treating. AmazonĪlma completes her mission in the final episode of Undone. Ambiguity works for the story itself, but in the end, the message Undone was ultimately after is left obscured. The ending at first softly suggests an outcome, without outright confirming it, then blurs it again. So is the time travel real or is it happening all in her head? The answer gets a little complicated. The show’s first episode reveals that Alma’s grandmother had schizophrenia, a history that Sam, along with Alma’s mother Camila and her sister Becca are very aware of. The point of view pivots from Alma to her boyfriend Sam, who doesn’t see her as a traveller of time and space but as a woman in recovery now transfixed on her dead father. The writers carefully tread between attributing Alma’s slipping sense of reality to super powers or as symptoms of her declining mental health. The first half of Amazon’s animated drama Undone finds Alma (Rosa Salazar) grappling with a newfound relationship with time, slipping between the past and the present, able to relive moments over and over.
