After resetting the timeline in the last episode, we see the next year in the life of George (Paapa Essiedu). Although successful in bringing Sarah (Charly Clive) back to life, and hiding his actions by framing Shiv (Rudi Dharmalingam), the couple don’t manage to make it even a year together. Eventually breaking up, George is left alone again. We jump in and out of this year, never getting a reset only for new trouble to pop-up just after midnight in the new checkpoint with a problematic death in George’s apartment leading into the show’s season finale.

All-in on his plan to force the Lazarus Project to reboot time, the fifth and sixth episodes of The Lazarus Project deal  with George (Paapa Essiedu) getting his hands on the nuclear bomb and the aftermath. Securing and detonating the bomb becomes tricky when another terrorist group is in control hoping to steal the detonator from him. More trouble involves a broken down truck, getting shot in the middle of nowhere, and eventually having to detonate the bomb far from any major cities. While all this is going on, George begins the process of framing Shiv (Rudi Dharmalingam) for events.

While Shiv (Rudi Dharmalingam) begins to suspect what his coworker is up to, and trails him halfway around the world, George (Paapa Essiedu) goes all in on his plan to cause a world ending event which would force the Lazarus Project to reset time and bring Sarah (Charly Clive) back to life. We get cat-and-mouse play throughout the episode leading into a full on chase with George crossing another line both in killing Shiv. This is followed up quickly by his cold and calculated decision to lead another member of the Project to his death in order to hide all traces of his movements prior to a time reset (where he’ll have an entirely new set of problems to deal with).

George’s (Paapa Essiedu) road to betrayal begins here with an exploration of Janet (Vinette Robinson), the former member of the group who Archie (Anjli Mohindra) alluded to earlier in the season. Along with a present day meeting between George and Janet we also get flashbacks to her repeated year of hell and the births and loss of countless versions of the same child. While her motives in help George are somewhat circumspect, her pain is obviously real and the visceral lashing out of Rebrov (Tom Burke) at the world is easier to understand. The episode ends with George holding a detonator in his hands one-step closer to the end of the world and the resetting of time which will bring back Sarah (Charly Clive), but we’ve already seen some suspicion from the Lazarus Project on their newest recruit so will he get the chance to change the world, and, if so, can he actually go through with it?

While the interrogation of the prisoner captured in the last episode does weave into the end of the episode, “Episode 2” primarily deals with two separate storylines. The first is George (Paapa Essiedu) being rocked by events involving Sarah’s (Charly Clive) accident. The other, coincidentally taking place on the same night George and Sarah met, are the repeated attempts of Anjli Mohindra (Anjli Mohindra) and her former partner (Brian Gleeson) to stop the end of the world. This helps explain her attempts to ease George’s pain based on her own loss and provide some interesting insight in how many of the reset timelines in which George and Sarah didn’t get together, or even meet, at a party the same night the world ended.
