![]() ![]() Some audience members might say it came out of nowhere, but how is that different than a massive hole that is a portal through time itself appearing in the middle of a Wyoming ranch? The question since episode one is, who is this mysterious stranger? How did she come to find the ranch, how does she have this connection to the land and the mysteries it holds, and how is she so able to so easily manipulate so many people who surround said mystery? The answer is simple: Autumn is the Abbotts’ granddaughter, Amy, evidently from the future. This was definitely the twist of the season. Even stranger though, Perry’s entrance into the void causes the massive hole to seal up, leaving a screaming Royal with no way to go after his son. Knowing that leaping into the void is not a death sentence, most audience members were likely just waiting to see where or when Perry ends up. Without a moment of hesitation, Perry leaps into void. He knows that when his father jumped in in the 1880’s, it brought Royal to a better place and time. Perry seems to accept the cosmic event that is happening only inches away from his very feet with some expectancy.Īfter the reveal, Perry seems to have a moment of clarity, and appears to know what the void wants. ![]() This leads to the aforementioned confession from Royal in regards to his origins, and while Perry seems aghast, he’s not entirely surprised by his father having traveled through time, especially considering Royal has just shown Perry the massive void only moments prior. With Royal being the expert in such manners, Perry can sense his father is hiding something. It’s not explicitly said if Royal was directly responsible for Rebecca going missing, but the implication is certainly that Royal suspects the void is likely the cause. While audiences don’t see the specifics of the conversation, we do know that she reveals something to Perry about Royal, which is enough for Perry to confront his father about Rebecca’s disappearance. Yet even if you’ve never seen the show, you knew that wasn’t the end, right? Perry conveniently has another little chat with Autumn (Imogen Poots), who in her typical way, convinces Perry that there is a grand plan. After a chat with Deputy Sheriff Joy (Tamara Podemski), Perry absolves the rest of the Abbott family in his confession, posts bail, and rejoins his family. Before the final episodes were released, all we knew is the police were on their way to Abbott ranch to pick up Perry. For the remainder of the season, the Abbott family has been trying to hide his crime, until Perry takes it upon himself to confess. He is trying to be the best dad he can to his daughter, Amy (Olive Ambercrombie) but Perry seems to have lost all hope, often sinking further and further into a bottle and his own depression.Things got even more complicated when one of the Tillerson boys, Trevor (Matt Lauria) mouths off about Rebecca, and a drunken Perry beats him to death. His wife, Rebecca, has been missing for quite some time. The Abbottss elder son has had a tough go of things. There, he fell in love with Cecilia (Lily Taylor), perpetuated the bloodline and eventually took over the ranch. It was established that Royal did not remember much of his childhood, that he apparently one day simply appeared on the Abbott Ranch, where he was taken in by his eventual in-laws as a surrogate son. Royal throughout the first season seemed to have an inherent knowledge of the void’s importance, but that wasn’t even the largest mystery when it came to the Abbott family patriarch. The mysterious massive hole in the Abbott land is the epicenter of the Western weirdness that permeates the show, and whether purposeful or accidental, the void and Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin) have a bond. Questions like… What is Royal’s connection with the Void? Yet while the series keeps piling on the questions, there were finally a few much needed answers as well. ![]() The premiere season spoonfed audiences a steady pace of the bizarre that built up more and more throughout the season, with the show’s final week arguably giving us the strangest two episodes. This article contains spoilers for Outer Range season 1.Įven showrunner Brian Watkins and his writing team couldn’t answer all the mysteries or twists and turns that they spawned in season 1 of Prime Video’s Outer Range. ![]()
