The Leftovers

In the season three premiere, Kevin Garvey has returned to his role as Chief of Police, three years after Miracle, Texas was overrun by the Guilty Remnant. Although he seems to have moved past the incredible events surrounding his “resurrection,” the Seventh Anniversary of the Sudden Departure is just two weeks away and many believe another apocalyptic event may come with it.

In her official capacity as fraud investigator for the Department of Sudden Departure (D.S.D.), Nora travels to St. Louis to investigate a possible scam that involves convincing the family members of The Departed that there’s a way to see their loved ones again.

With the clock ticking towards the anniversary of the Departure and emboldened by a vision that is either divine prophecy or utter insanity, Kevin Garvey, Sr. wanders the Australian Outback in an effort to save the world from apocalypse.

Kevin and Nora travel to Australia, where she continues to track down the masterminds of an elaborate con, while he catches a glimpse of an unexpected face from the past, forcing him to confront the traumatic events of three years earlier.

Convinced it’s Kevin’s destiny to be in Miracle for the coming seventh Anniversary of the Departure, Matt Jamison impulsively heads to Australia in an effort to bring Kevin home. Unfortunately, God gets in the way.

Former therapist Laurie Garvey must become one again as she heads to Australia to help Nora and Kevin along their paths.

On a mission of mercy, Kevin assumes an alternate identity.

In the series finale, nothing is answered, everything is answered, and then it ends.
