How will the story change in Perry’s new timeline?
After a jaunt to the past, Perry (Tom Pelphrey) returns to his correct timeline. But there’s a slight rewind that puts him at a crucial moment: just before the drunken fight in which he beat Trevor Tillerson (Matt Lauria) to death, as seen early in season one. In a surreal do-over, Perry watches the fight go the opposite way—and witnesses a version of himself die in that parking lot instead. As Trevor flees in terror after seeing double Perrys, “our” Perry scoops up his lookalike corpse and tosses it in the hole, which is exactly what Royal did with Trevor’s corpse in season one.
So, we have to wonder: will Perry’s dead body suddenly reappear on the Abbott ranch, like Trevor’s did? How will Trevor being alive change the course of things? How will Perry approach the events of his life that he’s already lived through, which is basically all of Outer Range season one? He’s now wiser in certain ways, but he’s still in the dark about his missing wife; her true colors aren’t revealed until later in season two. And he also jumped into the hole before Royal realized at the end of season one that Autumn is the grown-up version of Perry’s daughter Amy.
