Mt. Washington – Local Natives
Kate’s suicide attempt toward the end of Episode 2, whether you saved her or not, is one of the most powerful moments in the entire series. Following Max’s difficult decision on who exactly she should pin the blame on, the camera flicks through some of the cast and how they’re reacting to the recent events. Needless to say, the music perfectly sums up the dramatic nature of the scenes that preceded.
It once again brought a cinematic feel to the whole scene and helps to emphasize the significance of the events, the characters, and exactly what they’re going through. Beginning with Max and Warren sitting on the steps as they watch the unscheduled eclipse happen right in front of their eyes, you get a sense that these characters are more than just avatars on your screen. They can care, love, and feel guilt. One particularly strong example of this was Victoria, realizing the detrimental effects her actions had on Kate as she sat on the edge of her bed and showing us that she’s not the heartless person we had her pinned to be.
