Ep 7. Exile

Lodge 49 Season 2 Episode 7 "Exile" takes viewers on a wild ride under the California sun. Following the Lodge's recent gathering, it is clear that things have taken a bit of a turn for Liz, who is left feeling lost and adrift. It is clear that she has reached a crossroads in her life, as she seemingly doesn't know where to go from here.

As she tries to come to terms with her thoughts and emotions, she is masterfully sidetracked by a package from Mexico that eventually leads her to a restaurant in the middle of nowhere. There, she meets a man who shows her a world unlike any she had ever known. As she spends time in this seemingly magical place, she finds herself connecting with both the people she meets and the land itself.

Meanwhile, Dud seems to be relishing the simple joys in life. Finding meaning in the mundane tasks he once ignored, his newfound optimism and positivity are infectious. However, as he helps Ernie prepare for his big day, it becomes clear that even Dud cannot escape certain harsh realities.

Exile provides a jarring and cathartic experience for viewers. As the characters confront their fears and anxieties, they are reminded that, at the end of the day, it is our connections to one another that truly matter. As Liz and Dud weave in and out of each other's lives, they help one another to see the world in a different light. In the end, they realize that home can be found wherever we choose to make it.

As the episode draws to a close, viewers are left with a sense of hope tempered by the bittersweet knowledge that even the most beautiful experiences must eventually come to an end. Yet Lodge 49 gives us a new perspective on life's hardships; it is not the things we acquire or the places we go that define us, but rather the connections we make with the people around us.

With its well-developed characters, gorgeous settings, and thought-provoking themes, Lodge 49 is a show that never fails to delight viewers. Episode 7, Exile, is a standout work that will leave you feeling both uplifted and transformed.
