Ep 2. No Crying in Baseball

"No Tomorrow" season 1 episode 2 titled "No Crying in Baseball" is a fast-paced continuation of the previous episode where the central character, a free-spirited and adventurous woman named Evie Covington, learns from her new friend, Xavier Holliday, that the world is about to end in eight months and twelve days due to an asteroid colliding with the earth. The episode starts with Evie's attempt to reveal the impending apocalypse to her best friend, Hank, who dismisses her concerns as the absurd musings of a crazy person. Meanwhile, Evie is busy trying to live out her bucket list, which involves achieving her career goals, conquering fears, and do as much as possible before the end.

The episode features a lot of interesting characters from Evie's life, including Timothy, her ex-boyfriend who shows up unexpectedly at her workplace, and Kareema, her sarcastic and blunt best friend. Kareema, who initially balked at the idea of the apocalypse, starts to come around to the idea that something big might indeed be happening after she experiences a minor earthquake.

With the new reality of the impending apocalypse, Evie decides to take more risks, including attempting to break the world record for stacking donuts on top of each other, which she believes would be a significant achievement. Meanwhile, Xavier convinces Evie to join him on his bucket list item, which is playing baseball, a sport he's never played before. Evie, who chooses to take on the sport as well, is given the opportunity to show off her unique skills, which includes speed, agility, and the ability to hit a ball out of the park.

While the two of them are indulging in their bucket list items, the two start to reach a better understanding of each other's approach to life. Xavier is more spontaneous, whereas Evie is more goal-oriented, and the two of them bring out the best in each other. However, things take a turn for the worse when Timothy shows up at Evie's place of work and accuses her of being crazy due to her talk about the apocalypse, which leads her to doubt her own sanity.

In the end, Evie realizes that it is not important what other people think of her. She decides to embrace her unique outlook on life and go after what she wants, including the realization that she might have feelings for Xavier. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Xavier reveals that he will need Evie's help with something significant in the future, and Evie admits that her feelings may not be strictly platonic.
