What happened in the season 2 finale of The Wilds?

In episode 8, titled “Exodus,” the Dawn of Eve group — Fatin, Dot, Martha, Rachel, Shelby, Toni and Leah — end up meeting the control group, the Twilight of Adam — Kirin, Rafael, Josh, Ivan, Henry, Bo and Scotty.

By that point, Leah and Rafael had already been working together with help from one of the interrogators Dean Young.

Leah managed to contact the outside world to disclose information about Gretchen Klein’s experiment. Initially, it looked like Leah and the rest of the group were going to be rescued. However, as soon as Gretchen caught on, she had her team pack everything up and they fled, leaving both the Dawn of Eve group and the Twilight of Adam group behind — stranded again!

At the very end of the episode, Gretchen makes it clear that the experiment is still very much underway, even if they’ll be overseeing things from a distance. Moreover, Seth Novak will be acting as her inside man.

Seth was originally the mole of the Twilight of Adam group. However, his actions completely derailed the dynamic in the control group. Clearly, he’s trying to win back some points with Gretchen.

Unfortunately, it’s still unclear if Rachel’s sister, Nora Reid, will make her presence known to the group. After all, most of the Dawn of Eve group still thinks she’s dead following the staged shark attack.
