With the First Season relying on the source material for its storyline, this new season feels very much like the writers feeling their way with yet-unnamed new trouble related to Gabriel’s amnesia, his reason for showing up on Earth, and what he may have been carrying in the empty box.

After uncovering an underground badminton club and drug smuggling enterprise, Alex (Christian Kane) and Ernesto (Art Acuñ)  go in undercover as an unlikely team in the second episode of Almost Paradise‘s Second Season. Alex’s interest in the case comes from a local friend who was killed after discovering the drug smuggling and chose to try and blackmail his way out of his heavy debts. The episode is most memorable for Alex and Ernesto’s time on the courts, including Alex’s kill shot that embeds a shuttlecock into an opposing player’s leg, and Kai (Samantha Richelle) calling a late audible that ends up saving their lives and taking down the drug ring.
