What is happening in ‘Sugar’ Season 2?
Spoilers ahead for Season 2, Episode 6.
Season 2 follows Sugar as he investigates another disappearance in Los Angeles while continuing his personal search for his missing sister, Djen. His new case involves the disappearance of a boxer’s brother, but the investigation has gradually exposed a much larger criminal operation involving drugs, false death records and housing fraud.
Episode 6, titled “Cautionary Tale,” explored Sugar’s past and his growing fear that life on Earth has changed him. A flashback involving Peg Rosenthal showed the emotional damage caused when members of his alien community become too attached to human desires.
Meanwhile, Sugar obtained evidence connected to Operation: Fire Sale and confronted the increasingly unstable Deputy Vega. He stopped himself from killing Vega, although the episode’s final bar encounter made it clear that their conflict remains unresolved.
What to expect from Episode 7
Episode 7 will likely push Sugar and Vega toward a direct confrontation. Vega’s threat against Ji Moon gives Sugar another reason to act, while the evidence surrounding Operation: Fire Sale can expose everyone involved in the scheme.
The episode should also bring Sugar’s new investigation closer to a resolution before the finale. However, his search for Djen and his unfinished business with Henry remain part of the larger story that began in Season 1.
The first season ended after Sugar rescued Olivia Siegel and discovered that Henry, another member of his alien group, had information about Djen’s disappearance. Sugar chose to remain on Earth after the other Polyglots prepared to leave, setting up his continuing search in Season 2.
“Sugar” Season 2, Episode 7 streams July 31 on Apple TV. What do you think Sugar will do when he faces Vega again? Let us know in the comments.
