Fans were left with a lot of action and unanswered questions. The pace of this season was much faster than the first. The four main characters—Aneesha, Trevante, Caspar, and Mitsuki—had to deal with the alien threat more directly, and their stories were slowly intertwined.In the second-to-last episode, "Breakthrough," Mitsuki and Caspar talked to each other inside the alien hivemind, and Aneesha joined forces with Navy SEAL Trevante, who was in jail, at a secret military base.Aneesha's main goal was to get her daughter, Sarah, back from the army, which had captured her. At the same time, Trevante found clues about Caspar's strange sketches, which made it possible for them to meet again in the end.The finale, Old Friends, New Frontiers, had intense battles where Aneesha's son, Luke, used his telepathic powers to scare away aliens. At the same time, Caspar and Mitsuki put their mental health at risk by going into the hivemind to attack the aliens from the inside.A new portal that opened in Oklahoma became the center of attention, and only Trevante was able to get through it. As Caspar came to the end of his journey into the alien consciousness, his eyes briefly turned white like an alien, which hinted at possible infiltration or deception.After the cliffhanger, Mitsuki was unconscious, Trevante was deep inside the hivemind, and Caspar wasn't sure who he really supported. With a mix of cosmic mystery and emotional stakes, season 2 set the stage for a bigger, more important conflict in season 3.Invasion season 3: Plot synopsisA still from Invasion season 3 (Image via Apple TV+)The plot of Invasion season 3 is meant to bring together the show's previous broken-up stories into a single mission.
