A brief recap of Invasion season 2

In the beginning of Invasion season 2, the alien invasion gets worse all over the world, and the main characters are spread out and dealing with the effects of the invasion in different ways. The season looks at the main characters' personal problems while keeping the tension high about the alien threat.

Aneesha Malik is desperately trying to get back to her daughter, Sarah, after the military takes her away. At the same time, Shamier Anderson's Trevante Cole works with the military to find the aliens' weak spots, but the government doesn't trust him and refuses to help him.

The story also follows Caspar (Billy Barratt) and Mitsuki (Shioli Kutsuna), who go into the alien hivemind to figure out its working mechanism. Their trip inside the alien brain is hard on their bodies and minds, but it's necessary to fight the invaders. Mitsuki and Caspar find out at a key moment that the only way to beat the aliens might be from inside their minds.

In the last episode, Aneesha's son Luke (Azhy Robertson) shows off his telepathic abilities, which temporarily give him control over the alien invaders. Along with other characters, this skill is very helpful as they work together to attack the aliens.

The finale, on the other hand, becomes more intense as Trevante and Caspar enter the alien hivemind and face a new, more dangerous alien presence. There are still a lot of unanswered questions at the end of season 2, so fans are looking forward to Invasion season 3.
