‘La Brea’ Mystery Solved: How Did Eve Get Shearling Coat Back From Mine?

Prepare to sleep peacefully this weekend, as a result of TVLine has cracked the La Brea thriller that has brought on many a stressed evening.

If you might be not conversant in my intrepid chronicling of the comfy shearling coat that Eve Harris fairly shortly acquired in Season 1 after touchdown in 10,000 B.C. (tl;dr Natalie Zea was very chilly in Australia), the gist of the newest head-scratcher is that this:

In the fifth episode of Season 2, Eve, Gavin, Izzy and Sam KO’d some Exile guards contained in the mine, then became the goons’ medieval-y, hooded uniforms — seemingly leaving their go-to outerwear behind.

And but within the following episode, as Eve, Izzy and Sam watched an unconscious Gavin get dragged by Lazarus guards into the shiny tower, Eve casually reached all the way down to seize and slip again on her trademark shearling. And but, nobody — repeat, nobody — had had alternative to return to the mines and gather everybody’s discarded garb.

But as La Brea showrunner David Appelbaum confirmed for TVLine, that’s as a result of… nobody wanted to!

“That was something that we talked a lot about — how do we get back their clothing?” after Eve & Co. became the guards’ uniforms, Appelbaum mentioned.

The reply: Just have them carry it with them.

“You might notice that when they leave the Exile camp, they have a bag with them. That’s where all their clothing was,” Appelbaum defined. (See screenshot above.) As they then headed to Lazarus with a cart stuffed with black rock, “It was in the back of the wagon. And in Episode 6, when you had Levi and Scott watching the attack by the building, in our minds they had the bag with them at that point, so they could get the clothes later.”

The subsequent thriller to deal with: Why Eve wore the nice and cozy shearling while visiting Los Angeles circa 1988.
