But dont worry, the wait for answers wont be long.
It wont be 2 years, I promise!
Here’s what went down in the season 1 finale, including the identity of Bradford’s killer.
Warning: massive spoilers from the finale ahead!
Who killed President Cal Bradford?
The short answer is the librarian whose actual name is Trent (Ian Merrigan).
The finale begins with a flashback to the construction of Paradise.
Trent is sent to prison, conveniently in Colorado.
On the day of the apocalypse, a prison riot frees him and other inmates.
He shaves his head and takes the man’s clothing.
She turns out to be Maggie, the waitress at the diner.
There, he finds the mix CD that Cal made for his son, Jeremy (Charlie Evans).
It leads him to a biography of Frank Sinatra, which contains Cal’s handwritten notes.
But just as Xavier is perusing the notes, he’s knocked out by … the librarian aka Trent.
They catch up to him above the city, but he jumps to his death.
Enraged, Xavier pulls out a hidden gun and seems about to shoot her in the dead.
Instead, Jane appears and shoots Sinatra in the throat.
After reuniting with his kids, Xavier takes Cal’s notes and heads to the hangar.
He climbs into a small plane and pilots it through the opening doors.
“I’m coming, baby,” he vows, referring to his wife.
The sunlight real sunlight hits his face.
What’s next for ‘Paradise’ in season 2?
The big one is, of course, whether Xavier finds his wife and what her status is.
Clearly, she survived the apocalypse, but she’s almost certainly been changed by the experience.
And if / once Xavier finds her, will he bring her back to Paradise?
What about other survivors she may be with?
It’s unclear how many more people they can bring into Paradise without the entire bunker collapsing.
Oh, also, are we going to get that cashew cheese fries recipe?
