The Leftovers season 1, episode 7 airs tonight on HBO. Tune in as the series begins to explore the story behind the eldest member of the Garvey family.
Tonight’s all new episode of The Leftovers welcomes Tommy back into the picture. Viewers learned a few weeks ago that Tommy is not Kevin’s biological son, but he was raised no differently than Jill. Not much has been mentioned of him, nor his mission with Holy Wayne in weeks past. This week promises to bring some answers.
Previously on ‘The Leftovers’
Nora Durst, legacy three times over, underwent an identity crisis while attending a conference in New York for people who work with Departed families. After a rousing night of drunkenly shedding her inhibitions and meeting people in some interesting lines of work, the Nora impostor causes her to be kicked out of the hotel and ultimately derails her panel.
Nora’s journey is far from over when she meets an author who believes it is time to start feeling less guilty about the Departed members of his family. His life-altering change towards the light, and away from the crippling darkness, arrives after a visit to a mysterious man and $1000 out of his bank account. Nora follows his path and unleashes her pain unto Holy Wayne.

This week on ‘The Leftovers’
The men of the Garvey family are taking the stage this week. Introduced briefly in the series, the eldest Garvey, former chief of the Mapleton police, is locked up in a psychiatric facility after suffering a meltdown following the Departure. Up until this point Kevin’s main concern has been to distance himself from his father’s breakdown. Meanwhile, Jill’s questions about her family begin to work their way out of her typically disinterested demeanor.
When viewers last saw Tommy, he and Christine were stopped by a tractor trailer that cast the reconstructed bodies of The Departed across a highway. The “people in white” as Christine referred to them, appeared to her in a dream.
Official Synopsis: After learning his father has escaped the psychiatric hospital, Kevin (Justin Theroux) orders an APB to track him down. Jill (Margaret Qualley) attempts to break an endurance record. Holed up in Indiana, a disillusioned Tom (Chris Zylka) makes an unsettling discovery.
Watch The Leftovers season 1, episode 7, “Solace for Tired Feet” tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET on HBO.
