7.On Station Eleven, Mackenzie Davis delivered a career-defining performance in Episode 8, but in Episode 9 we learned that Jeevan was mauled by a wolf after retrieving Kirsten’s copy of Station Eleven, and when he recovers she's not in the cabin anymore.

Jeevan being told, "You got her here. She'll find someone. She's good at it. She found you"

So, Jeevan didn't willingly leave Kirsten, and I am 110% emotional over this show every single week. Also, Matilda Lawler as Young Kirsten deserves every award.

HBO Max
