This article contains spoilers for episode 2 of The Stand.
In episode 2 of the new CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, “Pocket Savior,” we are introduced to Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo), a musician and drug addict who’s on the cusp of success when the Captain Trips superflu circles the globe and lays waste to 99% of the population.
We also meet Lloyd Henreid (Nat Wolff), a convicted murderer who does everything possible to stay alive behind bars until, alone, starving and losing his mind, he comes suddenly face to face with the Dark Man, Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard), who makes an offer that Lloyd can’t refuse.
Like the series premiere, “The End,” in which we met fellow major characters Stu Redman (James Marsden), Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young), Harold Lauder (Owen Teague) and Mother Abigail (Whoopi Goldberg), “Pocket Savior” doesn’t tell the story of Larry or the others in linear fashion.
