Contains spoilers for 'Constellation' on Apple TV
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN: The latest episode of 'Constellation' on Apple TV+ has left viewers puzzled with its mind-boggling twists in Episode 7. The show had previously introduced the idea of dual realities, and now, Jo Ericsson (Noomi Rapace) finds herself caught in the wrong one.
Despite sensing inconsistencies in her surroundings, Jo struggled to piece together the puzzle until the recent episode, where she unravels the mysterious phenomena and embarks on a journey to chase her true reality.
Jo Ericsson sees two Alice(s) at the same time in 'Constellation'
Jo and Alice (Davina Coleman and Rosie Coleman) listen to the tape recordings from the day of the accident. Alice admits that she isn't the person speaking on the tapes, revealing that she doesn't speak Swedish.
She also reveals that Jo informed her about the CAL experiment, a revelation that surprises Jo, as she claims she was unaware of it until her return to Earth.
On the tape, Paul Lancaster's (William Catlett) voice is heard discussing Jo's severe injuries and seeking advice on how to handle her body. This revelation prompts Jo to realize that she is in the wrong reality.
Later, Jo hears her real daughter's voice calling out to her in the snow. Following the sound, she locates her daughter and brings her back to the cabin, where she places her in the bathtub.
In a bizarre moment, Jo sees two versions of Alice simultaneously—one in the tub and the other asleep in her bed. However, when the second Alice awakens, Jo discovers that her actual daughter, who was in the bathtub, has vanished from her sight.

As Jo chases her actual reality, she stumbles upon the other Alice hidden in a cupboard, secretly communicating with the original Alice through a tape recorder.
Alice explains to Jo that she can only communicate with her real daughter, who speaks Swedish, through her. Jo also catches a glimpse of her real daughter through a mirror.
The Swedish-speaking Alice urges Jo to return home, but Jo admits she doesn't know how to. Their conversation is interrupted when the cabin catches fire, causing Alice to lose consciousness from smoke inhalation.
Jo rescues her and carries her outside, but she bravely returns to the burning cabin in hopes of finding her real Alice, only to come up empty-handed.
While outside in the snow, Jo attempts to revive Alice. During this moment, she briefly catches sight of her original daughter. However, prioritizing the urgent need to attend to the other Alice, she lets her go.
Magnus Taylor (James D'Arcy) arrives and takes Alice away. In both realities, Alice ends up with Magnus.
Now that Jo and Alice understand the concept of dual realities and have unraveled the truth about Jo's situation, viewers eagerly anticipate whether Jo will finally reunite with her actual reality in the season finale.
'Constellation' will conclude in Episode 8, scheduled to release on Wednesday, March 27.
