"Impastor" season 2 finally premiered last week Wednesday, Sept. 28 on TV Land, continuing the story of Buddy Dobbs (Michael Rosenbaum) fooling a small town community as their allegedly gay alleged pastor; apparently, the show's writers love cliffhangers so much that they once again ended the premiere with another prospect that Buddy will be dead come "Impastor" season 2 episode 2.
If not for the fact that the season has only just begun, and that the show is also purely a comedy, the notion of Buddy dying in his confrontation with Damien (Colin Lawrence), as shown in TV Line's recap of the premiere, would not be so ridiculous. Even the "Impastor" season 2 episode 2 promotional trailer posted on the official TV Land YouTube channel went to lengths to strongly imply Buddy's probable death by not showing the character at all.
But this is "impastor" and God himself is apparently looking out for the stoner con man as Buddy has already survived a number of probable near-death experiences, meaning that Buddy will most definitely be alive come "Impastor" season 2 episode 2.
The trailer did present some interesting stories coming in "Impastor" season 2 episode 2. It seems that the show will quickly move on from Buddy dealing with the darker ghosts of his past as he might have actually ended up killing Damien in their confrontation and it also looks like detectives Lovello (Matthew Kevin Anderson) and Hyde (Johnathon Young) will believe, or rather fall for, Buddy's story of his being an FBI agent and cooperate in keeping his secret.
Speaking of Lovello and Hyde, Dora's (Sara Rue) interest in pursuing a romance with Lovello will continue in "impastor" season 2 episode 2 with Lovello now reciprocating. Curiously, the "impastor" season 2 premiere showed Lovello having no interest in Dora despite the former's penchant for Casanova-wannabe tendencies so the way their relationship will develop could produce hilarious results.
So is Buddy really dead? Most probably not. But will his secret stay kept and will Dora finally find love in Lovello? Viewers can only find out when "Impastor" Season 2 episode 2 "Guardian Angel" airs Wednesday, Oct. 5 10:30 p.m. ET on TV Land.
