Before the show returns for Season 3, Oliver is back with a Season 2 special featuring unheard messages of love, loss, and heartbreak.

What if the one who got away isn't someone else but it's actually you? Oliver makes a mistake, loses his temper, and loses himself in the process.
How do we show up for catharsis? Oliver is left breathless by an incredible and cathartic call from a daughter to her father.
As humans, we're particularly skilled at worrying about the future. Oliver wonders if it's possible to harness that ability to predict new, better futures for ourselves.

After a break-up or death or loss, we're often expected to grieve and move on. Is that what's best though? Surrounded by objects from past lovers, Oliver wonders if perhaps it's better to not let go of love. Perhaps it's better to hold on tightly to those memories.
We’re all exhausted with 2020: the rise of fascism, a global pandemic, and cops rioting too. Listening to messages from across the world, Oliver uncovers a little inspiration from this week’s callers.

This episode of The One Who Got Away is about changing the future. Dwelling on the past and sifting through our regrets can sustain the ache of loss. Perhaps moving on starts with letting go. Letting go of our mistakes and letting go of the future we planned, leaving space for potential and possibility.
This episode of The One Who Got Away is about reaching out. There are times when the one who got away is not gone but just away. A plane journey away, a bus ride away, a phone call away, a microscopic infinity away. All it takes is one brave moment to reach out and change everything.
This episode of The One Who Got Away is about saying goodbye. Instead of just saying it, perhaps goodbye should always be heartfelt. Maybe every single goodbye should be a fond and sincere farewell, no matter how trivial the occasion.
This episode of The One Who Got Away is about the stories we tell. The stories we spin up as a relationship spins out of our hands. The stories we replay late at night as we remember old friends and lovers. The stories we quietly conjure up to imagine what could have been.
