The finale begins with a flashback to the construction of Paradise. The project manager who oversees the crew, Trent, is a good guy with a big heart who bonds with the workers. When he discovers the excavation is digging up arsenic dust, he brings it to the attention of the architect, who promptly fires Trent.

The finale of "Paradise" season one reveals who killed President Cal, but three unresolved plots are ripe for exploration in a second season.
