Why are we even here? and what do you want from me? Evan talking to Detective Suby.

Evan Lewis is a main character in Final Destination 2 and is a survivor of the Route 23 highway pileup. He is a lottery winner and was deemed one of the luckiest people alive.

Evan is the first survivor of the Route 23 pileup to die.

Biography

Evan lived in an apartment in New York, with someone named Rick, and has two former lovers named Tawny and Nikki. Before the pile-up, Evan won the lottery which has caused him to become very arrogant and boastful.

Final Destination 2

Evan is interrogated at the police station.

Evan is driving in his new car when Kimberly has a premonition that there will be a pile-up on Route 23. She blocks traffic preventing them from getting on the freeway, and Evan gets out of his car to tell Kimberly to move but Officer Burke tells him to get back in his vehicle. Suddenly, the pile-up occurs as Kimberly predicted, killing 18 unlucky people.

Evan returns to his apartment.

Evan was later interrogated at a police station by Detective Suby in personal. Evan questioned why he is even interrogated. After the interrogation he went back home to his apartment.

Death

Evan walks into his apartment with a stack of newly purchased items and lays them down on the kitchen table. He opens his windows and throws out his old spaghetti. He then turns on the music, takes off his shirt and looks for something else to eat in his fridge. He puts some noodles in the microwave unaware that a fridge magnet has fallen inside, and pan fries mozzarella sticks. He then listens to his messages, to find it is filled with women who had known of his lottery win and wanted to hook up. At the same time, he puts on his new watch, and checks out his ring. His microwave begins to spark from the magnet, startling him, and his ring falls down the drain.

He reaches in to grab the ring, but his hand gets stuck because of his watch while the microwave continues to spark and the frying pan catches fire. He tries using a towel to put out the fire, but accidentally knocks the pan over, setting his whole apartment on fire. As the fire spreads, he manages to get his hand out of the hole and uses the fire extinguisher to try and put out the fire. When the extinguisher runs out, he runs for the windows. They shut on him and he is unable to open them, so he grabs a chair and smashes the window.

Evan tries to open the windows.

A fire escape ladder impales Evan's right eye, killing him.

The apartment explodes seconds after Evan escapes and he climbs down the metal stairs. He grabs onto an escape ladder, which gets stuck. He forces it down, and manages to land perfectly on the ground. After reiterating how lucky he is, Evan slips on the spaghetti he previously threw out the window. The ladder falls down, but stops inches before impaling Evan in the eye. Evan then sighs in relief before the ladder falls all the way, and impales him in the right eye.

After the accident, Evan's death is broadcast on the news, alarming the other survivors.

• It is stated in the DVD commentary that the reason the ladder stops for a few seconds, before continuing to fall killing Evan, was to fool viewers who would look away during the death scenes that it was safe to look back, as they would likely look away when the ladder fell the first time, and start watching again just as the ladder falls.
