Episode 2 of 4
Huw confronts Patrick in prison, demanding the truth about Jonathan Gower. Patrick calmly claims Jonathan was his first victim, killed before Patrick perfected his killing methods. A childhood teddy bear links Jonathan to Patrick’s repair shop, a detail confirmed by Natalie Gower, despite Jenny’s growing unease that Patrick is once again controlling the narrative.
Patrick intensifies his psychological assault on Huw and Margot when Jackie breaks into Margot’s flat, scratches out pictures of Sam, and steals Margot’s diary. Armed with Margot’s most private thoughts, Patrick weaponises her fears, forcing her to confront her buried resentment toward her father.
When Margot learns that Huw has secretly visited Patrick again, she explodes – convinced Huw is feeding Patrick’s power and even arranging for someone to stalk her. Huw, blind to the damage he’s causing, assures her he will close the Gower case and they can finally move on. But Sam sees the truth: Huw’s obsession with Patrick and influence on Margot is corrosive and endless.
Patrick then sends Huw and Jenny to what he claims is Jonathan’s burial site. Instead, they find a grotesque decoy – a mannequin buried with Alice’s necklace. Patrick has been playing them all along, just as he has been manipulating vulnerable inmate Ian after he caught Jackie and Patrick working together, coercing him into self-harm through fear and humiliation with Jackie’s help.
Jackie plants another seed of paranoia, telling Huw she despises Patrick so much she had to warn him that Patrick claims to be working with a corrupt police officer – hinting that even Jenny might be compromised. Patrick then makes his next move: in exchange for Huw agreeing to visit him monthly, he will lead police to Jonathan’s real grave in person. Jenny is adamant this cannot happen, convinced Patrick is engineering an escape. Huw knows the risks, but believes Natalie Gower deserves closure, no matter the cost.
Seeing the devastation Patrick is wreaking on Margot, Huw makes a fateful decision. When Patrick takes them out onto the moors to supposedly reveal Jonathan’s resting place, Huw will finally end it.
