The opening of this episode delivers the promise of thriller that ends unrequited.
There was an odd scene with Kate and Michael that really didn't make any sense. Moreover, there's a sequence with Kate sculling by herself, which is the setup for the odd scene. And it all turns out to be a lot of something over nothing.
Michaela Coel offers some acting chops but who cares if Kate is crying? When she's not crying, she's biting someone's head off.
A lot of screen time is wasted and should have been used to flesh out the two sisters (or are they just acquaintances?) Bibi and Alice.
There IS a sense of cloak and dagger during this episode. But the lines are not clear cut. We have a sense there's a lot of backstabbing going on. However, without a firm central narrative and at least one character we can depend on and believe in, the would-be tension is nonexistent. Mysterious occurrences come across as performative plot points.
At this point, I'm genuinely confused about who is doing what. I'm aware that some terrible events have occurred. It appears that some characters are attempting to make amends for the past. There's also an apparent, yet unclear, tension among some of the characters. However, it all seems incoherent to me.
