I reckon she is in care

Girliefriendlikesflowers · 07/03/2017 21:59

They are all crazy i reckon

Arcadia · 07/03/2017 21:59

Huh? If she is dead who was the girl in the office?

NoelHeadbands · 07/03/2017 21:59

I think you might be right Arcadia

Anticyclone · 07/03/2017 21:59

What did Paula say at the end? It was so quiet I missed it.

PrancingQueen · 07/03/2017 22:00

Thankyouverymuch Grin

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/03/2017 22:00

How did it finish??

SinisterBumFacedCat · 07/03/2017 22:00

Paula's eyes were very unsettling in that last scene!

NoelHeadbands · 07/03/2017 22:00

She said "you win"

RainbowJack · 07/03/2017 22:00

Ellens H's disloyalty is fucking me off.

MistyMinge · 07/03/2017 22:00

She said 'ok you win'

JenniferYellowHat1980 · 07/03/2017 22:00

I think she said 'alright, you asked'.

TinfoilHattie · 07/03/2017 22:00

Right. So who is Georgia and where the hell is Caris?? And who is the girl she brought to the office?

missyB1 · 07/03/2017 22:03

Can't bear Ellen's husband! Paula is definitely a freaky nut case and will try to destroy Ellen's whole life.

I also reckon Paula's daughter died or never existed at all.

BakeOffBiscuits · 07/03/2017 22:03

I think Paula's child died, the other child is her Step DD.

She got the last architect she worked at closed down for some reason and is doing the same to this architects.

I don't know how those two things are linked though!

NotEnoughTime · 07/03/2017 22:03

I think that's why this is called "The Replacement" ie Paula is not taking Ellen's job it's Ellen's life she's after!

BikeRunSki · 07/03/2017 22:06

Ah, you might be on to something there notenoughtime.

3catsandcounting · 07/03/2017 22:12

I missed a few minutes near the end; why did the two husbands leave Ellen and Paula alone in the house?

BabyHamster · 07/03/2017 22:17

Could Georgia be Caris' mum? Or is she too young for that?

TinfoilHattie · 07/03/2017 22:18

Maybe Georgia is Caris' mum? So she's never at the house because Paula and her husband only have her now and again?

TinfoilHattie · 07/03/2017 22:18

Great minds, BabyHamster.

CalmItKermitt · 07/03/2017 22:20

I love this. Vicky McClure is mesmerising.

Summerof85 · 07/03/2017 22:22

Have just finished watching. So many baby things annoyed me! Getting out of the house all made up and glamorous! Also Ellen's husband said she was out from 8am till midnight, no way could you do that if you were breastfeeding! Also agree about car seat and placement in cot Hmm
Agree with PP, thought before Caris is dead or somewhere else but not sure who the young girl is. Quite unrealistic in parts, I could hardly get dressed with a new baby.

MrsMuddlePluck · 07/03/2017 22:24

Wish they'd stop the 'next time...' thing! I had to leave the room going 'la la la la la' as I just don't want to know. I'm aiming for maximum anxiety next episode!

Summerof85 · 07/03/2017 22:24

Agree Vicjy Mclure is a brilliant actress. It's a bit Psycho Grin
