We found out that the psychic is Ember's mum in episode 2 last night as Ember went round to see her and called her mum.

Yes, I know...

PrincessScarlett · 17/07/2024 08:46

And the retired police officer who was mates with Amy's dad was massively aggressive and defensive when Ember spoke to him so there must be something going on there.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 17/07/2024 09:04

I didn't realise there were 2 timelines running... they didn't make that very obvious at all. I really didn't like it...

I'm fed up of revolting, grooming underage girls 'thrillers'. There's nothing thrilling about it. I wish they'd put some of the money they spend on making this shit into actually stopping this shit happening!

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2024 09:13

Agree that instead of pumping money into dramas about grooming and abuse of young people , it should be used to try and stop it happening in the first place.
I didn't watch episode one that well and missed the end so wasn't sure how the dead husband of Embers could be involved, but he clearly is ( or that's a red herring, probably!)
Maybe embers mum has killed Riz to stop the truth coming out? Ember is having flash backs too.

The last 30 seconds of e1

While looking through dead husbands Mack stuff hannah finds a photo of Mack and girl

She asks who it is and mum ember releises it is Amy

We then work out Mack is same bloke who is seeing Amy

Tho I worked out amy was flashbacks due to her name and knowing she was dead 17yrs

Smug blondes !!

Def strange no one has mentioned Caitlin /kitty

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 17/07/2024 09:48

Thanks blonds !
Yes, the blond girl kitty / Caitlin , nobody has mentioned her at all yet.
Why didn't ember go back to see Riz instead of just phoning her?
Amy's dad and the retired policeman at the bowling club were both really horrible.
They were going to sell the big house , but clearly didn't in the end. How did they manage to stay there without any money ? Did they say the insurance paid out immediately after Amy was missing?

Sarvanga24 · 17/07/2024 09:55

I had to google when The Killers When We Were Young was released as thought it was far to modern to be 17 years old but no, I stand corrected, it was released in 2006.

@PrincessScarlett I did the same!

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2024 09:59

I forget that 'the Killers ' have been around forever too! Still touring.

It paid out eventually after they said they thought she was dead

But hasn't given up Hope obv but had to say she was dead to claim it

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2024 10:22

Hmm, so Amy's parents still managed to stay in the same house then despite his money woes.
Ember trying to sober up in front of her mum was funny , it's weird that we revert to being children again around our own parents!
She is questioning why her mum didn't stop her seeing an older man. It was different times back then, but it was also irresponsible of her not to say anything or warn her off him as she was so young. Maybe the mum realized it would be a waste of time ?

butterpuffed · 17/07/2024 15:26

Ember questioned Amy's dad about his hands and the mum said it was due to Japanese knotweed and it doesn't go away , so there's a connection .

I'm curious about Kitty as well as others , she's not even been mentioned .

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/07/2024 18:36

I know if costs thousands do get rid of it

Maybe they found it on the house he was trying to buy /sell

Ok seen e1

Sometimes I think I watch different stuff from others on tv threads 😂😂

I enjoyed this. Thought a good thriller /drama and look forward to e2 tonight

Why did so Many of you not like ?

I worked out two timelines due to the name of Amy

Tho it didn't seem like 17yrs ago

And if that predator malochy is the same one years ago he would be ancient now

So obv not him who got Miranda pregnant

And then the shock that mack her dead hubby was the man we had been seeing with Amy

Made the timelines even clearer esp as was 17yrs ago

But ember was obv preg 17yrs ago with her daughter so was Mack two timing her with Amy

And maybe once he knew ember was preg he killed amy

Or did she just vanish and isn't dead

Or died at the boat shed aka jetty hence name of show

I'm hope not for ember and hannah sake

But a very good twist

Ans yes died of cancer. Assume testicular cancer due to the fake balls on head band before race and obv t shirts

I enjoyed episode 1. It seemed fairly obvious it was 2 timelines as the 2 girls had no mobiles. And she was dating makckie who I assumed was sane as mackie (the husband)

Only thing unclear was how old he was when dating our police lady (who was 16)
Are they saying he was a serial peeve /rapist/killer now as well as then?
But current pregnant girl can't be his doing as been dead a year? And wouldn't "current source" reveal who he is if he has now died. You can't libel the dead!

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/07/2024 21:29

Think there are two paeds

Or lesst 2 men. Mack and the podcast man

Yes 😁

purpleme12 · 17/07/2024 21:56

Podcast man?

burnoutbabe · 17/07/2024 23:06

Just finished episode 2.
Was wondering if body in lake would be very blonde and therefore Caitlin.

But no!

So where is Caitlin. We don't have any ladies of right age to be her in current if she did her mate in /accidental death.
Not sure why embers mum would know of Amy and Mack? Her kid was a year older at school and she only knew Mack via her daughter. So no reason for her to know Amy before she died.

burnoutbabe · 17/07/2024 23:08

Oh and child life insurance is generally only £10k or so. To pay for a funeral. You can't insure them for tons unless they produce an income thus creating a financial loss when they die
