Don’t go down to the woods
PERHAPS it’s the distracting, choppy fringe or maybe it’s the scary weirdo in the woods, but this has certainly been an odd series so far.
“That weirdo could be my dad,” exclaimed Matilda (Lydia Wilson), who has been on a mission to uncover the mystery of the missing girl Carys – who, in fact, may or may not be her.
And indeed, the cloaked, hooded fellow, who wanders the woods like a fairy-tale villain, makes a reappearance in tonight’s episode. He tries to offer Matilda an explanation for what she is experiencing.
But before that, it’s the morning after the night before, when she had a fight with her cello. Consumed with grief over news of Meredith’s death, Matilda smashed the poor instrument to pieces. With Meredith now gone, does this also mean Matilda’s only possible clue has died too?
Also, Matilda has woken up with a nasty mark around her neck. A mark that is very similar to the one her mother had when she died. The work of a supernatural presence perhaps? That’s not to mention that she keeps having blackouts and has no recollection of what happens.
This is all very confusing, although we are still hoping that we are meant to be confused.
You can expect lots of scary moments, gasps and jumps, and in this episode, some actual flying objects.
It’s like Harry Potter meets The X Files meets Broadchurch. We have no idea what’s going on, but we watch, we wait, we stay away from hot beverages, and hope it will all come together in the end.
