We start off the episode in both the past and the present as Clara performs some kind of cleansing ritual on Lennon’s body before we return to the here and now with Clara and Dylan. This flashback seems to present a new fact in that Lennon may have been deliberately running at the car driven by Allison.
Margot is still convinced that Dylan is involved in the killings and is trying to convince Allison when she receives a call from a female, and it is confirmed that it is her mother when Allison calls her back. When her mum makes it clear she wants nothing to do with her – remembering she thinks it’s Lennon she’s talking to – Allison sends a picture of the news article about ‘Allison’s’ death.
The locals have now formed a lynch mob, with Bruce and Lyla trying their best to keep them in check.
Allison lets Bruce know about everything, including the cave, which Bruce then tells Lyla, who finds Clara’s honey lair. Inside she finds Riley, clearly dead and covered in honey, but also finds Clara herself, dripping with the same liquid. So, all eyes are now definitely on Dylan, even though it is stated in a small bit of exposition that Clara suffocated herself with honey.
The man of the moment then turns up on Margot’s doorstep and is questioned by the pair, only for him to admit he was in the cave when Clara turned up, but that he escaped through a tunnel.
The locals hold a wake for all the people that have died and Margot announces to Allison and Dylan that she has to leave for a retreat and so we jump forward to three weeks later and Margot is back, refreshed, and Allison and Dylan are good friends. Considering the deaths that happened only 21 days earlier and impacted their lives so massively, they are incredibly carefree, even if the person they think is the killer is dead.
The three friends end up on the beach with Dylan and Allison jumping into the water, while Margot is ushered back to her car by one of her bodyguards. Dylan gives Allison a ride home, looking as sketchy as always as she goes indoors before he creeps around the house and comes into her bedroom via the window and they get down and dirty on her bed. Allison almost lets it slip that she isn’t Lennon but manages to rescue it just in time, although a game of deepest, darkest secret then makes her admit it, which understandably makes Dylan react very negatively.
Meanwhile, Margot is accosted at her home by a hooded figure who helps her exit the building via a closed glass window and Bruce arrives home to be met by his ex-wife.
We end the episode with Dylan rocking up to the police station and Margot saying something that makes Allison believe that she already knows who she really is after all.
It is a real surprise that the big twist that the other characters aren’t supposed to know about is revealed halfway through the penultimate episode, and you have to wonder what the fallout will be in the final episode.
Is Dylan really the killer who was getting revenge on everyone for the apparent death of his unrequited love? What ramifications will there be with Allison’s mum turning back up?
Hopefully, this series will give us the answers and not provide us with a needless cliffhanger, but with an ever-dwindling cast and a showdown of some proportion incoming, who is to say?
The pace has slowed down after Episode 6, but it surely will mean we get a payoff next week, but only time will tell how the secrets that everyone has will be resolved.
