The Scar
Directed by Amanda Marsaus
Anna arrives at Bluff's Point and Crystal is nowhere to be seen. After nipping over to Max's lakehouse and drawing a blank from Robert and co, she decides to well and truly fall off the wagon at a bar, waking up on the Galilee with Crystal waiting.
For shiggles, Crystal's middle name is Delilah.
Crystal reveals the photos she took took of Max protects her from him. Max's mistress (called Amy by the way), committed suicide at his behest and manipulated murder confession.
Meanwhile, Max visits Tom in prison and warns a 'gift' waiting in his cell (a noose) for him to end it like his brother did years prior.
Of course, he doesn't.
Nevaeh takes a call from Max on her hidden cell phone, and we definitively learn from clumsy conversation that Max has been his accomplice all along, and part of Max's endgame is for daughter to kill Natalie so Anna can feel what it's like to lose a child.
At Amy's trailer, Anna finds a photo of a boy with a scar running down the side of his body, and deduces that he's Crystal's son, fathered by Max.
Zack's doctor tells Tom that son bypassed security and escaped. Noa bails Natalie out of prison, and because causal lover stole Nevaeh's phone, apparently neutralising threat.
Back on the boat, Anna holds Crystal at gunpoint and forces her to confess that she killed Melissa and 'Adam'.
Robert conveniently turns up and the creepy kid Luke is actually the boy from the photo. A text on Crystal's phone reveals that she's been in cahoots with Max from the off.
I'm honestly NOT stunned.
A family argument breaks out and Anna jumps overboard, as Max pulls up.
Assessment
What a total fucking mess.
Unlike build-up, threads are sewn up with zero suspense and revelations fall spectacularly flat.
The amount of players still involved worries me, but I'm primed for chaos and mayhem.
Who lives (and dies)?
Find out next week.
