If you like whodunit shows, you will love this one. I’m only on the first episode and ready to see what happens next.
This episode starts with a woman bleeding out on top of a car; and it’s raining. Then, it shows Anna running in the rain, coming into her house with muddy shoes and wet clothes on. She washes her hands and throws away a table full of mail. She then looks in her mouth and she seem to have a sour gum.
Anna goes to the dentist the next day and is told she has in infection. The dentist gives her an antibiotic. From there she goes into a building, which seems to be where she works because she has a badge. The badge does not scan her past security and has to get the guard to help her. Turns out, the guard says her badge had not worked in a over a year, so he reactivates it. Okay, what is going on here. And where has she been for a year.
Anna is walking up the stairs and comes across a woman who seems to be a coworker. They exchange a few words, and she continues up the stairs. Anna ends up in an office of a man that may be her boss. After their conversation, he is her boss, Jim, and she has been gone for over a year. Anna is a news anchor and is now back for her job. Jim tells her that they had to replace her with Lexy, who was the lady on the stairs. Anna is upset that Jim gave her job to Lexy. Jim says Anna just disappeared and he didn’t even know if she was coming back.
Anna hears about a story of a dead woman and now wants Jim to let her be a field reporter to cover it. There are no details out yet about the story and Jim is wondering why she is so interested. Jim gives her to chance to make a story out of it. Jim gives Anna this one chance and Anna takes it. Anna request Richard as her camera man. He just happens to be Lexy’s husband. Look at Anna being sneaky and trying to make Lexy jealous. Be careful, Anna. That may backfire on you.
Jack wakes up to a child bouncing on his bed. He plays with the child and then sends her downstairs for breakfast. Jack gets dressed and heads downstairs to help the child get some breakfast. He asks the woman in the kitchen if she had his phone charger because his phone was dead. The woman just grunts. Jack then promises the child he would take her to soccer practice later. Jack leaves the house and heads to work which happens to be the Sheriff’s office. When Jack pulls up, he is greeted by someone he gets into his car and tells him she’s been trying to call him about an anonymous call they received about a dead body.
Jack and the women, Priya, get to the crime scene to see who the person is. After reviewing the body, Jack tells everyone at the scene that the woman is someone they know, and to keep her identity private until he tells the husband. And Jack wants everyone to look for her phone.
Anna gets to the small town and goes straight to the crime scene. Jack tells Priya to let the reporters know to stay back. Priya is not getting anyone to listen to her, so Jack comes to help her out. Out of the blue, Anna yells at Jack “Is it true you know her.” Jack turns around and sees Anna and then walks away. Priya asks if he knows the woman and Jack just brushes it off.
Jack is waiting outside the hotel where Anna is having breakfast with her camera man, Richard. Jack then goes into the hotel later and ask what room Anna is in and goes to her door. Jack starts banging on the door but then hears noises coming from inside the room. It sounded like Anna is having sex. Jack bangs on the door again and then leaves.
Anna doesn’t answer at first but then realizes it may be Jack by the way the person was banging on the door. Anna opens the door and sees Jack walking down the stairs. Richard asks Anna if she knows who was knocking. Anna looks at Richard and says it’s Jack, her husband.
Anna gets dressed and heads to her car. Anna gets to a house that turns out to be where her mom, Alice, lives. Jack shows up and Alice lets him in. Jack begins cleaning up and asking Alice how she is doing. Anna interrupts him, ask why he is there. Anna and Jack exchange a few words. Anna gets the identity of the body and it turns out to be Anna’s old friend, Rachel. Jack informs Anna that no one knows who the woman is; that it’s not public knowledge. Out of the blue, Alice asks Jack when did he get there. Anna looks at Alice and says that Jack has been in the house awhile and that she was talking to him earlier. That’s when Anna assumes something is wrong with her mother. Jack takes Anna to the porch and tells her Alice may be getting dementia and that they found her walking down the highway naked. Anna does not want to believe him. When was the last time she saw her mother.
Anna goes into her old bedroom where Alice is adding fresh sheets to her bed. After Alice leaves, Anna goes into her closet and pulls out a box. The box contains an old video camera and some pictures of her friends, including Rachel. Anna reaches down in the box and pulls out a bracelet.
Jack goes to the morgue and Priya is there waiting on him. The coroner tells them that the stab wounds killed Rachel; she was stabbed 40 times. The coroner also states she found semen and that she had sex. The coroner then goes on to say she needs DNA samples from everyone at the crime scene. Jack tells her he will get the DNA sample to her later. Why won’t Jack give a DNA sample. After Jack and Priya leave, the coroner pulls a woven bracelet out of Rachel’s mouth.
Jack and Priya go to Rachel’s house to tell the husband that she is dead. There is no answer at the door, but you can see someone looking out the window.
Jack goes home where his living with his sister, Zoe. The little girl must be his niece. Jack looks at the counter and realized that he forgot to come take the little girl to soccer practice like he promised. Zoe sees Anna on tv and asks Jack if he knew she was back. Anna is doing a broadcast and made the announcement that the identity of the woman was Rachel. Jack is furious because he told Anna that was not public knowledge. Jack leaves the house.
Anna has a flashback. Anna sees Jack and Rachel in the backseat of his truck having sex. They show Anna’s face and it’s the same clothes she had on the beginning of the episode.
Now what is going on. Is Anna the killer. Or is Jack the killer This explains why Jack has been so jumpy about this investigation so far. This is a slow start, but it’s putting all the characters in place.
