As the episode begins, Barry and Claire (Suranne Jones) continue listening to the phone call from Jody. Claire is positive that it is Jody calling for help. The detective gives Claire several possible streets where the call could have been made. Barry (Barry Ward) is also told that the reward has been causing the police trouble. Claire believes that the abductor has been hitting Jody. Meanwhile, Nelly (Lennie James) wakes up alongside Zita. He cares for her kid. He is scolded for giving the kid the wrong milk. He tells Zita (Camilla Beeput) that he is going to get into that club. Then, he continues on his search for Jody.

Nelly visits Melon and asks him about the club. Melon (Stephen Graham) insists that he knows nothing about it or Richard. Claire notices the taxi outside of her house. Barry pretends that it is nothing. Claire leaves and visits Stace’s pub. She tells Nelly about Jody’s call and asks him if he knows anyone in the area. Nelly explains that he knows nobody in that area. Nelly visits Teens (Kerry Godliman). He gets her leftover makeup and perfume. That gives him an excuse to visit the area in question.

Claire cleans up the memorial. She notices Dylan filming her. She forces Dylan to show her the videos. She notices one of the same taxi outside of her home. This makes her suspicious of Barry. Nelly begins surveying the streets that Claire told him about. Melon gets a visit from the detective. She asks him why he had TOR on his computer. Bernie (Alice Feetham) becomes suspicious of Melon. Nelly finds a suspicious house. The detectives are onto it as well. Later that night, Claire asks Barry about the taxi.

He admits that he tried selling drugs at the club, but lost a lot. Now, he owes about 100 grands. BJ enters and claims that Jody is dead. He insists that Barry put up the reward to give himself time to pay off his debts. Claire becomes angry and leaves. She visits the pub again. This time, she decided to team up with Nelly and inspect the suspicious house. During this time, BJ steals Claire’s expensive necklace. Bernie forces Melon to show her what he has been watching on his computer. He promises that he has been trying to find Jody.

He shows her the pornography. Nelly and Claire break into the house. They find Jody’s coat. It is covered in blood. They put it back and alert the authorities. Stace lets Claire sleep at her place. Nelly sleeps in Teens’s car. Goz (Thomas Coombes) gives the youngsters from dope. Then, Gavin (Ragevan Vasan) gets into an argument with Luke (Alexander Arnold) about Jody’s missing poster. In the morning, Nelly finds Bernie. She pleads with him to help her stop Melon from looking for Jody online. Nelly agrees to do so. He visits Melon and watches the videos as well. BJ gives Barry the money he got by selling Claire’s necklace. Barry tells him to return it and get the necklace back. BJ refuses.

Nelly thanks Melon for his help. Then, he watches the videos late into the night. Claire drinks with Teens. Nelly finds a video of the house in question. It features a different girl. He tells Melon that he needs one last favor. He wants Melon to help him get into Richard’s club. Melon doesn’t seem eager to help, but he has no choice. They drive towards the club as the episode comes to an end.

 

Save Me Review

Save Me has been excellent from start to finish. This episode was no different. There are so many twists and turns that it is downright crazy. I never imagined that Melon was potentially trying to help by scouring out those filthy websites. It was also fun to see Claire and Nelly work together to find Jody’s coat. Sure, it was a little too convenient, but it was fun nevertheless.

Now, there are only two episodes left. I can’t wait to see how things play out. This episode was great. It scores a solid 8.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Save Me now!
