The Killing Kind Series 1 Episode 6 Recap

The episode opens with Ingrid Lewis (Emma Appleton) asking DS Luke Nash (Kerr Logan) if he is aware of Emma Seaton (Bethany Muir) being alive. Shaking his head, Nash assures her that the claim is ridiculous. She says the mastermind is Emma, not Jake Seaton (Charles Furness). He tells her that Emma would not do it if she were alive. Ingrid says Emma could manipulate Jake better than anyone else. He claims to have gone to Emma’s inquest and funeral. She reminds him of Emma’s body never being found. John Webster (Colin Morgan) asks if he is Emma’s savior. Nash demands he never speak Emma’s name. After Webster walks outside, Ingrid asks Nash to speak with Jake. He suggests the address listed on his electronic monitor will lead to Jake. Outside, she informs Webster of their plan to find Jake. Webster warns that Nash is not trustworthy before giving her a taser.

Nash and Ingrid find Jake at a local diner. Apologizing to Ingrid, Jack admits to feeling trapped. She asks if that is how he felt when he tried to mow her down in a vehicle. He accuses her of portraying Emma as the “biggest liar” in court. Before telling them that Emma is alive, Jake denies it was his idea. He claims to have met Emma underneath Waterloo Bridge. Ingrid convinces him to tell them who is behind the scheme. He says Craig’s brother, Michael Nevins reached out to Emma after her client who killed Craig was found not guilty. He tells her that Michael is destined to make her suffer. Nash urges him to tell DI Jill Winstanley (Sophie Stanton) everything. Jake says Emma knew he would never understand. Nash accuses him of destroying their lives before he runs out of the diner into oncoming traffic.

Jill scolds Nash for working the case while he is suspended. Nash urges her to find Emma. She orders him to leave. Ingrid requests protection for her and Webster.

Ingrid informs Webster of Emma faking her death. She apologizes for not believing him. He admits to being attracted to her free will. Later, she falls asleep while they watch a movie. The next morning, Webster admits to knowing Emma was damaged when they first met. Ingrid receives a call from Anne Orpen (Jacquetta May) about Mark Orpen’s (Elliot Barnes-Worrell) improved condition. He offers to accompany her to the hospital but she refuses.

At the hospital, Mark denies seeing his assailant. Ingrid tells him that Webster knew Jake and Emma met under CCTV-free Waterloo Bridge. He suggests she told him. She asks if he and Webster talked about Flora Pole when they were so-called squash friends. He says yes. After leaving the hospital, she visits Daniel Pole. She tells him that his claim about Mark inviting Flora to their house is true. He says Flora was watching TV with him and his wife when she received a text. While Ingrid searches Flora’s room, he claims Flora was dressed up when she left. Discovering a phone, she says Flora utilized it to message Mark. A text verifies “Marky” invited Flora to their house on the night she died. Ingrid assures Daniel that Mark would never refer to himself as “Marky.” She believes Webster sent the text.

Ingrid receives a call from Jill informing her of Michael’s arrest. Jill says an officer discovers her flat keys in his car and a Visa transaction for a red umbrella. She adds that Michael had Oliver Gough’s jewelry stored in his attic. She claims Michael denies any knowledge of the evidence. Ingrid suspects Emma and Webster are working together when someone attacks her from behind. Later, Ingrid wakes up groggy in a room. Emma demands a retrial that will be fair. Ingrid asks if it will be fair like she was to Judge Peter Stuart (Richard Dixon). Emma reads Stuart’s statements about her from the trial transcript. Ingrid asks if his statements warrant murder. Emma accuses her of twisting the trail to keep the jury from hearing what Webster did to her.

Three Years Earlier – Emma stands outside in a black dress, no shoes, or coat. Wrapping a coat around her shoulders, Webster tells her to return to the house. Emma says she did “challenges” to prove herself to him. She claims he waited until the neighbors were away. Back to the present, Emma says Webster asked her to get his initials tattooed on her arm after she filed a harassment claim against him.

She says her credentials are not unique before warning her that Angus Grey (Nicholas Rowe) will never approve of her. Back to the present, Emma admits to killing Belinda because she praised Ingrid. Ingrid informs her of Jake’s death. A distraught Emma forces her to call Webster. Ingrid calls Webster to set up a meeting place.

Emma forces Ingrid across the pier with a taser. Ingrid asks if she ever met Michael Nevins. Emma says they only texted. Ingrid asks when the last message from Michael came. Emma says an hour ago. Ingrid informs her that Michael was arrested at dawn. She says it was Weber when he calls Emma’s name. Ingrid accuses Webster of posing as Michael to convince Emma to fake her own death. She says he sent Flora the text, not Mark, so she would find them together. Emma charges him with the taser when he pushes her down. When she attacks him again, he pins her on the ground.
