Did you click that the guy driving Julien around is Ólafur Darri Ólafsson who played the wonderful cop in Trapped? I think lots of women including me quite fancy him

I hadn't watched season one cos of the comments here and the bits I saw via gogglebox.
Watched all 4 eps yesterday while travelling.

Goodish episode, but a bit soap opera in places.

I don't think we know much about Sophie's background (hasn't one prent died, the other elderly/unwell in France) but I suspect that her folks have long since given up looking for her as opposed
to Alice's parents who have been on her case the whole time. Therefore to get the heat off and stop people searching for the truth, it was necesssary for Alice to return. THe real one couldn't
because of the Stockholm syndrome/baby thing going on, so they got an "imposter" to do it ie the real Sophie?
I wonder what that English army press bloke has in mind for Alice who he has sent to Switzerland? It looks like he is setiing on keeping his daughter. It's a good job that Bertrand has got Mrs Webster on his side
and now the son as it doesn't look like he will last much longer but at the end, he clearly had that light bulb moment when he saw those papers that Mrs Webster got him.

Oh dear, yes. I guess he did not start out as a murderer but is now, which will not bode well for Alice. Lets just hope they get him sooner rather than later.
I also wonder what it is that the butchers wife, now revealed as ex army officer, knows. She clearly knows stuff yet she has walked away from her butcher husband
like she is convinced he is involved - can't understand why.

man, normally I'm on top of tv drama but this one is killing me: the German police/military police dynamic, ISIS, the butcher, the ladyboy prostitute, Mick Jagger, the 3 hours, way too much to not grasp.
Got to watch it all again or give up.

Alice Alice never returned. Sophie did? I'm confused now! I Don't think we've ever seen Alice Alice as an adult, other than the ride photo, right?! It was Sophie in Switzerland, wasn't it?
Not sure who they body was in the fire - it could have been Alice Alice (freshly murdered elsewhere) or A N Other random (or the other missing girl) and The Army (or even Driller Killer himself*) covered it up and falsed an ID of Alice.
*The fact that the Websters "know" that it was Alice that died in the fire - it was corroborated by more than The Driller Killer guy, right? Surely they wouldn't have the whole situation (and plot) resting on he alone falsifying the ID?

The show isn't over yet is it? With each week some things become clearer while others get murkier. Why do all the answers have to be immediate before the story has finished being told?

Thanks. I can't be the only one who needed instruction on how narrative arcs work in the western cultural tradition.
Someone asked a question; as you don't find it complicated I assumed you wouldn't mind punting your theory - we all have one, putting the pieces together is all part of the fun.

There is no certainty around the body in the shed yet. It could be Alice or it could be Lena. DNA results were either correct in identifying it as Alice, or faked to identify as Alice. We don't know yet.
Sophie pretended to be Alice because she needed the appendectomy.
This provided the opportunity to use the identity switch to 'put the body in the shed' to stop people looking for Alice any further.

Gerard Baptiste's wife is desperate for him to stop working on it and return to France for his operation. She is so desperate, that she doesn't return to France but stays back and finally closed the case. Either that, or driving home through Switzerland and she accidentally stumbles on Adam and the girls!
BTW. Great episode last night. Notice the padlock in Adams house? Adam killed Reid, because it was Reid who delivered the baby and knew a bit about what Adam was up to?

Just caught up with this weeks madness: Auntie Alice was so well behaved in the boot she got a toy
Not with you; yep, the appendectomy, but why did it help for Sophie to pretend to be Alice ..

Sophie is playing the long game. She went along with her captor's plan to gain his trust, and get herself some autonomy, and convincing him she is no longer captive...but a compliant partner in crime.
I am guessing she is trying to give herself a chance of making an escape with the kid, before the kid reaches press officer peado's taste range. I think she is stringing him along. She may even be planning to kill him off and then live off grid in the little cottage in the woods..

I don't buy Stockholm Syndrome as her reason for going along with it all....

Sophie knows Stone too and he knew she was Sophie when she identified the Butcher. It was unsaid, but his little tale of the frog and birds and her response were quite clear that they had had previous time together and that she knows about him and things from his past.
Still plenty to unfold yet.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement for British Army base life in Germany. I'd have thrown in an annoyingly chirpy, oversexed, currywurst fancier just to highlight the general po-faced misery.
The only exciting thing a long serving, suicidally glum British officer gets is a garden shed and the odd bunk up with a depressive Red Cap NCO. Another brightens his existence up paying for a bit of local trans action and nobody is remotely suspicious when the poor critter apparently blows his nut off. A promising young Major ends up a drink addled incompetent wreck married to a perverse Kraut butcher and even German dentistry isn't appreciated. Mind, when you reach the senior ranks and go guiltily gaga the altersheim looks nice. The highlight of the soldier's life seems to be sneaking of base in Iraq to assemble an interesting selection of STDs.
On the other hand a retired provincial French detective gets a nice country house with bee hives and even can afford a junkie daughter.
