The Missing: Season 2 Episode 1

Warning - This review contains some spoilers ⚠️ 

The Missing may have a new cast but one thing that hasn't changed is the twist and turns and a series of shocking events that series one provided us with.

After being abducted 11 years ago and returning to her family, something that just isn't quite right but what is it? The BBC had a hard job this time not only to keep the fans happy and the plot interesting, but to do what they did and more so in series one when a boy, Olly, went missing.

Three different time zones and 100 new plot twists was awaiting for The Missing fans.  From the year 2014 and jumping ahead to 'present day', Alice Webster certainly kept us guessing as to what actually happened.

So, as always we love nothing better than solving these mysteries before we actually find out what happened. So who abducted Alice? What happened to her, is there something she is hiding? Who is Sophie and where is she? But the part that caused shock to viewers is simply this: Why did so-called 'Alice' die only weeks after her return? and is she really Alice?

Alice died on December 22, 2014. We see her mum, dad and brother visit her gravestone in the present day. We don't know much about the 11 years that went by but we do know she saw the other missing girl, Sophie Giroux, who was also abducted around the same time as Alice. We are unsure if Alice gave birth but the doctors believe she either gave birth or was pregnant at some point during those 11 years, despite her denying it.

Julien Baptiste was once again on the case as always and never fails to put a smile on our faces with his brilliant detective skills. After finding out Baptiste has a Brain tumour, all we want is for him to be safe(did you shed a few tears too?). Later, Julien is searching through his case files and we find out he is investigating the other missing child case, Sophie. Was it me or did the yellow VW camper van have quite a resemblance to the one was saw during Alice's abduction? Hmmmm.....

The 'what just happened, I am so confused' moment landed on everyone's face when Baptiste said "I believe, that girl was not Alice Webster.” Since then, speculation has begun and theories flying around social media are hard to miss.

Alice may have had the same tattoo on her as she did before she went missing but perhaps she drew one for Sophie during captivity. Could Alice really be missing girl Sophie Giroux, if so, where is Alice and why is she claiming to be Alice?

We are also introduced to new character, Daniel, who is a soldier at the same Army camp as Alice's dad. We see him walk in with bags as he drops them to the ground before it cuts to him scrubbing the bloodstained floor. We then see him again but this time at his father's funeral after he was thought to have committed suicide. Has he got something to do with the abduction of the girls? Did you notice the date? December 14, 2014. Just over a week BEFORE Alice's death. Coincidence? I think not. 

If it was suicide, what make him do it and who's blood was on the floor as he wiped it away very suspiciously? 

Alice's father has quite a nasty burn on the side of his face and part of his back, but does not appear to have it in 2014. Are we to guess something bad will happen down the line? 

Yes, we may have a month of plot twists and never-ending theories but if it's anything like the last series it will all be worth it. Right?
