The Woman In The Wall Plot
Lorna Brady (played by Ruth Wilson) lives in a fictional town, Kilkinure, and finds a mysterious corpse at her home. She might have put the corpse in the house, but it is not yet confirmed.
The incident is related to the murdered priest involved in unknown laundries. Detective Colman Akande (played by Daryl McCormack) comes from Dublin to the fictional town to solve the case. The first two episodes of The Woman In The Plot have already aired.
According to the first episode, Lorna Brady finds the corpse of an unknown lady at her residence. Thus, she gets scared of getting arrested for having a corpse at home. After thinking a lot, Lorna realizes she can discover the corpse’s identity at the town’s Magdalene Laundry.
Lorna wishes to learn about her missing child while finding the corpse’s identity at the laundry, though she is scared of her own sleepwalking. On the other hand, a local priest gets killed in Dublin, and the case gets assigned to Detective Colman Akande, who travels to Kilkinure to solve it. It establishes a reason for the detective and Lorna getting involved in each others’ lives.
According to the second episode, Lorna gets the corpse’s phone and finds that the dead lady is Aoife Cassidy. Lorna communicates with a mysterious person named Dara O’Halloran using Aoife’s phone and asks him to meet her.
On the other hand, the police watch a CCTV footage and find someone driving Father Percy’s car. The driver turns out to be Dara O’Halloran. Lorna destroys the shop’s computer hard drive to prevent the police from getting the footage.
Police arrest Dara, and he agrees to be Father Percy’s murderer to protect his wife from the police. He knows his wife met Father Percy before his murder. Akande joins Aidan and meets Sister Eileen to learn more about Father’s murder. Sister Eileen serves in the highest position in the convent. However, not much is revealed in the second episode.
Akande gets a panic attack while returning from a visit to Sister Eileen. On the other hand, Lorna decides to meet Clemence, one of the survivors of the laundry present in the group meeting, the next day. However, Clemence mysteriously is found dead at the end of the episode, and the credits roll.
