In the second installment of “In Bodies,” set in 2023, Hasan and her team embark on a quest to uncover the whereabouts of Elias Mannix, a foster child connected to a mysterious video hinting at unsettling revelations. The narrative takes an unexpected turn as Hasan confronts the seemingly indifferent Morley family, adoptive parents of Mannix, about his disappearance.
As Hasan digs deeper into Mannix’s unsettling video, where he cryptically utters, “Know You Are Loved,” the plot thickens. The subsequent discovery of CCTV footage contradicts the Morleys’ account of Mannix’s disappearance, leading Hasan to intensify her interrogation. A bizarre revelation from Mannix’s foster mother, culminating in a shocking act of self-mutilation, adds a surreal twist to the unfolding mystery.

The story then pivots to 1980, introducing Hillinghead, a detective instructed to distance himself from a puzzling case. Amidst burning evidence, an unexpected alliance with Henry Ashe hints at a covert investigation. Meanwhile, a flashback to 1941 reveals Whiteman’s sinister task, involving framing Lea Cozen for a murder orchestrated by a mysterious agency using the haunting phrase “Know You’re Loved.”
Fast-forwarding to 2053, the narrative shifts focus to Iris Maplewood, an investigator at KYAL (Know You Are Loved). As she navigates a complex web of events, including a bombing in 2023 and a peculiar case involving Professor Gabriel Defoe, it becomes apparent that Commander Elias Mannix, sought by Hasan in 2023, is intricately linked to the enigmatic KYAL organization.

Iris’s pursuit of truth leads her to a surprising encounter with Defoe, challenging assumptions about his identity and apparent demise.

Despite initial viewer disorientation caused by the four timelines in the first episode, “In Bodies, Episode 2” showcases high production values, notably exemplified by a breathtaking explosion sequence. However, the complexity introduced by the fourth timeline raises concerns about plot clarity, leaving audiences eager for resolution yet grappling with a labyrinthine narrative. The promise of a compelling destination looms, but the journey through the intricate web of timelines remains a challenging odyssey. To know what’s next, stay tuned!!
