Since Nate slunk off to Shetland without a proper goodbye we’ve been convinced there was more to his exit than we were being told. At first we were sure he’d show up burned and battered having been an unexpected victim of the barn fire.
But no, it seemed he really had gone up to Shetland after all. Especially when his ex-wife Tracy said she’d had a message from him telling her not to contact her.
We had to admit, we were disappointed. It seemed like such a damp squib of an ending for Nate, who – let’s face it – arrived with a real BOOM when he seduced Moira and then announced he was Cain’s secret son.
Nate’s body discovered!
Of course, it was Amy who spotted Nate’s body in the icy lake. But though she managed to tell Matty she’d seen Nate, she then went and died, and now Matty’s not really in the best place to think about what his wife meant when she croaked out Nate’s name.
And that means we’re waiting impatiently for something else to happen!
The mystery revealed?
So though it’s really sad that he’s ended up in a watery grave, we’re delighted that his woeful ending was’t really the boring departure we thought it was.
We know Tracy will be devastated. And little Frankie doesn’t deserve to grow up without a dad. But we are HERE for the drama!
And now we’re counting the days until the mystery is revealed!
More puzzles!
Plus there are some added puzzles too. There was the strange hooded figure who watched the search and rescue team drag the limo out of the lake. Was that the killer, looking on to make sure his secret wasn’t discovered? It definitely looked that way. But who was it? We’re already suspicious about John Sugden so at first we thought it could be him, but now we’re not so sure. Could it be Caleb? Or Aaron (yes we’re just saying that because he wears his hood up a lot, but you never know!).
Whoever the killer is, we assume they’re the one who sent Frankie a birthday present to make it look like Nate is still alive and well and living it up hundreds of miles north. Intriguing!
Plus there’s the added clue of the flashforward we saw at new year, when a body wrapped in tarpaulin was dropped from a bridge. Was that Nate? Was the flashforward actually a flashback?! Or is there another corpse floating around just waiting to be discovered?
This is going to be huge when the body is finally discovered and we can’t wait for the drama!
