Spoilers ahead
As Rosie Jones (Emilia Fox) stepped onto the train, her suitcase, a reflection of her pregnancy struggles, gave way to an alarming surge of blood, painting the luggage compartment in a shocking shade of crimson. The authorities, baffled by such a grim discovery, were compelled to question Rosie about the lifeless bodies she had unintentionally revealed. With a steely composure, she disclosed that the corpses belonged to her unfaithful husband and his paramour—a revelation that landed her in a psychiatric facility, deemed unfit to face trial due to diminished responsibility.
