Alright, alright, let me tell you about this Stay Close thing, episode three, like they say. I watched it, you know, with my own two eyes, even though some of it didn’t make a lick of sense. But hey, that’s them city folks for ya, always doin’ things all complicated.
So, this episode, it starts off real nasty-like. These two, Barbie and Ken, yeah, like the dolls, but way more messed up. They go and kill this girl, Tawny. Poor thing, didn’t even see it comin’. They just up and whacked her, right there on her doorstep! Wrapped her up like a Christmas present, but a dead one, you see. Then they go and dump her somewhere, like she’s nothin’ but trash.
- Now, I gotta say, this Tawny girl, I thought she was gonna be a big deal. They made a fuss about her, you know? But nope, Barbie and Ken, they shut her up real quick. Waste of time, if you ask me.
- Then there’s this Megan girl. She’s got secrets, I tell ya, big ones. And this Harry fella, he’s tryin’ to help her out, settin’ up a meetin’ and all. What’s it all about? I ain’t quite sure yet, but it smells fishy, like a three-day-old fish market.
And that cop, Broome, he’s got his own problems. He’s takin’ a “leap” in his personal life, they say. Sounds fancy, but probably just means he’s messin’ things up, like men always do. Always makin’ a mess and then expectin’ the women to clean it up. Hmph!
Then there’s Ray. Poor fella can’t remember nothin’. The police are breathin’ down his neck, askin’ him all sorts of questions. He’s tryin’ to piece it all together, but his brain’s all scrambled, like eggs after you drop the carton. I feel bad for him, kinda. He seems lost, like a calf in a cornfield.
This whole thing, it’s filmed all over the place. Manchester, Blackpool, even some bridge called Silver Jubilee. They jump around more than a flea on a hot skillet. Makes it hard to keep track, but I guess they think it looks fancy. Me? I like things simple. A house is a house, a street is a street. No need to be showin’ off all the time.
They filmed in St. Helens, Morecambe, Formby too. All these places, I ain’t never been to none of ’em. Sounds like a lot of drivin’, and gas ain’t cheap these days, let me tell ya. These city folks, they got money to burn. Always runnin’ around, makin’ movies and whatnot.
Anyway, back to the story. This Barbie and Ken, they’re real creeps. They got this whole creepy vibe goin’ on. And they’re killin’ people left and right. I don’t get why. What’s the point? Seems like a waste of good energy to me. They should be out there workin’ in the fields, gettin’ some sunshine. That’d do ’em some good.
And Megan, she’s still hidin’ somethin’. I can feel it in my bones. She’s got that look, you know? Like a cat that swallowed a canary. And Harry, he’s in too deep, I reckon. He’s gonna get himself in trouble, mark my words.
And Broome? Well, he’s just tryin’ to figure it all out. He’s a cop, so that’s his job, I guess. But he’s got his own demons, you can see it in his eyes. He’s seen too much, that one. Too much sadness, too much death.
And Ray? He’s the biggest mystery of ’em all. He can’t remember, but he’s connected to it somehow. I just know it. He’s like the missing piece of the puzzle, but the puzzle’s all jumbled up and nobody knows where to put it.
So, that’s episode three for ya. A whole lotta killin’, a whole lotta secrets, and a whole lotta confusion. I’m still watchin’, though. Gotta see how it all ends. But I’ll tell ya what, it better be good. After all this runnin’ around and killin’, it better be worth it. Otherwise, I’m gonna be real mad. And you don’t wanna see me mad, trust me.
