Tell Me Your Secrets - Season 1 Episode 9

Emma makes sense of Kit's use of a question mark tattoo on women he would later go on to murder. Her flashback is of Amy Walker with a question mark tattoo. Pete suggests it was not a heart Kit was tattooing on Karen but a question mark and the needle slipped. They realise Kit meant to kill her and instead fell in love with her. Pete suggests memories formed in a traumatic state can only be recovered in a traumatic one. He suggests the trauma of witnessing Amy Walker's dead body has caused the memory blackout. Jay brings prescription drugs that Jess used to take and that he also found in Tina's room. Another disturbing link between the two girls. Emma receives a visit from Lisa, Pete's wife who accuses her of having an affair with Pete. Emma reassures her she's not and digs into Lisa background as a Saint Jerome House girl. Lisa reveals the true darkness is an exploitation ring, girls at the home are harvested for their eggs for fertility treatment led by Bodie Lord. The girls are made sterile often from the invasive procedures. Emma warns Rose about her father but has no idea of the reaction she sets off in Rose whose advances Emma rejects and who later reaches out to Mary's tipline on Karen Miller. Jake Barlow recognises John Tyler from a facial composite for a man wanted for a rape in Missouri. Mary calls John on the rape and he warns her not to do anything stupid – not now he's found Karen. Mary hates herself but stays silent. However Jake reports the rape and John goes dark on Mary. Emma has no idea that every text she sends to Tom is being read by John who pretends to reply as Tom and arranges to meet Emma. John invites himself back to her place where Emma discovers he has Tom's phone and her cat's missing collar. In her attempt to escape him, traumatic memories unlock and we see the entirety of the Minnesotan murder scene and that it was Theresa who was attempting to murder Karen in the snow, just before she gives birth.
