Episode 2: The Pupil

  • 4:44 — Dani goes downstairs to get Flora's doll from the laundry room. Nothing jumps out at her, but the doll is sitting in the centre of the room as if it had been propped up by someone.
  • The episode focuses heavily on Miles's time at boarding school, during which he falls out of a tall tree (13:10) after being warned several times not to climb any further, chokes one of his classmates (15:00), and kills a bird (19:55) in search of its "key." This behaviour could be explained by Flora's ominous "come home" note, which might have encouraged him to be sent home.
  • 32:20 — Miles pulls Dani aside to give her a bouquet of flowers he tore out of Jamie's garden as an apology for locking her in the closet the previous night. At the same time, he caresses her cheek and tucks a lock of hair behind her ear, speaking in a hushed voice that warns Dani something isn't right.
  • 37:23 — The ghost of a woman (possibly The Lady in the Lake) is standing in the doorway of a room while Dani is playing hide and seek with the children.
  • 39:48 — Upstairs, Flora stows away in the attic during hide and seek, where the Wheezing Woman (Perdita) appears behind her, gasping on the floor. Flora shushes her and moves on with the game.
  • 40:28 — Miles chokes Dani before running away to find a hiding spot.
  • 41:33 — Peter's face appears in the windows at the end of the game (42:53), alerting Dani that an intruder might be lurking on the grounds.
