Marina has her own kill list, like Rhiannon
The episode’s opening sequence suggests that Marina and Rhiannon think alike
Although both of Rhiannon’s victims so far have been relatively strange, Sweet pea episode 1 revealed that she had a kill list, and the series has just confirmed that Marina does too. The idea of ​​an innocent woman like Rhiannon having a list of people she wants dead might seem ironic at first, but now that she’s started murdering people, it’s suddenly a much bigger deal. Therefore, episode 4 revealing that Marina has her own list could be significant, as there is every chance that she will follow a similar trajectory to the protagonist.
Currently, Marina’s goal is to catch the killer, as she hates anyone who thinks they can get away with taking another person’s life; however, it’s not out of the question that she ends up going down her own dark path. Rhiannon noticed that Marina felt invisible in her work, and since the two share some similar characteristics, it seems like Marina’s kill list could be a big detail in the series finale.

Rhiannon kept Julia in the garage after failing to kill her
The protagonist still hasn’t fully figured out what to do with Julia
The fallout from Rhiannon’s failed death on Julia was one of the biggest questions to come up Sweet peaEpisode four, and the show didn’t waste much time in answering it. With Julia incapacitated at the end of episode 3, the final scene revealed that she was still alive, albeit still at Rhiannon’s mercy. Instead of ending her, episode 4 confirmed that the protagonist tied Julia to her garage and is holding her hostage.
While we didn’t get to see if there was more fighting after the end of episode 3, knowing that Rhiannon was panicking seems like an important detail. Despite how much she hates Julia, she finds herself unable to kill her, both while she lies lifeless on the floor and while she is restrained. It’s possible that Rhiannon could still end up killing her bully before the season ends, especially since Julia knows the protagonist’s dark secrets, but her decision to tie Julia alongside her inability to murder her former bully could become crucial in the final two episodes. .

Julia refused to take responsibility for Rhiannon’s bullying
Julia saw bullying at school as happy fun
Even with her fate in Rhiannon’s hands, Julia was unable to take responsibility for the destruction of Rhiannon’s life. With the protagonist once again venting her frustrations about how Julia’s constant bullying made her feel worthless and invisible, the real estate agent continued to deflect and blame Rhiannon. She described her actions in high school as harmless fun and blamed Rhiannon’s descent into madness on her simply being weird, proving that she was still unable to face the consequences of her actions.
While Rhiannon’s attempt at revenge certainly crossed several lines, the fact that she was willing to go to extreme lengths to show how much Julia hurt her makes the supporting character’s lack of responsibility all the more superficial. Given how vain and selfish she was depicted throughout the series, it almost seemed like Julia would tell Rhiannon everything she wanted to hear in order to escape. However, the pair’s interaction at the end of the episode explains more of Julia’s actions, as she opens up about her own trauma.
She made sure to cover her tracks after kidnapping Julia
Rhiannon becoming a killer in Sweet pea It was completely unplanned, meaning his murders were hardly executed with subtlety or finesse. Despite this, she’s managed to get away with both of them so far, and with the protagonist learning more about how to get away with her violence, episode 4 showed her trying to cover her tracks. After seducing Craig at his workplace, Rhiannon kicks him out of her own office and locks the door, giving him the chance to steal the USB stick with CCTV evidence.
Given that she was the last person to see Julia before her disappearance, getting rid of the evidence was vital, meaning she needed to access the footage from Craig’s garage from the night before. Simply asking Craig if he could show her the CCTV tapes would have seemed suspicious, so instead she accepted his change in personality by taking control and finding a reason to be alone in his office. With the investigation starting to point to Rhiannon, episode 4 revealing that she removed this footage could be huge for her chances of evading the police, at least for a little while longer.
The protagonist promised an interesting story if given a chance
With Rhiannon experiencing her first experience as a reporter in Sweet pea In episode 2, the protagonist once again reiterated her desire for promotion, but this time she was more demanding. Although she shyly asked about being given the opportunity in episode 1 and was quickly rebuffed, episode 4 highlighted that she was much more confident this time around. Entering Norman’s office, she immediately mentioned that she had another big story, but stated that she would only reveal it if she had the chance to be a junior reporter.
Having played an important role in obtaining information for the Gazette’s article on the first murder, she is clearly a valuable asset to the company. Although Jeff was against the idea, Norman chose to give him a chance and allowed Rhiannon to continue with her new missing person story. So Rhiannon once again using her criminal behavior to further her professional career is another big moment in Sweet peaand episode 4 highlighted that it didn’t stop there.

AJ revealed that the man Rhiannon killed was an exploitative landlord
Shortly after getting the promotion, Rhiannon was congratulated by AJ, who also spoke about the second homicide victim. Just like the first, AJ revealed that the man Rhiannon killed was a bad person, claiming he was an exploitative landlord who took advantage of immigrants and kicked out a single mother and her newborn. He was also cramming 18 people into two-bedroom apartments, confirming that he was happy to treat people badly as long as he made a profit.
Rhiannon already knew he was no angel, having monitored the man’s behavior at the hospital and at a local bar. Seeing how rude he was to innocent team members was reason enough for Rhiannon to go in for the kill, but hearing about his sins only made her feel more justified. AJ even suggested that the killer could be a Robin Hood-type figure, and Rhiannon now knowing that both victims were flawed only makes the protagonist feel better about her actions, meaning this little interaction could be motive enough for Rhiannon to attack again. .

Rhiannon used Julia’s kidnapping as a way to advance her career
Having taken advantage of Julia’s disappearance to get a promotion, Rhiannon continued to take advantage of her bully’s missing status by interviewing his friends and partner. Despite knowing exactly where Julia was, Rhiannon met with her bully’s friends – who were also part of her torment at school – and they confirmed that Julia had not been in contact with them. Additionally, the protagonist also met with Julia’s partner Marcus, who seemed concerned that Julia hadn’t come home but was happy to answer all of Rhiannon’s questions.
While this may not seem like a huge reveal, Rhiannon used all of Julia’s loved ones to write her first story, despite being the one who kidnapped her.

Craig interrupted Rhiannon and AJ’s quiz night
The awkward interaction created some tension between Rhiannon and AJ
Although AJ never openly expressed any romantic feelings for Rhiannon, his sweet attitude towards her strongly indicated that there was some kind of connection. As a result, AJ inviting Rhiannon to a pub quiz seemed like a big deal, but Craig’s unexpected interruption made things incredibly awkward. Although Craig and Rhiannon are not officially dating, Craig has made it very clear that the two have hooked up on several occasions, seemingly in an attempt to belittle AJ and squash any interest he had in Rhiannon.
Seeing this side of Craig makes it clear that he has some flaws and is not the innocent person he portrays throughout the series. The uncomfortable interaction caused AJ to leave and as Rhiannon pursues him to try and explain things, it becomes clear that there is now slight tension between the co-workers.

Until then, the protagonist believed that Julia had an impeccable life, but hearing all about her problems at home put a smile on her face.
