This week, Todd Grimshaw is literally thrown into darkness; you don’t see Todd on screen, but you can “smell” danger from him throughout the episode.

Gary walks into Speed ​​Daal, pulls Christina and George aside, and drops a line that makes them both turn pale: he just heard a huge crash coming from Todd and Theo Silverton’s apartment.

With a couple on edge, a crash is never just something falling. Christina immediately tells George it’s time to call, and the scene jumps straight to the empty apartment: Todd’s phone rings but no one answers, only a picture of Todd and Theo smiling at each other lies next to a fallen Christmas tree.

A Christmas tree falling inside the house, and no one there—it creates a chilling feeling: something has just happened, and it’s not a small thing.

Spoilers also mention police intervention following an incident in the house, and specifically, a “breakthrough format” episode airing on December 15th, recounting Todd and Theo’s story from the perspective of hidden cameras, CCTV, and police bodycams—a true-crime style that leaves viewers both curious and uncomfortable because it feels so real.

This also bluntly states: Theo is no longer the slightly difficult boyfriend, but a controlling and increasingly violent type, separating Todd from his family and cutting off all escape routes. In the following days, spoiler sources suggest Todd has to clean up the mess in the apartment, trying to reassure himself that he’s still in control, but Bernie sees the scene and realizes something is wrong, telling George that things aren’t as simple as Todd described.
