The psychological thriller “The Game” continues to tighten its grip on viewers this Tuesday at 9:00 PM GMT on Channel 5. Episode 2 picks up with Detective Huw Rees sinking deeper into his obsession with the Ripton Stalker, a case that has taken root in his psyche and threatens to consume him. Ignoring his partner Alice’s pleas to let it go, Huw’s fixation intensifies as he uncovers a strange link between Ruth and newcomer Patrick Harbottle – a ballerina statue. Alice reacts decisively when Huw lies to her about his investigation.
The return of Huw’s daughter Margot creates extra tension. Haunted by a past case he failed to solve, and triggered by a seemingly innocuous phrase uttered by Patrick, Huw risks everything, including his relationship with Alice, in his pursuit of the truth. Is he targeting the right man? Or is this psychological cat-and-mouse game leading him down a dangerous and potentially devastating path?
