Just when you thought Shetland’s waters couldn’t get any murkier, along comes the fourth episode of this ninth series to churn up a fresh batch of secrets and disappearances. This week, the team finally uncover the truth about that ominous facility – and, surprise, it’s not good. Let’s just say it involves enough shady dealings to make even the most hardened islander raise an eyebrow. But before anyone can celebrate a case closed, a new problem surfaces: Astrid Jakobson has vanished.
Now, a missing person case on top of an already complicated investigation? That’s classic Shetland for you. The team is stretched thin, trying to connect the dots between Astrid’s disappearance and the facility’s dark secrets. With characters like Stefan and Karin Jakobson clearly shaken, and John Harris looking increasingly suspicious, it’s anyone’s guess where this is all headed. Throw in Euan Rossi, and you’ve got a recipe for some seriously tense island drama.
As Perez and Tosh attempt to unravel the truth, the personal stakes become increasingly entangled with the professional. Is Astrid’s disappearance connected to the facility, or is something else at play? And how will the team manage these two high-pressure investigations simultaneously? One thing’s for certain: this episode won’t be a relaxing stroll along the Shetland coastline. Expect more twists, turns, and grim discoveries as the series continues its descent into the heart of island darkness.
Don’t miss Shetland, Wednesday, November 27th at 9:00 PM on BBC.
