The second and final part of The Split’s “Barcelona” special arrives, and if the first hour was any indication, family secrets are about to detonate like a misplaced paella burner. Last night’s installment ended with the revelation of a significant affair, and the fallout threatens to scorch more than just the Spanish sunbathers.
This time, the Defoe family gathers for Rose and James’ wedding, an event that looks less and less likely to happen with each passing melodramatic glance. The central mystery — who knew about the infidelity and for how long — fuels the tension, turning a joyous occasion into a viper’s nest of suspicion and resentment.
Of course, Hannah (Nicola Walker) remains the show’s emotional anchor. She must now decide if this family, with all its fractures and betrayals, is one she still wants to be a part of. Given that this is The Split, expect a choice laden with both profound sadness and a flicker of defiant hope.
Don’t miss the conclusion of “Barcelona” on BBC One, Monday, December 30, 2024, at 9:00 PM.
