In the second episode of The Wives, Beth (Jo Joyner), flustered, escapes from Charlie’s (Jamie Bamber) apartment and confides in Natasha (Angela Griffin) and Sylvie (Tamzin Outhwaite) about a bag she found, raising suspicions about Charlie’s involvement in Annabelle’s death.
Sean (Johnathan Forbes) uncovers financial troubles in the family business, and Charlie discloses a secret gambling addiction funded by a hidden account.
As the wives tail Jade into town, they spot Charlie in a backstreet exchange, swapping the bag for an envelope. The family holds an emotional memorial for Annabelle, unaware that Charlie is eavesdropping on their conversation.
The Wives is a gripping six-part mystery drama exploring a family’s unraveling during a summer that changes their lives. The series focuses on the Morgan family, who, a year prior, dealt with the disappearance of Annabelle Morgan (played by Catriona Chandler) while vacationing in Malta. The police assumed she fell from a cliff based on evidence of her phone being found on the edge.
This summer, the Morgans return to their holiday apartments in Malta. Charlie’s arrival with a new, younger partner, Jade (Katie Clarkson-Hill), raises questions. The wives—Beth, Natasha, and Sylvie—turn amateur detectives, suspecting foul play and launching their investigation.
