Warning: this article contains full spoilers for Black Mirror season 6 episode 2, Loch Henry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing that Black Mirror has taught us over the years, it\u2019s that you can\u2019t guess how things are going to end for any of the characters in the dystopian series.<\/p>\n

Season 6 continues on in a strong vein with Loch Henry, which on the face of it, seems to just be a tale about a documentary-making couple who are intrigued by a true crime case.<\/p>\n

As per the synopsis: \u201cA young couple travel to a sleepy Scottish town to start work on a genteel nature documentary, but find themselves drawn to a juicy local story involving shocking events of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

But of course, the synopsis gives literally nothing away, and nothing could quite prepare any viewer for the twist this episode takes. But what happens to Pia (played by Myha\u2019la Herrold) and Davis (Samuel Blenkin) in the end? Read on for everything you need to know about the ending of Loch Henry, but be warned as there are full spoilers<\/strong> ahead.<\/p>\n

The second episode of season 6 provided all the chill of a Scottish crime drama and also simultaneously managed to hold a mirror up to alarming true crime content consumption. So, you just knew that the ending of Loch Henry was going to be one for the books.<\/p>\n

As Pia and Davis enjoyed a long weekend over in his small Scottish village, they went to go and visit Davis\u2019s longtime friend Stuart (Daniel Portman) at his pub. He complained that tourism was a thing of the past after the case of Iain Adair, a quiet farming boy who was found to have killed and tortured multiple people and then shot his parents, himself and Davis\u2019s police officer father Kenneth in the shoulder.<\/p>\n

Soon, Pia was interested in exploring the case further and why Adair had killed those people. Originally, the pair kept the documentary a secret from Davis\u2019s mother Janet (Monica Dolan) but after she finds out about it, she\u2019s happy to sit down and recount her version of events as a local and wife of the now dead Kenneth.<\/p>\n

When they take it to the production company, they ask for new material and so, the pair get working intently, going back to Adair\u2019s house with Stuart. But on the way back home, they get into a car accident with Davis having to spend the night in hospital. Stuart\u2019s father Richard (John Hannah) also has to spend the night in hospital after falling down the stairs.<\/p>\n

That evening, Janet cooks dinner for Pia who is now spending the night back at the home by herself with Davis in hospital. At the same time, we see that Richard has found Davis\u2019s hospital bed and has something to tell him.<\/p>\n

As we flash back to Pia in Davis\u2019s room, she\u2019s watching the footage that they shot that day on the old camera that requires VHS tapes. Of course, they needed some blanks but unable to get any, Davis said that filming over his mother\u2019s old Bergerac tapes would be fine as she doesn\u2019t watch them anyway.<\/p>\n

In the hospital, Richard tells Davis that he needs to stop the film. He doesn\u2019t have proof but he thinks he\u2019s \u201calways known\u201d and just when you\u2019re left thinking what the hell he means, we go back to Pia and the video footage. Their footage of the day stops at a certain point with the ending credits of Bergerac rolling but then, another clip starts to roll and it\u2019s Iain Adair.<\/p>

Pia takes notice of it and soon sees that the video shows Dawn and Simon, the missing couple that Davis told her about and they\u2019re crying on the sofa, tied up and unclothed. The person holding the camera gives it over to Adair and it\u2019s Kenny, Davis\u2019s father in his police uniform. He narrates the video behind the couple saying that \u201cthe mistress\u201d will be \u201chaving fun\u201d with them both.<\/p>\n

As Janet continues making the dinner, Pia sees that the camera then flashes to a younger Janet dressed in a nurse\u2019s uniform and red mask. She dances round with an electric drill in her hand and you can only hear the couple\u2019s screams. But then in the present, Janet comes up behind Pia to tell her dinner is ready. Pia tries to keep calm through dinner but notices the very same red mask from the video hanging on the wall behind Janet.<\/p>\n

Pia takes herself off to the bathroom and then makes excuses to leave the house, saying she needs to go for a walk. Suspicious of her actions, Janet goes up to Davis\u2019s room and sees one of her Bergerac videos in the VHS player, clearly knowing what Pia has seen. She drives up behind Pia saying for her to get in the car.<\/p>\n

But Pia runs off and unable to get a phone signal, she hides behind a brick wall so that Janet can\u2019t see her. Janet continues to call out for Pia but Pia walks into a stream, trying to make her way to the other side. But she loses her balance, tripping and landing on a rock. We then see her body float downstream.<\/p>\n

Frustrated at not being able to find her, Janet shouts into the air and later drives back home. Underneath her bed, she pulls out a box that has memorabilia from that time including the butterfly broach Dawn was last seen wearing before she disappeared. She pulls out the stack of polaroid pictures and it\u2019s then that we see the victims of her and Kenneth\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n

She places the box along with all of the Bergerac videos on the dining room table and writes a note, which she leaves on top of the box. She puts on the red mask one last time and hangs herself in her bedroom with a rope that was also in the drawer underneath her bed.<\/p>\n

What happened to Davis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After the chilling events of that night unfold, the next scene we see is Davis being interviewed in the style of a documentary. The producer says to him: \u201cSo, tell us about the film you\u2019re making.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what we don\u2019t realise immediately is that it\u2019s actually a Streamberry documentary trailer and we soon see the footage that Davis shot of Pia, along with those historical clips they were originally going to use. But it\u2019s also clearly a documentary about what we\u2019ve just found out as clips of Janet and Kenneth are overlayed with tense trailer music.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s in the trailer that we learn that Richard, Stuart\u2019s father, confesses he spent a night with Kenneth and Janet where things got carried away. He said they took part in sex games but the way they behaved that night made him think that Adair didn\u2019t act alone.<\/p>\n

We then see current day news reports breaking the news of the pair\u2019s involvement and the fact that Adair had been under the guidance of Kenneth. It\u2019s then revealed that Kenneth shot the Adairs dead and deliberately wounded himself to cover up his role in the murders.<\/p>\n

As for Davis, the trailer then shows him breaking down crying as the name for the documentary is revealed: Loch Henry Truth Will Out.<\/p>\n

It then flashes to the night of the BAFTAs where Loch Henry Truth Will Out wins best factual series and the head of Historik Productions Kate Czar dedicates the award to him and his late girlfriend, Pia. At the party after the awards, they then see Weruche Opia, and Kate approaches her about auditioning for the drama TV series role of Pia.<\/p>\n

Back at his hotel room afterwards, Davis drinks alone and accepts a call from a very happy Stuart but quickly hangs up after he tells him how booked up he\u2019s been. At the pub, we see how the pub goers are wearing the same red mask that Janet was wearing in the crimes \u2013 clearly a new trend.<\/p>\n

Davis then opens up a note from his pocket and it\u2019s the note Janet had written him before she died, it reads: \u201cFor your film. Mum.\u201d The last shot is of Davis crying, looking at the BAFTA award and drinking his champagne.<\/p>\n
