***MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE JETTY AHEAD***<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahead of The Jetty\u2019s<\/a> final episode, three huge questions still needed answering: Who set fire to the boat hut, and why? Who murdered Riz (Weruche Opia), the podcaster who was investigating the link between the abuse of underage girls in the town and the disappearance of Amy Knightley (Bo Bragason)? And what became of the missing teenager, who vanished 17 years ago and was never seen again?<\/p>\n

Jenna Coleman\u2019s Ember Manning was closing in on the truth \u2013 all while her own mental health continued to deteriorate after learning that her late husband Malachy (Tom Glynn-Carney) <\/span>had been sexually involved with Amy and was with her the night of her disappearance.<\/p>\n

The detective was haunted by the ugly truth, but that was just the beginning. Read on for a full breakdown of The Jetty episode 4.<\/p>\n

The Jetty ending explained: Who killed Amy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the finale, it was revealed that Amy had been killed, but not in the manner you might have anticipated.<\/p>\n

She died after she was hit by a car which Ember was driving while under the influence of drugs<\/strong> given to her by Mack as part of her birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n

To \u201cprotect\u201d Ember, Mack had convinced Arj (Matthew McNulty), who was also high while travelling with them in the car, that he was responsible, a lie which he came to accept as the truth.<\/p>\n

Amy\u2019s body was then buried in the boat hut and that\u2019s where she remained for 17 years, until the renovation began, which forced Arj to dig up her remains and set fire to the property to conceal any evidence.<\/p>\n

But then Riz arrived on the scene and her private investigator discovered a bone fragment in the rubble, which prompted Arj to take drastic action \u2013 only for Ember to later uncover his crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d made my predictions of who I thought it was going to be, and obviously the way a thing is told, it nails you onto someone,\u201d said Ruby Stokes, who plays Ember\u2019s daughter Hannah, in an interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>. \u201cBut no, I had absolutely no idea that it was Arj or Ember that had done either of those things.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that, though, that it was the person you\u2019re rooting for who ultimately did the bad thing. It\u2019s interesting that Arj is presented as the nice guy\u2026 when ultimately he did the bad thing. I liked that and the way it went.\u201d<\/p>\n

Archie Renaux, who plays Ember\u2019s junior colleague Hitch, joked that he \u201cknew everything\u201d when he first read the scripts, before adding: \u201cI had no idea, I really had no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhat I love about this is its exploration of how our memory, our brains can misremember things to protect us and deal with trauma or a bad event. I just love how that was what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
