Plot: It’s a big day on the ship – The Captain’s Ball, attended by the VIP guests. Jamie shares An intimate moment with Olly whilst Vivian cosies up to Lily, one of the guests, risking big repercussions if she’s caught. Jamie and Vivian gather enough evidence to go to the authorities about Pippa’s disappearance, they just need the Entertainment Crew to back them up. However, these guys are running their own illegal enterprise and want nowhere near the police, unless Jamie does them a dangerous favour first. As the Captain’s Ball draws to a close, a crew member close to home is put in grave danger.
Runtime: 45 Minutes
There will be spoilers in the rest of the recap
Story: Showtime! Starts by showing what Pippa was up to on her journeys, picking up supplies for the party side of life on the cruise. Meanwhile, Jamie and the rest of the crew are preparing for the Captain’s Ball. Jamie looks to get closer to Sophia, informing her that he was the one who called the police, with a detective arriving on board.
With Jamie getting closer to Ollie, Vivian finds herself drawn to a passenger Lily. Elsewhere Cormac is forced to run around the ship during an inspection of the crew’s quarters. Detective Martinez arrives on board to investigate Danny’s death, where the crew continue to try and hide it as a suicide.
Jamie goes on to confront Ollie about the attack last episode, revealing it was more gang scares. It was never going to be dangerous. Meanwhile, Cormac stumbles upon who has the tattoo after getting caught trapped in a closet. Jamie goes on to learn who is the head of the Filipino mafia on board. It isn’t until the closing sequence we get to see the next death, one that doesn’t seem to make as much sense in the bigger picture of everything.
Verdict on Showtime!
Showtime! Continues to build the gang war on board, as the story keeps moving away from the slasher inspiration the opening episode suggested. It shows how Jamie has gotten into more trouble than he bargained for.
Having a detective not getting much discovered doesn’t help along the way. The teasing romances for Vivian and Jamie seem to be taking more centre stage. While Cormac still continues to be the most entertaining character in the series.
When the episode does end with excellent effects behind the latest death, it still doesn’t bring us enough of the creepy duck figure that could easily become the icon of the series.
Where to Watch: Wreck is available on BBC iPlayer Now.
Final Thoughts – Showtime! Teases the mystery but doesn’t seem to move the story along enough.
Plot: Jamie wakes up with the hangover from hell but is determined to get his investigation back on track. Trusting fellow newbie Vivian enough to let her in on his real reason for being on the ship, they begin forming a plan, which is immediately derailed when they receive grim news about a fellow crew member. However, Jamie and Vivian catch a break, finding a clue that leads them to asking dreamboat Olly for a big favour, one that will bring them down to the ship’s engine room and face to face with The Baby, a fearsome figure in the ship’s Filipino ‘mafia’ one of the many tribes onboard.
Runtime: 44 Minutes
There will be spoilers in the rest of the recap
Story: Catch of the Day starts by going back to before Pippa (Tyack) was part of the crew. Seeing how her decision to leave Jamie (Kennedy) alone with their alcoholic father could be dangerous. Returning to the ship, we see the aftermath of the party and the clean-up work left for one person to do. This also leads to the discovery of the latest victim’s body.
Jamie and Vivian look to continue their investigation, only to learn that Danny was the latest victim. After being told it was suicide, they learn the truth, as Sophia (Nokes) looks to continue the business on the side. But is scared that her safety isn’t guaranteed anymore. Meanwhile, Jamie goes deep into the ship, getting access to a secretive group for clues to who might have been after his sister.
While the rest of the crew looks to grieve Danny’s death, Jamie gets his first encounter with a mysterious masked figure. Once the figure has escaped, the mask reveals their true identity. But are they really the killer?
Verdict on Catch of the Day
Catch of the Day continues to build up the mystery about what happened to Jamie’s sister. Jamie and Vivian continue to be excellent to watch their amateur detective act. On the other side of things, Cormac continues to get most of the laughs, being trapped in the cabin. Meanwhile, Sophia’s operation starts to build a more dangerous side that Jamie isn’t prepared for.
This episode does continue to bring the laughs, which is great to watch. Sadly, we don’t seem to get much of the slasher side of things here, with only one small moment of suspense in this episode.
Where to Watch: Wreck is available on BBC iPlayer Now.
Final Thoughts – Catch of the Day continues to build the characters and gets the laughs but lacks suspense in this episode.

Will we meet any of the other characters from the game?
What does older Billie want with Bea?
Will older Jade come back stronger?
How many Weskers are there?
What actually caused the outbreak in the first place?
Short Thoughts
In what is an all-action final episode to the series, we are left with a giant creature, that could be from any creature feature. Very little from the biggest legacy characters in the series and more questions than answers.
For the series this does feel disappointing because it promised so much from the opening episodes, only to get bogged down in high school drama. There is so much that makes this feel empty by not including any of the characters from the games or movies. Yes, I know Wesker is in it, but he is nothing like the one we met in the films.
It also leaves the biggest cliffhanger in the final scene, one that would introduce a bigger legacy creature to the world.
Final Thoughts: For the action it is fun, but for storytelling, this just disappoints on every level. 2/5
We start back in 2005 here, where Albert Wesker works with his brothers for a strict version of Albert, who gets discovered, wanting to clear up the evidence. That he has been cloning himself. Discovered by Evelyn who wants answers.
Move back to 2022, Albert gets to his dim-witted clone Burt who has been locked up since the discovery. The pair look to catch up before getting interrupted.
Back in 2036, Jade is dealing with the consequences of her actions. Needing to face the reality of what she did that got her friend killed. She is locked up as Umbrella want a meeting. The two sides are clearly waiting to go into conflict. Jade is looking to prepare her own daughter for the dangers that would come for her, begging her to plan for her escape.
In 2022, Albert is being pressed by Evelyn who is determined to get the product out and wants to know why he killed Angel. Billie and Jade try to continue their normal routine, which sees the appearance of Burt in their lives. They can see the difference, but don’t think too much about it. Burt doesn’t know how to keep a secret and tells the girls everything. As Evelyn looks to test the drugs closer to home.
In 2036, Jade has accepted to give herself up to Umbrella, if it means the rest of the ship can be safe. Jade has a meeting with Billie, releasing the specimen she created, attracting every infected from around.
Meanwhile, in 2022, Jade and Billie are taken to Evelyn. Taking them to meet their father, revealing that he needs to inject them with blood every day to keep him maintained.
What to look out for next time?
What is that creature on the ship?
How will Jade and Billie escape in 2036?
What is next for Billie and Jade in 2022?
How Many Albert Weskers are there?
Short Thoughts
Lance Reddick takes an amazing twist on what we have seen from him so far, bringing a comedic streak, which will make you laugh out loud.
When it comes to the two timelines, they both have left the series open for the final. With the infected coming for the Umbrella crew in 2036 and in 2022 the girls need to figure out their future.
We are still waiting for the big breakout in 2022, which is better than being the cliff-hanger hoping to get a new season. Elsewhere, nothing feels as connected as it could be on this side of the story.
Final Thoughts: This is a building episode looking to draw us in for the season finale, which is fine, it has plenty left to answer and the chaos is here. Just not enough is going on in the bigger picture. 2/5
