The third episode of "How To Get To Heaven From Belfast" opens with a series of vivid flashbacks, revealing that Greta's initial encounter with Jason was a struggle for survival. She fought valiantly against him, but he overpowered her, leaving her on the brink of unconsciousness. In a desperate moment, she seized the opportunity to stab him and flee towards the cabin. The other girls, who were part of the cabin drama, learned about Jason's fate from Greta, a piece of information that could play a crucial role later in the story.
Fast forward to the present, the girls are forced to take shelter in the village due to the impending hurricane Olivia, which makes it unsafe to travel. They head back to the pub to confront the man who appears to be Jason, only to discover that he is actually Andrew, Jason's son. Andrew had received a cryptic call a week ago instructing him to come to town if he wanted to learn the truth about his father's disappearance. The caller was a woman's voice, and while that's all he knows, it's no coincidence that when he arrives, Greta is dead.
The girls are informed that the town's only hotel is fully booked, leaving them with no choice but to make do with spare cot beds in the attic. While Robyn is eager to drop the matter and return home, Saoirse reminds them that they're in over their heads and need to uncover the truth before it's too late. Whoever orchestrated their arrival and Andrew's presence in the village clearly knows more than they're letting on.
As for Greta, she falls asleep at the lighthouse, where we get more glimpses of her past. On a holiday trip, she stumbled upon a classmate named Jodie who confronted her while she was sunbathing, shocked and proclaiming, "It's you." These memories add depth to her character and hint at a possible connection between her and Jason.
The episode builds suspense and intrigue as the girls try to unravel the mystery of Jason's disappearance and Greta's fate. The vivid descriptions and vivid flashbacks make the story come alive, creating a sense of urgency as the girls race against time to solve the mystery before it's too late.
In the present, the gang joins Andrew for dinner at the hotel, where they learn that his father wasn't named Jason. He was a journalist named Charles Sampson. The original officers who were investigating his death have either retired or passed away, and the case seems to have gone cold. However, Andrew isn't about to give up on finding out what happened to his father. He left some notes, which include a fallen angel, a mournful woman, a cabin in the woods, and the familiar tattoo that we've seen so much recently. When the girls see it, they quickly hide their tattoos and start spiraling. Robyn and Dara fall out after dinner and have a big argument. It eventually ends with Robyn tying Dara up when she suggests coming clean to Andrew about what happened in the past.
Elsewhere, Saoirse takes herself aside for a drink. Liam naturally shows up and the pair wind up talking in confidence. Now, the night before Greta's death, Liam met a woman named Jodie at the bar. He explains that she had two handwoven bracelets on her wrist. They make them in a Portuguese village and she intended to give it to one of her friends - Greta. It soon dawns on Saoirse that the woman in the casket is that very same woman with the bracelet. Was it Jodie inside there?
Owen shows up at the hotel and rings Booker, telling her that he's "seen him" (referring to Andrew) and that they "need to move quickly." In the morning, the girls manage to trick Seamus into checking the records for Jodie's stay at the hotel. However, there doesn't seem to be anything tangible they can use. They have no address or contact number and it seems to be a dead-end.
Well, that is until Seamus shows up and reveals that Greta left a letter in her room inside the pillowcase. This happens to be a keyring from the resort Greta stayed at in Portugal. While this is going on, Andrew goes searching and finds the cabin in the woods, and pieces together all the clues. Speaking of clues, the girls start to piece together and realize that Jodie is the woman who died in the coffin. This is given even more weight when Booker reveals that Greta has been made in Jodie's image, complete with blonde hair and a brand new disguise!
