7. Lee Tells Darby About Her Past With Andy Ronson
In the latest installment of A Murder at the End of the World, episode 5 concluded with a harrowing incident as Darby found herself trapped underwater when the swimming pool's lid was maliciously shut. The tension escalated in episode 6 when Darby struggled for air until David arrived and forcefully opened the pool's lid. After the near-death experience, Darby was brought in by David and Lee, who took great care to prevent her from suffering hypothermia. Although this interaction does not confirm Lee and David's innocence, it does shed light on the depth of their relationship. As David tenderly embraces Lee before leaving Darby in their care, it raises suspicion regarding their involvement in the plot with Bill and Rohan.
Lee, Bill, Rohan, and David's plan for the retreat becomes less shrouded
Lee discovered that Andy was becoming increasingly possessive and paranoid about their son, Zoomer. This led her to take decisive action, including deliberately misleading Andy and escaping with Zoomer, only to find that Andy was waiting for them at a friend's cabin. Ultimately, she felt she had no choice but to return to Andy's hotel in Iceland with Zoomer.
6. Lee Reveals Bill And Rohan's Plan For The Retreat
Lee's plan confirms why Darby was invited
Following Lee's disclosure about her history with Andy, Darby begins to piece things together and realizes that Rohan and Bill had been aiding her in escaping from Andy. Lee discloses that Andy had purposely invited Bill to the retreat. While the true motive behind Andy's invitation remains a mystery, Lee insists that Andy is too intelligent to have invited Bill with the intent to harm him. Darby speculates that Andy must have wanted Bill there to gain more insight into Zoomer, as Bill is Zoomer's biological father. Lee Andersen (Brit Marling) also reveals that Bill had initially turned down Andy's offer to join him at the retreat, but Andy later used Darby as a means to persuade Bill to agree.
Since Lee and Bill had a pre-existing relationship, Lee saw his arrival at the retreat as an opportunity to strategize her escape. They enlisted Rohan in their plan due to his involvement in climate activism, which made him a credible candidate for invitation to the retreat. Additionally, his "Last Chance" boat, which is devoid of electronic devices, would enable Lee and Zoomer to go off the grid for a period of time. Witnessing Andy's volatile behavior, David understood the potential danger and thus empathized with Lee, taking part in her plan by arranging Argentinian passports for her. David's role in the plan sheds light on why Tomas was carrying three cups to Bill's room on the night of his murder.
5. Darby And Lee Speculate Whether Andy Could Still Be The Murder
Footage from Bill's doorbell reveals some crucial details
Darby and Lee analyze the video from Bill's doorbell and discover that Bill had opened his door just moments before his death. However, as no one is seen in the doorway, they suspect that the killer may have edited themselves out of the security footage. This leads them to consider whether Andy could be the culprit, or if someone like Eva, who Lee suggests has feelings for Andy, could have been involved. Lu Mei also raises suspicion due to Bill's negative comments about her smart cities project.
4. Darby Reads Bill's Copy Of "The Silver Doe" To Find Answers
"The Silver Doe" reveals what happened to the killer from Darby and Bill's past
Initially resistant to reading the final arc of her book in episode 6 of A Murder at the End of the World, Darby is coerced by Oliver to recite it after Bill had highlighted it with blood. As she reads, a flashback reveals how, after Darby and Bill uncovered the dead body in the killer's basement, the killer showed up and pointed a gun at them. However, instead of firing at them, he shot himself, leaving Bill shell-shocked. Following this, Darby climbed out of the basement and walked over to a neighbor's house to inform law enforcement about the crime. This confirms that the Silver Doe killer likely has nothing to do with the murders at the retreat.
3. Darby's Flashback Confirms Why Bill Left Her
Darby's account of the Silver Doe murders and how they solved them reveals what went wrong with her relationship
Re-reading her book's finale helps Darby understand that she left Bill many times before he left her.
Later in Episode 6 of A Murder at the End of the World, when Darby and Bill return to their hotel room, Bill finds himself unable to shake off their close call with doom. Meanwhile, Darby remains preoccupied with the killer, pondering whether he might have tracked them online. Bill is unsettled by Darby's apparent detachment from the danger they faced, prompting him to confront the unsettling realization that he may have to die for her to truly love him. In a moment of resolve, he disposes of all his electronic devices in the bathtub while Darby sleeps, ensuring that she cannot contact him as he leaves. As Darby revisits the conclusion of her book, she comes to understand that she had left Bill many times before he ultimately left her.
2. Oliver Notices A Crucial Detail In Bill's "Silver Doe" Copy
Bill had highlighted one particular phrase in the book before his death
Oliver observes that Bill had specifically emphasized "the result of faulty programming" in the book, a phrase he had previously used to describe the Silver Doe killer. Although this clue does not unveil the main killer's identity, it hints that the killer at the retreat may be connected to Andy's AI advancements. Bill's clue seems to imply that Ray could have played a role in his own murder because Ray is essentially just a pre-programmed piece of technology without inherent morality. He is, as Bill suggests, a product of "the same code being recycled again and again."
