Black Mirror Season 6 Episode 2 Recap: Loch Henry
The focus of the episode is a documentary-making pair named Pia (Myha’la Herrold) and Davis (Samuel Blenkin) who go to a Scottish town to work on a nature documentary. They are drawn to a local real crime story, though, about a farmer lad named Iain Adair who killed many people before shooting Davis’s father, a police officer, and himself.
As Pia and Davis investigate the case further, they come upon a distressing video that links Janet (Monica Dolan), Davis’ mother, to the atrocities. While Davis’s father provides narration, the video depicts Janet torturing a missing couple while wearing a nurse’s uniform and a red mask. When Pia discovers Janet is the culprit, she tries to get away, but Janet follows her. Pia eventually stumbles into a stream, where she probably drowns.
Janet hangs herself afterward, leaving a box of artifacts and a letter for Davis. Once Davis is interviewed in a documentary-style format, it is revealed that the events have been put into a film called “Loch Henry: Truth Will Out.” The documentary reveals Davis’s parents were complicit in the atrocities, with Davis’s father Kenneth shooting the Adair family and then hurting himself to hide his involvement.
