New Characters Introduced
• Elli (Charlotte and Peter’s younger daughter)
Secrets Revealed
• Peter is into trans people and has been sleeping in a separate bed for a year since Charlotte found out about it.
Whole Episode Revolves Around Charlotte’s Family
• Peter is keeping secrets, and his father, Helge, might know a lot about the disappearances. Charlotte starts suspecting her husband Peter for various reasons. Peter was out the night Mikkel disappeared. When Charlotte asks him about his whereabouts, Peter blatantly lies to her.
• Elli, the younger daughter of Peter and Charlotte, goes missing for most of the episode. Later on, she comes back and tells them that she met someone named Noah in the woods.
Jonas and The Mysterious Man
Jonas continues investigating, while the mysterious man keeps a close eye on him. Charlotte’s elder daughter is hiding money in the woods. Mikkel’s elder brother finds it, and they develop a weird connection that eventually leads to them making out.
Mikkel’s dad, Ulrich, is going crazy trying to find the connection. He is all over the place right now.
I think Charlotte holds the key at this point to make an advancement in this case. Also, by the looks of it, the mysterious man might talk to Jonas in the next episode. My prediction is that he is a time traveler.

Final Words
Although a lot happened in this episode, I think we are still stuck in a loop. The episode felt a little stretched, and the story didn’t advance much. It felt like one of those mid-season episodes made just to add an extra episode to fill up the season.
Nevertheless, fingers crossed for episode 5.

Special Mention
• I really loved the ambiance in this episode. It was dark and raining all the time. My suggestion is to watch all the episodes of Dark with headphones on, using the German audio with English subtitles.
