In the show's second season, surgeon and anaesthetist Charlotte (Annabel Scholey) and Jacob (Sam Palladio) were a seemingly solid couple, that is until Mia (Aggy K Adams), a mysterious nurse from Norway, thrust her way into their lives and caused chaos, while Charlotte's ex-boyfriend Leo (Sendhil Ramamurthy), who she left for Jacob many years ago, was also back on the scene.
"Whereas this is more two love triangles with Charlotte and Jacob within those triangles, one with Mia and one with Leo. So the dynamic is really different."
So, what happened? And where did we leave the major players as the final credits rolled?
Read on for a rundown of how The Couple Next Door season 2 wrapped up.
Who was Mia really? And what was she running from?
On her 16th birthday, her criminal parents were arrested and she was taken into care, where she met Isak, a therapist who was employed to help her work through her trauma after losing her family, but instead he groomed her.
"You kept me in a f**king cage," she said to Isak when he finally managed to track her down after coming across the photo of her at a gala in Leeds.
Isak later claimed that he was simply there to invite people to their engagement party when really, it was another manipulation tactic, designed to keep her under his thumb.
But a short time later, she packed up and fled.
Who was killing patients in the hospital?
But it wasn't Mia who was responsible, as it initially appeared, but Jacob, who had engineered it to look like she was the culprit.
Then, when the other patient died of natural causes, he decided to make it look like the deaths were connected by amending a medical record under Mia's name. The matron had also witnessed Mia almost mistakenly administer morphine to said patient, before she was quickly stopped, which added to the cloud of suspicion around her.
That, combined with the death of Leo's father, who she was tending to shortly before his death, the prescription drugs, which Jacob had planted in her locker, and the disparaging remarks she had made about one of the deceased patients (due to him sexually assaulting her, which she decided not to report), ensured that all eyes were on Mia – with Jacob hopeful that his tracks would be covered and his marriage, the collapse of which he blamed on Mia, could be repaired.
No, Jacob remained determined to pin the whole sorry saga on Mia by poisoning Charlotte and writing a fake suicide note in which his wife admitted to lying for Mia, who she said had altered the records, and confessing that she had fallen under her spell, in turn humiliating herself professionally and destroying her marriage.
But Jacob's plan was foiled by Leo, Gemma and Ben, who were already onto him after discovering the CCTV of him entering Leo's father's room, and he was subsequently arrested, while Charlotte made a full recovery.
What happened to Mia and Isak?
Mia had also sent Charlotte a postcard in which she encouraged her to visit if she "ever wanted to rekindle things" – and the expression on the surgeon's face suggested that she was fantasising about doing just that.
As for Isak, Alan called the police after he learned of the abuse he had inflicted upon Mia. The pair then wrestled, with Isak throwing Alan down the stairs, before he fleed with Mia's money.
