In The Game, serial killer Patrick Harbottle (Robson Green) might have spent a year behind bars, but the manipulative psychopath definitely knows how to ensure he’s not forgotten by the man that put him away.
But it was the hit-and-run death of his wife Alice (Sunetra Sarker) that truly sent Huw on a downward spiral – and back towards Patrick’s terrifying cat-and-mouse game.
With so many twisted games at play, things finally reach their deadly climax as Huw looks for both vengeance and justice, and Patrick revels in the gameplay.
Here’s how the season 2 finale played out…
The Game season 2 ending explained
Did Patrick kill Jonathan Bower?
But for Jenny something didn’t quite add up. Patrick seemed too willing to hand over that information, even offering to take Huw and the police into the woods to uncover the body.
As Jenny reveals this information to Jonathan's widow Natalie, the truth clicks: Natalie was the one stalking her own husband, though she considers it more "looking after him". When Jonathan found out, he left her – which is why he was somewhere no one would have looked for him.
But Huw was one step ahead. Already becoming suspicious of Jackie, he had planted a tracker in her car – so simply followed it to their remote farmhouse hideaway. Drawing a gun on them both, Huw demanded Patrick drive them somewhere, thanking Jackie for her "assistance" in getting Patrick exactly where he wanted him. Now they were finally alone – and Huw can exact the revenge he had planned for his wife’s death from the start.
Heading into a barn, Patrick taunts Huw about his daughter, Margot, revealing he’s been calling her every other day for weeks, branding him "pathetic" as he doesn’t have it in him to actually pull the trigger.
What happens to Huw?
With Patrick now changed out of his gaudy green and yellow prisoner jumpsuit, they dump Huw in a remote location 20 miles away, leaving him to hitch a ride to a hospital as they hide out in Sam's old family flat.
When the police are informed of Huw being found safely, Jenny goes to check on him. He seems discombobulated and concussed, but continues to lie about what he knows, and his involvement in Patrick getting away. She doesn’t entirely buy it, noticing his car’s missing.
As Sam arrives to "help around the house", Margot leaves upset. He gets Huw a glass of water and shares information about his abusive upbringing before leaving.
He then tries to cheer Margot up by offering to take her on a romantic getaway, and although she declines a trip abroad, she agrees to a hotel. But it’s all part of Patrick’s bigger plan, with Sam then calling him up and agreeing to kill Margot if she "doesn’t agree" to whatever the next phase is.
What happens to Margot?
When they get to the flat, Patrick is already gone, only leaving behind his jumpsuit. But Huw is unnerved… as he feels like they’ve been there before. He realises Ray Butler, Patrick’s second victim, was found in that very flat. On top of that, there’s a belt left on the table – the same way Sam said his dad would leave his before beating him.
As they pack their bags, Sam convinces Margot to switch off her phone and give it to him, and she agrees as she needs time to unplug from her father.
As they realise that Margot is in serious danger, Huw frantically tries to call Margot, and Jenny tries to call the Chief, who is furious about Huw's behaviour and kicks him off the investigation. He also warns Jenny he thinks that Margot is likely already dead. Desperate, Jenny pleads with Jackie for help, and she cracks, realising Patrick played her. But she also reveals something to Jenny – Huw has a gun, and doesn’t seem afraid to use it.
At the farmhouse, Huw arrives brandishing a knife, declaring that while he couldn’t kill him before, he can now he knows he was behind Alice’s death. Patrick warns that if he dies, Margot dies – so Huw needs to tread carefully. Huw demands proof she's alive, so Patrick calls Sam and tells him to put her on the phone.
As Margot hangs up the phone, Patrick says his entire plan was to disappear with her, only killing Margot if she tried to come home as keeping her away would have driven him more crazy than murdering her. He callously promises to take care of her, and taunts Huw for sacrificing up everything, just for him.
At the hotel, Sam probes Margot on what was said, secretly grabbing a knife from the room service trolley to kill her should he need to. She asks him if he’s going to hurt her, and he promises no, so she tells him she loves him and wants to run away abroad like he offered.
As she gets dressed and packs her bags, Huw heads home and packs his – including photos of Alice and Margot. When he hears police sirens heading towards the house, he escapes to the beach before going on the run, leaving the future open for everyone.
